Space For Music
|
I've recently discovered a love for recording acoustic instruments in cool spaces.
I'm on the hunt for rooms, halls, sanctuaries, studios, and any place that is...

As far as acoustic instruments go, so far I've recorded French horn, bells, trumpet, tuba, flute, cello, violin, viola, vibraphone, vocals, and choir.
I've done this in two different churches, an auditorium, and a cultural center. Every space provides different acoustics and enhances different instruments' qualities. That's why even though I've been very happy with these places, it doesn't hurt to collect more locations.
You have an awesome space, don't you? I would LOVE to record in it. The echos and reverbs of amazing spaces like yours are what helps give character to recordings, and I would really appreciate the opportunity to imprint that character on one of my next songs.

* So, what is a "big" space? It really depends, but a high ceiling is ideal. The smallest "big" room for recording might be 15' tall x 24' wide x 39' long. The bigger the better.
* How quiet is "very quiet?" If you stand in the center of the room, what do you hear? If you can't identify any sounds, it's probably perfect. If you can identify the sounds of traffic, people, heat/AC, or any random sounds that might show up on a recording, then it's probably too loud.

* Instruments can get loud. Like trumpets, for example. Would loud instruments disrupt anyone in/near your space?
* I usually bring a photographer with me, and musicians arrive after setup and leave before clean up. It's usually only 3-7 people in the building at a time.
* I respect your time and the value of your property, and I have no expectations of free use. However, what I do has made zero profit, so I really appreciate tiny price tags. I am also happy to work out trades, like photography or audio recording, should you need any. I am also very flexible with dates, and am happy to schedule for a time when it is most convenient for you (during your not-so-busy times of year, or days of the week that aren't typically popular).
The room can be set up from a previous event or set up for an upcoming one, as this does not matter for audio recording. I won't move anything you don't want me to, and I'll put everything back the way I found it. I don't require anything from you except access to your big quiet room ...and electricity ...and I wont turn down a table and chair ...and access to a bathroom.
