Radiophonic Recording At Eve Studios

It's more than 20 years since the BBC closed their legendary Radiophonic Workshop, but its spirit lives on in the Radiophonic Room at Manchester's Eve Studios.

Eve Studios near Manchester, UK, is home to an incredible working collection of original BBC equipment — and the same fearless approach to musical experiment.

We join studio owner Martin King and singer-songwriter Studio Electrophonique for a unique recording experience involving one-inch tape, BBC valve preamps, an ancient Roland drum machine and a cooked breakfast...
