Well, it’s been about a month since my last post, so I guess that an “update” is in order, huh?
After extensive conversations with manufacturers and an certain acoustical designer, it’s clear to me that in order to achieve my goals, I need to raise some serious cash. In fact, the truth be told, my budget has almost quadrupled since inception, even with us doing the lions share of the work, construction wise.
We’re in the process of connecting two separate buildings together, to form a large rectangular complex, that will allow recording and administrative spaces to reside side by side.
That has been hampered by delays, primarily in the “planning and zoning” end of the world, as the inspectors don’t know quite what to think about the fact that we’re connecting 40′ shipping containers together with masonry and concrete.
The end result is going to be almost 3000 square feet of recording facility, with enough room to do everything but record “orchestral epic soundtracks.”
Right now, we’re excavating the area out between the two “buildings,” so that we can build the box that will interconnect them. It sounded easy on paper, but it’s proved a sizable challenge. I feel like a dentist trying to fill a cavity. Literally.
Once we get into the “serious” part of deconstruction and reconstruction, I’ll start posting photographs so that you can see the progress. I think you’ll find it real interesting.
Stay tuned!
