Issue 46

The DIY Revolution



In this month’s issue of Electronic Sound we’re talking revolution, the DIY revolution. Pinpointing the precise moment when recording music headed into the bedroom (clue: it was the appearance of the portastudio in the late 1970s), we talk pioneering spirit with the trailblazing Thomas Leer. Join us as he recalls his adventures in home recording alongside his old pal Robert Rental, and learn how the ability to release music into the wild suddenly ended up in the hands of everyone.



We recommend a raft of essential DIY revolution listening and, following a call to arms to our readers, we also make our way through the mouth-watering kit list of the discerning bedroom producer. The synths! The effect units! The cassette tapes! We’ve got the authentic DIY revolution shopping list sown up.
