Before the availability of the tape recorder and during the 1950s, when vinyl was scarce,ingenious Russians began recording banned bootlegged jazz, boogie woogie and rock ‘n’ roll on exposed X-ray film salvaged from hospital waste bins and archives…    "They would cut the X-ray into a crude circle with manicure scissors and use a cigarette to burn a hole," says author Anya von Bremzen. "You’d have Elvis on the lungs, Duke Ellington on Aunt Masha’s brain scan — forbidden Western music captured on the interiors of Soviet citizens."

Currently half way through building patch-bays for the studio, the amount of cable is both frightening and beautiful.

Broadoak Studios producer, Harvey Summers has been busy working with game developers RedBedlam, creating all the sounds for their upcoming game “Bedlam” based on the novel of the same name by author Christopher Brookmyre. Its pretty fun coming up with original sound effects, and even recording the foley gets interesting.

Here’s James from Broadoak Studios re-creating the sounds of walking through grass and tall brush, all serious business this!
