John Storyk - Right out of Princeton - to Design New Yorkʼs Electric Lady Studios WSDG Plus - February 2015 - Studios for Superstars View this email in your browser STUDIOS FOR SUPERSTARS In 1969 Jimi Hendrix hired Architect/Acoustician John Storyk - right out of Princeton - to design New Yorkʼs Electric Lady Studios. ELS remains an enduring font of Gold & Platinum. Credits run the gamut from The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin and Stevie Wonder to… 45+ years on --- Arcade Fire, Beck, Daft Punk, and U2. And, just as ELS remains a Mecca to mega-artists, John, his wife and co-founder Beth Walters and the WSDG team continue to remain busy creating studios for todayʼs recording luminaries. Acoustics To Inspire Creativity Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Goo Goo Dolls, Producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Cold Play, Lorde, McCartney), Platinum artist Adam Young, Argentine legend Fito Páez, and Brazilian top singer Ivete Sangalo all have custom WSDG studios. And, while not owned by a superstar, Jungle City, NYʼs ultimate destination studio, leaped from the pages of Vanity Fair to attract such Platinum icons as Beyonce, Kanye West, FUN and Usher. What does it take to design a studio for these idiosyncratic celebrities? “Every major artist Iʼve worked with has an absolute passion for perfection,” Storyk says, “as do emerging new artists. A personal studio is the ultimate instrument for their creativity.” WSDGʼs (recent) greatest design hits include: Roc The Mic - Jay Z New York, USA A 4500 sq. foot, full-floor complex in the heart of NYʼs “hip-hopping” West Side, Jay-Z & Juan Perezʼs Roc the Mic Studio features spacious twin control rooms and, a high- end Pro Tools production suite. Each room is geared to set benchmarks in power and accuracy thanks to custom WSDG/Augspurger monitoring systems. A study in luxury and comfort, RTM is centered on a massive communal lounge, and flanked by private client areas ensconced in dark wood for an environment that reflects Jay-Zʼs penchant for elegance. RTM is the ultimate environment for extraordinary creative talent. The Church Studios – Paul Epworth London, UK Original plans called for a substantial upgrade to the monitoring system, and a brand new writing room. However, the demolition revealed that isolation between the rooms of this 200-year-old church was nonexistent. Previous owners, recording stars Dave Stewart (1984), and David Gray (2004), used the studios primarily for personal projects. Sound leakage between rooms had never been an issue. Though blessed with pristine acoustics thanks to its liturgical origins, the studio required a total renovation to allow new owner, Paul Epworth (2014), to host multiple client sessions. From a custom LED mood lighting system that provides an infinite creativity enhancing color palate, to a proprietary monitor/speaker configuration The Church Studios is incomparable. Owl City Studios – Adam Young Minnesota, USA Progressing rapidly from nascent electronic music experiments in his parentsʼ basement, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Adam Young evolved from initial iTunes sales to a major record deal and Fireflies, a six-time platinum single, from his Ocean Eyes debut album. To support his creativity Young recently moved to a handsome log cabin deep in the Minnesota woods, where WSDG has built his dream studio. Owl Cityʼs spacious (675 sq. ft.) control room was constructed with natural wood to compliment the cabinsʼ interior and exterior setting. Outfitted with a custom rolling producerʼs desk, four mobile equipment racks to facilitate room reconfiguration, and an innovative, poly-cylindrical ceiling cloud to fine-tune the mixing position, is geared for widely diverse sessions. Circo Beat Studios - Fito Páez Buenos Aires, Argentina One of Argentinaʼs most enduring superstars, Fito Páez, named his personal recording studio after one of his most successful albums. The fiery red and softer, rose-colored control room is distinguished by its concave surfaces. Páez considers color an important creative influence, and also selected the yellow hues used in Circo Beatʼs live room. Shades of yellow provide a particularly relaxed and comfortable environment for his recording. They are contrasted by the control roomʼs exciting reds, and energize the mixing process. The live room also employs variable acoustics to accommodate Fitoʼs musical styles which range from rock ʻnʼ roll to classical. GCR Studios - Goo Goo Dolls Buffalo, USA In 1984, WSDG designed TrackMasters, in Buffalo. The studio built a solid rep as one of upstate NYʼs best-sounding and most artist-friendly facilities. In 1986 three studio engineers, John Rzeznik, George Tutuska and Robby Takac formed Goo Goo Dolls, and went on to sell “lots” of records. In 2009, the group bought the studio, renamed it ʻThe Inner Machineʼ and brought WSDG back for a redesign and upgrade. The studio is housed in the 1100 sq. ft. 2nd floor of a 150+ year-old former Convent. Itʼs an interesting building, with a distinctive sound. WSDG stripped away the original finishes and treatments and replaced them with a completely new acoustic package with extensive perforated wood surface treatments. Additionally, a new 50 sq. ft. vocal booth was created adjacent to the control room. Artists really take advantage of booths when they get the