HOWA EP 120 - JIM KELLER - hanging out with audiophiles

I met Jim thanks to the wonderful master of mastering Heba Kadry who's based in New York (whi btw that just finished mastering my new LP!)

She used him to assist in the making of her room and that set me on a journey to get my place into shape too. Him and his team at Sondhus did an excellent job and I've been loving my light and airy attic so much!

I've talked about my space a little on the show and I've shared a few pics and videos from the spot so there's evidence of it out there.

I look forward to being in here every day.

Jim's story is really interesting and it's an angle that's not been covered thus far on the pod.

He has knowledge and passion on all manner of issues relating to studio spaces, from the flow to the sound and the minimal aesthetic that is a through line in his work.

He's made rooms for Martin Gore, Laurie Anderson, Heba Kadry, Philip Weinrobe, the Juliard School in New York to name but a few.

Wild !

In this show I demonstrate the sound of my rooms and why using a binaural head for interviews and voice over is a terrible idea :) ha
