Hi folks I felt that one of my earlier “recording studio’s of the week” Thomas Dolbys, didn’t have enough pictures to get accross the interesting aspects of this unique little studio . So now I’m about to remedy this.
His studio if you read my earlier blog is built in an old boat , a converted 1930′s lifeboat that used to be named the SS Queen Ann.
For his recordings apparently Thomas uses a Millenia STT-1 channel strip and a PreSonus FireStudio rack-mounted, very good… (info thanks to Thomas Dolbys blog).
I’ve added many more pictures and video footage. It really is a great little studio and one that once again I envy.

This is a trailer for the online alternative reality game ‘A Map of the Floating City’ which is also the name of Thomas Dolby’s last album in 2011.
There, I hope that has given you a better appreciation of Thomas Dolby’s fab little studio. Long may he sail in her. Thanks once again to BBC Suffolk for a couple of these pictures and others variously obtained including from this site “Synthgear”. Much appreciated.