chance. Everyone was extremely happy with the new look and feel. Jota Quest Studios Belo Horizonte, Brazil One of Brazilʼs most successful pop rock bands, Jota Quest has topped the Brazilian charts for over 20 years and, maintains a huge following throughout South America. Having outgrown the small local studio they had previously used, they reached out to WSDG to create a cool, spacious, perfectly tuned private studio ideally suited to their musical style and personal aesthetics. The 2150 sq. ft. facility features a 753 sq. ft. live room, a 322 sq. ft. Control Room with a handsome parabolic-shaped ceiling cloud, and a smaller 140 sq. ft. stereo CR with a spacious iso Booth. An outdoor lounge features an area for between-session meal breaks and project completion celebrations. Jungle City Studios New York, USA The epitome of hip elegance, the $6 million+ Jungle City re-calibrated the benchmark for destination studio design. Crowning a new luxury building on NYʼs High Line, Jungle morphed 4800 sq. ft. of raw space into a showplace duplex with soaring ceilings, a 370 sq. ft. terrace, and a huge rooftop deck. To maximize the studiosʼ expansive views, the custom WSDG/Augspurger Dual 15 Vertical main speakers were ʻfloatedʼ in an outsized glass speaker baffle, to create a transparent “soundproof wall” between the live and control rooms. This innovative design provides artists and engineers with full visual connectivity plus, eye candy views of The Empire State Building and the Hudson River.

  • Architecture and Acoustics of Recording Studios Analysis to Prediction to Realization
    Distinguished Guest Lecture Thursday, April 30 School of Architecture Greene Gallery Department of Architectural Acoustics Architecture and Acoustics of Recording Studios Analysis to Prediction to Realization presented by John Storyk, R.A., AES, Principal Walters-Storyk Design Group The recording studio has changed dramatically in the past 10 years in ways that were almost unpredictable. Both the business models and the studio design/equipment configurations are markedly different, with changes continuing virtually every week. The shift from large ‘all at once’ sessions to a file-based mixing process has ushered in a new era of small, yet extremely powerful and highly flexible audio content creation environments. These ‘next generation’ rooms continue to depend on pristine acoustics, and the aesthetic and comfort factors remain high priorities. Studios will always want to provide the ultimate critical listening conditions and standards. Digital recording and mixing technology have changed, but the skills of recording, mixing and mastering engineers will continue to drive the creative process. These rooms will continue to depend on the architect/acoustician’s ability to create or ‘tune’ the environment to maximize its acoustic potential. Jungle City Studios, New York, NY Diante de trono, Brazil Berklee College of Music opened the doors to its 160 Massachusetts Avenue residence tower in January 2014. The ten-studio Walters-Storyk Design Group designed audio education component represents a pinnacle of contemporary studio planning. Paul Epworth, The Church, London John Storyk, Co Founder and Principal of Walters-Storyk Design Group has been responsible for designing over 3000 media and content creation facilities worldwide. Credits include Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studios (1969); NYC’s Jazz At Lincoln Center and Le Poisson Rouge; broadcast facilities for The Food Network, ESPN, and WNET; major education complexes for NYU and Berklee College of Music, Boston (2015 TEC winner) and Valencia, Spain; and media rooms for such corporate clients as Hoffman La Roche.

  • Designing for the Ears As Well As for the Eyes
    Inspicio architecture 26 Sushi & Tapas restaurant, Surfside, Florida, 2015. Photo: WSDG Designing for the Ears as Well as for the Eyes By Howard Sherman orris J. Kaplan is a very hands-on businessman. A successful real estate developer and innovative res- M taurateur/entrepreneur, his career track is marked by imaginative ventures. Last year, Kaplan and his wife Sandra began laying the groundwork for a new Miami-area restaurant. A longtime fan of master chef Fernando Chang’s culinary tal- ents, Kaplan was confident there would be a strong demand for Chef Chang’s specialty—Kosher sushi and Peruvian dishes. Kaplan invested considerable time collaborating on the bill of fare and the interior design of his new restaurant. In addition to the menu, one of his primary concerns was acoustics. An avid “foodie,” Kaplan had long avoided dining in restaurants with noise levels so high they intruded on his guests’ ability to enjoy a simple conversation along with their meal. Kaplan made a promise to himself. Diners at his new restaurant would be able to discuss their food (and other topics) without having to shout at the top of their lungs. Coincidentally, as he formulated his plans for what was to be- come “26 Sushi & Tapas” in Surfside, Florida, Kaplan was also involved in building two new Miami area synagogues. During the course of a series of visits to those construction sites, he became aware of an unusually quiet ambience. Building sites are typically noisy environments and neither of these work sites would ever be mistaken for a library, but Kaplan discovered a sound clarity that was unusual enough to spark an investiga- tion.
