STUDIOS Sala Giardino - CREMA (CR) The structure has been created in a historic farmhouse datjng back to the end of 1600, among the most prestjgious and best preserved in the area, located in the immediate vicinity of the city of Crema. It is a typical example of a Lombard farmhouse with a closed courtyard, formed by an eighteenth century manor house, and by adjacent rustjc buildings. The entjre building has been the subject of careful historical philological restoratjon with preservatjon of all the original featu- res, recovery of old terracotua fmoors, restoratjon of vaulted and wooden ceilings, reconstructjon faithful to the original of the most worn parts using traditjonal materials (bricks) full, natural wood, hydraulic lime for plasters, without adding cement). The recording room, the control room and the annexed service rooms are located in the western part of the complex, exploi- tjng the spaces of the ancient "barchessa" originally used as barns and warehouses. The main hall has an irregular rectangular shape, with protruding pillars and niches. Important works have been carried out to obtain an excellent sound insulatjon from external noise. The effjciency of soundproofjng makes it possible to record in full day instruments such as guitar, lute and harpsichord. The original wall structure was completed with the additjon of a completely independent internal counter - walling and the for- matjon of an interspace with interposed rock wool panel (thickness 10 cm). The internal walls are fjnished with plaster based on natural hydraulic lime and painted with lime paint. The fmooring was made with the use of old salvaged bricks, treated, not polished. The heatjng system is on the fmoor, completely silent. These constructjve characteristjcs and the use of traditjonal materials as regards fmoors, plaster and roofjng, favor a slightly re- verberatjng natural acoustjc response. The gabled roof is made of wood (fjr) with round beams and 4 supportjng trusses, lined with fjr boards. The cover sectjon has various layers (for improved thermal and acoustjc insulatjon, as shown in Annex 2): plasterboard (25mm), rock wool (100mm), plasterboard (25mm), rock wool (50mm), polystyrene (80mm), mantle in old tjles. The control room has the same constructjon features as the recording room (counter - walls, fmat wood ceiling with beams, terra- cotua fmoor, underfmoor heatjng). An audio and video connectjon (with internal video camera) has been made between the recording room and the control room. Various connectjon and control room connectjng ducts have been prepared for the passage of microphone cables. The recording room has a height at the sides of m. 4.20 and in the middle of m. 6.20, a length of 17.20 m, a width of 8.79 m at one end and m 7 at the other end. The natural acoustjcs are slightly reverberatjng, modifjable with the use of mobile panels mounted on wheels (vintage doors, covered on one side, with a sound - absorbent cloth, the other side in antjque wood panels). INSTRUMENTS : In the recording studio there is: - a 2 - keyboard organ and a 27 - note pedal board. The instrument, built with phonic material of an ancient organ, has the second keyboard (Grand'organo) of 2 main 8, fjlled with separate rows up to XXIX, Flute in XII, Flute in XV Soprani, Cornetuo Soprani, Viola Bassi, Voce Human, Bassoon Bass, Sopranos Trumpets, Octave Flute, Bass Borbone 8, Soprani Bordone 8; at the fjrst keyboard (Positjve) bordone 8, Flute 4, XV, Cello 8; Pedal Contrabasso 16, Basso 8 and trombones 8. Unequal temperament. Chorus: 442 Hz - Flemish harpsichord inspired by J.Ruckers - spinet The recording studio is located on the ground fmoor, with direct access from the courtyard, so it is partjcularly easy to place in- struments such as grand pianos and harpsichords.
