Papa's Super Simple Mini Recording Studio At Home

This is Papa's latest venture.  He already has a singer-songwriter (Kimie Kamarul) attached with him.  While recording his songs, we realised that the place was soooo not suitable and viable for recording because it was crowded with so many unimportant knick-knacks.  That's when we decided to invest a little bit with what little money we have left.

First the task of finding the right contractor - price-wise and what they could offer. In the end we did find a young man just starting his company. Well, he did come with his ups and downs.  A one or two day's job became an almost 2 weeks affair.


This was during their 2nd or 3rd recording.

Aduka - guitarist


Chaotic right?


Chaos on this side too!


And chaos in the middle.  Vain!


So we started clearing things up a little bit.


Phew!


Another phew! on this side.


It's just a small space on the second floor of our house.


I wasn't home when they started renovating.  When I got home that day, this greeted me.


And a hallway of some sort was formed.  I like it!
Papa painted the wall because it's not included in the package.  So he mixed a few paint colours available in the house and got this awesome colour.

The view on the inside with yellow lighting.


We used whatever curtains we have and Papa went out to but a few extra pieces of ready-made curtains because I don't have a sewing machine to make new ones for him.


And these were our first visitors - Aunty Khorsiah and her family who came all the way from KL on Sunday.


Mesti berlakon jugak!

Another surround shot.


Some pillows for chillaxing.


And so that's how we came about to have a mini recording studio at our house.  The other chaotic stuff are now packed in whatever rooms we have and will have to wait their turn to be cleared away neatly because I'm tired.  

My holiday starts on 30 April and will start thinking of ways and all the nooks and crannies to store all the other stuff away.  I'm seeing new decorations already!  Super excited!
