Building Apollo Studio (Part 1)

I announced before that I was preparing a big project. This project will be the construction of a dedicated brand new Synth.nl studio under the ground in the garden of our house with also a multimedia/cinema room next to it. In this cinema we can watch movies with the family but I can also do presentations of my future projects and use it for recording purpouses. The new studio will be called the 'Apollo' studio. It is named after the Apollo missions that NASA did to the moon in 1969. In that year I was born and Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon so I always felt connected to that event. I'm also working on a musical project about that event planned for next year, because of my 40th birthday.

We have been preparing this studio project the last 2 years actually. It was very difficult to get permission from our local goverment. (Don't you just love those regulators). But finally we have permission and we already hired a contractor that will start construction in August. It is supposed to be finished in November, but then it is not finished by far. We will do a lot of work our selves after that. Starting with painting, floors, electrical work, cabling, acoustic threatment, furniture etc. So before it is completely done it will be 2009 for sure. I will update progress on this project on this blog off course. Well.... Wish me luck :) We will need it!

That's a cool idea. A bit odd to name it Apollo, though, as it is underground rather than high up ;)

Haha I didn't look at it that way. But it will end up looking like NASA ground control :)
