Everybody please give a warm welcome to @ben._tate, the newest addition to our studio team. Ben joins us on placement from LIPA’s Sound Tech course and has been settling in over the past couple of months.

If you’re lucky enough to be on session with Ben, expect a warm studio welcome, fabulous positive energy, and consistently terrible jokes.

Swipe to hear Ben put on the spot as @bobmackenzie_ asks him some quick fire questions.

Join us behind the scenes of the Real World Producer Camp Vol. 4 🎧

1️⃣ Meet our Producer Camp participants. In just three days, they produced, recorded and mixed original music at Real World Studios.

2️⃣ Next, a first glance at the album cover.

3️⃣ Our very own Peter Gabriel (@itspetergabriel ) alongside the Real World Studios crew.

We've teamed up with @earthpercent , an impactful charity launched by @brianeno. We'll donate 1% of the royalties from this release to contribute to their fight against the climate crisis. 🌍

Shout-out to @limbomusic and @ferisella for their support in digital distribution throughout the project.

Stay tuned; the album drops on June 30th.

It's a beautiful evening at Real World Studios, but there's a suggestion that it would be even better if that was a flamingo on the pond.

“That buzzing-noise means something.You don’t get a buzzing-noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing, without its meaning something.If there’s a buzzing-noise, somebody’s making a buzzing noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you’re a bee.” A. A. Milne’s Winnie The Pooh

Either the bees are back or there is an experimental noise band in the studio. Either way the sun is shining at Real World Studios
