zero art studio final floor plan

Well, I think this is the final floor plan that will be built starting around the first of the year. I’m still waiting on a few quotes for different parts of the construction, but I have a decent idea of what it will all cost. As you can see, I’ve changed the layout of the staircase and substituted a spiral staircase for the wide staircase at the rear of the control room. This provides 4 extra feet of space directly behind the console. You can see the previous design here.

The new (final) design:

zero art studio – new design…

i believe amy and i are really close to being able to start working on the new studio. i’ve gone through tons of iterations of the studio design and i’m ready to add another. this one has a loft space that would contain the control room, which would look out over the live room. a lounge/apartment would be downstairs below the control room/loft. what do you think?

summer coming to an end…

well, a whole summer has passed since my last post. we’ve been incredibly busy building a new house on 5 acres east of Nashville. we are really excited and can’t wait to get our things moved in. it looks like we will be able to move in the second week of november. i will also be starting on the new studio as soon as we get moved in. the slab floor is poured, the exterior walls are studded, the plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom are already roughed in and i should be ordering the trusses by the end of november. the studio build-out will be a drawn out effort as it will be built with quality and when money is available to put forth. in the meantime i will setup the console/gear in the new 2 car garage and finish my record starting in december.

i’ll also be starting a record with Jason Melcher this winter. various friends will be playing on the record. look for that next year.

the sequoia album we recorded at zero art studio is done and you can buy one from the band.

cubs – playoffs…who would of thought. 3 and out i would venture to guess…

records and baseball…

it’s a good time of the year. the snow is beginning to go away, the hard-headed easter lily is coming up and blooming and baseball is less than a month away. things are incredibly busy here as of late. i just finished tracking basics for the new sequoia album here at Zero Art Studio and spirits are high there. i’ve also found a little bit of time to work on Semiotics, which is taking much longer to do because I keep adding more and more projects to the plate.

Mock Orange was recently here at Zero Art Studio mixing their upcoming album, which is still untitled at this point I believe. it sounds good, trust me.

i also have recently completed a live Zero Art Radio session with Patrick Krief from The Dears. Patrick has just released a solo album that is really incredible. you will be able to hear the session on Zero Art Radio in the near future. there is also a podcast in the works surrounding the session.

that’s it for now.

rough carpentry…

this past weekend i managed to build an old style slat bed/couch for the studio, using chisels and all. the utilitarian lounging device, as i like to call it, will also act as a nice bass trap for the back of the studio directly behind the listening position of the console. it’s also big enough for someone to sleep on in case they stay over while recording. i’ll have pictures up at some point, but i still have to get cushions made for the backrest. amy is going to make them instead of me buying some half-assed cushion that i won’t like anyway. so yeah, a couch/bed.

still working away on my album and jordan’s as well when we find time.
