Peter Gabriel’s birthday gives us the perfect opportunity to post our team photograph.

We had the unusual opportunity to gather in The Big Room and get a photograph of Peter and many of the core Real World Studios team at the end of last year.

Peter said of Real World that it’s a “…a dream studio for me. The kind of environment that I’d always wanted”. We’re so happy to be part of that dream and work in the amazing environment he created - happy birthday Peter!

A shot from the @itspetergabriel i/o session in The Big Room, September 2021.

Today, on the first full moon of 2023, Peter releases the first new song from his forthcoming album i/o. Written and produced by Peter, Panopticom was recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire and The Beehive in London.

Panopticom references an idea that Peter has been working on to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe. The aim is to "allow the world to see itself better and understand more of what’s really going on”.
