Dear Friends... One more interesting story with photos....
http://www.studio440.com/projects_rahman.htm <http://www.studio440.com/projects_rahman.htm> Perched above the urban chaos of India's entertainment capital, the studio of this noted film music composer is a tranquil oasis. The two main rooms in the straightforward plan dovetail together in a complex section. Each is equipped with a console that sits atop raised platforms concealing cable troughs. A stepped window in the Control Room front wall offers clear sight lines to a screen in the adjacent Mix Stage/Tracking Room. Designed with its own projection system and motorized blackout window shades, the Control Room can function independently of the stage. Mobile racks facilitate sharing of equipment. Visible from the Control Room, iso booths lining one side of the stage have windows with views looking out over the city. Just as the client's music is a transcendent fusion of past and present, skillful design blends traditional materials with modern technology. Subdued lighting accents the intricate patterns, sumptuous textures, and rich colors of fabric and wood finishes. The scalloped profile of custom ceiling panels used to diffuse sound recall the draped ceilings of nomadic tents. ------------------- Panchathan Record Inn is music director A. R.
