WSDG, China, John Storyk, Sergio Molho, Renato Cipriano, Beth Walters, Dirk Noy 英国制作人Paul Epworth和一些响当当的名字合作过，包括Adele, U2，Coldplay和Paul McCartney。而他的录音室The Church本身就创造了历史。虽然最早是朝圣的场所，这个录音室已经被很多制作人拥有过。包括儿童电视节目制作人，来自The Arithmetic的Dave Steward以及词曲创作人David Gray。在多年间，它也接待过Bob Dylan, Radiohead和Depeche Mode。让我们跟随Sound on Sound团队与Paul的畅谈视频来了解这名制作人的一些音乐理念。先戳视频，视频下面我们也附了高营养的采访原文。 Recording Studios, Design, Acoustics, Silvia Campos Ulloa, Joshua Morris, Gabriel Hauser, Walters-Stroyk Design Group 我们是Sound On Sound，现在在Church录音室，与PaulEpworth先生一起。你怎么样？ 挺好的。谢谢你。你怎样？ 挺好的。所以Paul，你已经有了很多荣誉。你有1个全英音乐奖，5个格莱美奖，1个奥斯卡。你最近的成就是这个地方，这个教堂。所以你可不可以告诉我们一些关于这个地方的历史。你是怎样接触到这个地方的？ 好吧。一开始我想要寻找一个录音室。结果并不像我一开始想象的顺利。我看过很多地方。试着找一个能在夜间做音乐的地方。然后我接到一个来自David Gray的电话，他说想要出售这个地方。一开始我觉得肯定没法成功。一直到几个月后我才渐渐有一个成熟的想法。所以我问他，你还在找人转让它吗？然后他说他打算出售它。然后我说，表酱！我觉得应该能有个解决方案的。然后我们终于做成了，去年5月的时候。最终是在10月的时候正式拿到了它。然后1月的时候搬了进来。然后大致翻修了一下。 透露一下你们怎样翻修的。你对这个地方做了什么。因为这个房间看上去并没有做太大改动。 没有。我们在混响室放了一张大控制台。控制室放不下它。混音室在楼下，1986年建造的。后面有一个小的录音室。那边原来是个休息室，有人把它改造成了这样。这就是为什么我们想把这里和楼下两个房间变得有商业用途。在声学测试的时候我们发现了一件事情，楼上的这间房并没有像楼下那两间那么被常用。 这是1号录音室？ 这是1号录音室。楼下的是2号。显然，在两个录音室之间的隔断并不应该那么复杂，根据我们想要放在楼下的麦克风来说。所以一切都要从头开始。也就是让“监狱”重见天日。而且要用140个可回收的分隔膜来打造。那是9个月的工作量。 我觉得这现在是个令人叹为观止的房间。 [...]

By David Weiss It’s not easy to construct a creative sanctuary in Brooklyn. In fact, it can be downright torturous. Post starts with a different focus at Blue Table. But Oliver Lief, founder of Blue Table Post in the borough’s bucolic Boerum Hill neighborhood, is living proof of any number of inspirational clichés: [...]
