Olken - Dinosaurs On Jupiter

Haven't posted a song in a while, here's a new one for you guys that I have been working on. This one. This is one of the many songs off of Olken's new record that we have been working on since second semester. All of this was recorded at school and the mixing was all done in the newly built Unearthed Audio studio. Hope you enjoy, more songs to come soon.

Unearthed Audio - Live Room

Thank you for all who donated, the studio is nearly complete. We are calling the studio Unearthed Audio (website soon to be up) and we have a whole list of musicians and bands who want to record with us already so this summer will be a busy one. Here are pictures of the finished live room (recording space). The control room (mixing space) is still in the works.

First Day Internship

This past Tuesday, I had my first day of internship at Electrical Audio in Chicago. I met Steve Albini (owner of Electrical, most famous for producing Nirvana) and I was shown around the studios. The first day of internship was basically just learning the procedures of cleaning and the other duties of interning. I had to clean the recording space, wash dishes, prepare coffee, etc. I learned how to make Steve's signature "Fluffy Coffee" which consists of maple syrup, steamed milk, an espresso shot with cinnamon, all steamed and fluffed out. Right now, my internship is 2 days a week. I work every Tuesday and Friday from 11am to 5pm. Here are a couple pictures I snatched in Studio B of the equipment.

Aside from the internship, I have been extremely busy everyday building the summer studio. The recording space/live room is almost complete. The walls and ceiling are treated and it sounds much better than it did before although there are still some acoustical issues that still needs to be figured out.

All that's left to be done is curtaining off half of the hallway into a control room, waiting for all the equipment to arrive in the mail, cabling, and cleaning. Hopefully the studio will be 90% functional and complete by tomorrow.

A big update with a photo journal of the construction of the studio will be put up all together upon completion. Stay tuned.
