Ground zero

    
Here we are! I've finally decided on a unit in a building in Downtown Los Angeles as the location for my new music production suite The Tin Room. It is so called because I intend to use a combination of corrugated tin and corrugated fiberglass panels for much of the wall materials - along with framing with steels studs and exposed electrical conduit. I've looked at a number of rooms in this building before committing to this suite, and while the others may have a better view of the skyline or more direct sunlight or the like, they all proved to have other undesirable qualities or insurmountable technical issues. This unit gets it's light from the building's interior light well. The windows get plenty of light and blue sky to boot and it stays cool. But perhaps the most important attribute is its' sound...or lack thereof. With the windows closed you can hear a pin drop. My acute case of tinnitus might even have a hard time in this space, but that's OK, because the microphones are going to love it! A view...? you can have it. I plan to be looking inside whilst working in this space, and that's the only view I'll need.
