The first things you notice upon entering Long Pond Studio are the glass windows and doors.
They’re huge — the doors are eight-feet square — and frame pastoral scenes of grass, trees and water.
But in this setting — a recording studio in the countryside near Hudson, N.Y. — they’re startling.
That’s because recording studios more typically resemble gambling dens; they are dark, airless spaces where light and a view to the outside world would distract from the high-stakes act of music making.
Large glass surfaces are also a no-no, because they refract sound waves and possibly allow outdoor noise to leak in.
