William Goode’s Journal – Thomas Dolby-Two
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.
Thomas Dolby and the Nutmeg - thank you BBC Suffolk for the picture.
Another shot of Thomas Dolby and his Nutmeg. Thanks again to BBC Suffolk for the picture.

Footage of Thomas Dolbys studio.
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.

William Goode’s Journal – Karlheinz Stockhausen
Karlheinz Stockhausen who died in 2007 was one of the most (in my opinion) important composers of the 20th century. His work with composition and electronic music is legendary and for this weeks recording studio of the week I have put together quite a few images of him at work.
These photos I consider truly classic and anyone who appreciates electronics will gaze with envy at the equipment on show here, enjoy this little collection. Thank you to the various contributors of these photos.

William Goode’s Journal – Hans Zimmer
Hans Zimmer in his studio
Another Hans Zimmer studio shot-nice gear
Hans Zimmer is a German film composer. Films he has written music for include “The Lion King”, “The Dark Night” and “Gladiator” a few out of the 100 or so he has been involved with.
He specialises in mixing traditional orchestral pieces with electronic music.
These look to me like older photos, always fascinating to see just what the famous and successful use, and they use a lot. Now that doesn’t take anything away from the small home studio it is after all the art itself that counts.
