Things We Discussed
One of the things discussed here was the recording studio called The Tank.
It is a unique musical venue located in Rangely, Colorado, in the United States. It is a large, acoustically resonant water tank that has been converted into a performance space for music and sound art. The Tank was originally built in 1940 as part of the Rangely Oil Field and was used as a storage tank for oil and water. In 1976, it was decommissioned and eventually abandoned, until it was rediscovered by sound artist Bruce Odland in 1979. Since then, The Tank has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind musical space with extraordinary natural reverberation, making it an acoustic marvel and an experimental venue for musicians and sound artists.
