Artefact

Photograph
Strawberry Recording Studios
2010

A photo of Strawberry's 1970s red Helios desk, designed by Eric Stewart and Dick Swettenham, which has now been completely restored as part of the amazing Audities collection of recording equipment and musical instruments (see www.audities.org for further information). David Kean of Audities says that the restoration work took three years and over $150,000 to complete. In August 2010 he said "the desk has already been used for 5 CD projects and it just sounds incredible. We installed a Tonelux Automation system in it that allows us to use it as a HUI in ProTools and Logic Audio or with our Stephens tape machines. Simply wonderful!"

“I've noticed scaffolding going up the front of Strawberry Studios all week, does anybody know what's happening to it?”

“The owners of the building (which, of course, is now office space) are carrying out some repairs to the roof and front of the building and then giving it another lick of paint. They are very aware of the building's history and importance, hence their decision to resurrect the Strawberry name a few years ago.”
