Timber Room Gallery

The Timber Room was built from salvaged Australian Riverina redgum railway sleepers with rotating panels and two textured surfaces that can be adjusted to alter the reflective audio character of the space. The timber room also features trimmed log walls and 160 year old wooden floorboards, utilising its variable palette of wooden surfaces to create a deep warmth and immense sonic versatility. Whilst it has been primarily used as the main drum tracking space, the timber room is also suitable for a range of other instrumental configurations.
