Lou remarked that you can't get acoustics like that outside of some places in Europe.<div>

<br>
I know of two studios in the UK, both in Bristol.<br>
<br>
The first is a dedicated music facility called "Strawdio" (I wonder if anyone else has used that name!) <a href="http://www.pindropclub.co.uk/strawdio/journal.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pindropclub.co.uk/strawdio/journal.htm</a><br>
<br>
The other is a general purpose studio built by Rik Lander who works in film. <a href="http://www.bristolgreenhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.bristolgreenhouse.co.uk/</a><br>
<br>
I have done some recording in my own SB house, and the engineer commented on the great acoustic qualities of the straw.<br>

PS I've submitted my PhD thesis on the moisture performance of straw, I will let it out once I've been examined in another 8 weeks or so.<br>

<div><br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have gotten a petition from some people interested in building a Recording Studio with straw, and they are interested in getting touch with others who have already done so. Can anyone give me contact information for other studios (owners or builders)?<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
