I love articles like this. I especially like the ones like St. Cathrine's Court and Laurel Canyon Mansion - haunted locales and the like. That would be great to be laying down a track on location when you realize you also tracked some backing vocals from 800 years ago  Thanks for posting!

I had a friend who played me a cassette recording he and some friends made in the underground tunnel rooms above the Marin Headlands. (South side of the Golden Gate Bridge) There was a military installation up there that was ready to go in WW II and fortunately never had to be utilized. In any case, he said you could get in there up until the mid eighties . Ancient computer equipment remnants were in there too. They’d bring up percussion and acoustic guitars and do long droning vocals with the crazy reverb. He said towards his last visit up there they found mutilated cats, satanic pentagrams and that sort of thing. It was sealed soon afterwards.

Hey. Whatever happened to the silophone, or whetever it was called? You could upload audio files to a speaker in an old grain silo and then they'd spit back the audio from the space. Crazy tails on that!
Edit: It's back (for pc only at the moment) at silophone.net! |

| Ah, the silophone is a shadow of its former self. Levels are low and there's lots of background noise. You used to be able to really make the space resonate and ring. |

Kayagum might appreciate this more than most. I rented this spot for a few days to record an EP for a great Minneapolis band The Butcher's Bag.

Their sound was somewhere between Man Man and Tom Waits. It seemed to be a perfect fit. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. It had a wonderful natural reverb. |
