Sounds of the Studio, Anthony Gormley first audio work, has been trailed as a "teleportational sound portrait of Gormley's cathedral-like studio". In other words, it's an evocative snapshot of his working environment, mixing high-grade field recordings (Chris Watson would be proud) with elements of music concrete. Hammers, grinders, fans, welders, and all sorts of other beasts reverberate in the vast caverns of an extraordinary acoustic space. A true AAA valve mastered mono recording, direct to 1/4 inch tape using the legendary RCA KU-3A ribbon microphone. A 180gr. vinyl album artfully presented in a beautiful sleeve, with a special forward from Gormley himself.
