Jack Antonoff unveils plans to build public recording studios in queer youth shelters
Jack Antonoff has revealed plans to launch a series of public recording studios, giving access to those who are of lower incomes and unable to have access to these spaces.
In a statement posted yesterday evening, Antonoff explained that he loves recording in intimate spaces such as his home, or in hotel rooms. With today's technology, you're able to create high quality recordings in a more accessible way. Despite this, he says: "the studio is different"... "Knowing you are in a space for a limited amount of time, and pushing yourself to the edge, is vital. A studio is a rare space, and you function different because of it."
"I plano spend a large part of the next chapter of my life bringing these spaces to people who wouldn’t have access to them, public studios available to those who are priced out. It’s going to take time and a lot of resources but over here we have a plan that starts with working through [Antonoff’s charity] the Ally Coalition to build studios in LGBTQ+ youth shelters," he continued.
"From there, we will have a network of engineers that we will fund who will train people at these sites. Our plan is to build these spaces, pay for maintenance and engineering, and let the centers give out the time slots for people to use them. From there, we can start to expand into cities once we have it happening.”
