Lessons from Electric Lady Studios. Architecture and Acoustics of Recording Studios. Analysis to Prediction to Realization.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY
14:00 to 17:00
WSDG is proud to announce that Founding Partner John Storyk will present a lecture on the “Architecture and Acoustics of Recording Studios.” The presentation will delve into the evolution of studio design, from traditional, large-scale facilities to today’s more powerful and flexible audio content creation environments.
Storyk, an architect and acoustician with a company portfolio of over 4,500 completed projects worldwide, will draw on his extensive experience, which began with his design of Jimi Hendrix’s iconic Electric Lady Studios in 1969. The lecture will explore the ongoing changes in business models and studio configurations, emphasizing that despite technological advancements, the need for pristine acoustics remains paramount. Storyk will highlight how these “next generation” rooms still rely on the ability of the architect and acoustician to “tune” the environment to maximize its acoustic potential.
The presentation is particularly relevant to students and professionals in fields such as architecture, engineering, and the arts, as it showcases WSDG’s expertise in designing spaces for diverse applications. Storyk’s work spans numerous verticals, from broadcast facilities and educational complexes to private studios for world-renowned artists and producers. Attendees will gain insights into the critical role of acoustic design in creating effective and emotionally resonant listening environments.

LEaT con 2025
Hamburg Messe, Germany
Dirk Noy, Partner & General Manager Europe, WSDG
Space, Sound, Emotion – Acoustics as a Defining Design Element
AV Stage, Hall 4
12:45
Adequate room acoustics are essential for creating emotional experiences with speech and sound. They serve a dual purpose: in the recording studio, they provide the foundation for the creative shaping of the soundscape – precise, controllable, and accurate. In playback spaces, such as concert halls, cinemas, museums, or immersive installations, they ensure that the high-quality sound environment can fully convey its emotional impact to the audience.
In this presentation, Noy will examine these two key areas of acoustic application: the challenges of room acoustics in audio production, and the electroacoustic and architectural strategies that support impactful audio reproduction.
Whether you are an audio technician, producer, sound designer, or planner, this session offers detailed and up-to-date insights into the theory and practice of modern room and electroacoustics.
Room Acoustics and Electroacoustics – Immersive Audio Experiences for Modern Installations
Speakers Corner, Hall 1 (A1–B15)
15:00
In contemporary audio and multimedia installations, room and electroacoustics are vital to delivering a high-quality auditory experience. Noy will outline the fundamental principles of room acoustics and how they affect the natural distribution of sound within a space. He will also explore how electroacoustic systems and immersive audio technologies can be strategically employed to create powerful, enveloping, and emotionally resonant soundscapes.
This session will inspire planners and end users alike to expand their technical knowledge and explore new, practical approaches to acoustic design.
