Our main creative hub for Sons of Korah since 2011 has been our studio space “The Dirtroom”. We had been recording in various different spaces over earlier years (most notably recording multiple albums with Sons Of Korah alum Richard Beechey at Beechfront Media) including a lot of home-based setups with the wonderful added ambience of trucks driving past and kids screaming in the background!
Building the studio was a joint project between Sons of Korah and our home church OneHope Baptist. The church supplied the space, materials and a lot of extra volunteer labour and Sons of Korah supplied all the technical equipment and instruments. We finished just in time to finish recording our 2011 album “Wait”, with the smell of paint still fresh in the air.
You can see in the photos both the framework for the control room and the booth (the soundproof room where most of the recording takes place), as well as a few of our church friends helping out with the painting.
