First off, I have re-vamped my music website. Please have a look when you have some time - www.ericeckhart.com.
While my producer Fabien Leseure meticulously worked on mixing the song called "Big Lie" on Sunday, I walked around the studio and its grounds with my MacBook filming the surroundings with the built-in iSight camera.
The studio is part of the Funkhaus which used to be the main radio station for communist East Germany. It is located in old East Berlin along the river Spree. Built in the 1950's, it has amazing sounding rooms, untouched from that era, but the outside is quite run down and edgy.
Using the video I shot and photos from Dave Hingerty and Kusi, I put together this video to give you a sense of the flavor of the place where my new album, This is where it starts, was made.
I fully enjoyed my time recording and mixing here. The place is choke full of history and has a strong personality that comes through its peeling paint and beautifully crafted wood panels.
Lastly, I wanted to preview some of the songs on the new album. First up in the video is "Happy", then "I Saw A Light", followed by "Lost", "Open Up", "I'm Gone" and finally "From Whence I Came".
Here it is:
