Throughout July 2018, I’ll be moving WombatStudio.Org from Philadelphia, PA to Gibbsboro, NJ.
The NE Philadelphia Mayfair basement re-model that I started August 2017 didn’t go as planned due to many little things that amounted into nothing getting done the way I wanted.
April 21, 2018, sitting on Reggie Wu’s couch while my son Frank was completing his guitar lesson, I was skimming Facebook and I saw an ad for “musician’s dream house for sale” and the rest is history.
We settle Friday, June 29, 2018.
The house has a soundproofed studio built into the basement already. It includes a control room, a live room, a guitar iso room and a lounge. The 3 windowed control room looks out into 1. the drummer’s area, 2. the main live room and 3. where the guitar amps go. There are gobos that can shape the room differently if needed.
Parking! I find it hard to find a spot close to my own row home anymore. The new place has ample parking and I will always have a spot to park as well as those making music.
Woods, isolation from neighbors, there’s even a fireplace! I can’t wait.
But, for those that were happy with the convenience, there’s no longer a toilet in the main room.
