RE: (313) Music Room
article he wrote about his room - it's in a converted barn
they found a new house, it seems, primarily so he could build this out
he's got some serious cash

I'm guessing that the guy IS married and this is just the space above
his garage! First off, he lives in the freakin' mountains out west in a
cedar shingled house (garage matches it). That's big $ right there. He
custom built the house to have this acoustically treated space above the
garage so he could go out there and get away from his wife (I'm sure
she's happy to have him out of the house too) and listen to his jazz
music (evidence - framed pics of artists on walls). I bet his house is
5 times the size of this building in the first picture. He's a rich
mofo.
I like the way he's got a two seat sofa behind his single reclining
chair - he imagines himself the be the captain of his freakin' musical
ship.

Pfff, I don't see a tuned mass damper anywhere to counteract the effects of the wind on his house. He has cables crossing at angles other than 90 degrees! And some of them touch the ground!
