[GSBN] Recording Studio in Straw

[Jim Carfrae]

Hi All

I know of two studios in the UK, both in Bristol.

The first is a dedicated music facility called "Strawdio" (I wonder if anyone else has used that name!) http://www.pindropclub.co.uk/strawdio/journal.htm

The other is a general purpose studio built by Rik Lander who works in film. http://www.bristolgreenhouse.co.uk/

I have done some recording in my own SB house, and the engineer commented on the great acoustic qualities of the straw.

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.

Hi all,

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)?

thanks,

Rikki
