In 2002 Bird moved from his apartment on the North Side of Chicago to a farm in rural Illinois, near the town of Elizabeth. There, not far from where his parents made their home, he set up his studio in a converted barn, spending the majority of his time letting inspiration come to him from his surroundings. He farmed crops such as soybeans and corn, and raised chickens and cows. His daily routine during this time consisted of getting up in the morning, gathering eggs for his breakfast, and then letting ideas for musical compositions slowly grow like the crops all around him, until they took strong enough hold in his mind for him to commit them to recordings.

Andrew Bird's barn looks legit from the outside, but the inside looks like a typical home studio, so what's the point? I just listened to one of the tracks he recorded there, and I wasn't able to "smell the hay", if you catch my drift.
― ☉.☉☂ (unregistered), Saturday, 8 June 2013 00:42 (thirteen years ago)
I'm not ever gonna listen to anything by a dude called "Andrew Bird", but those floorboards look mighty uneven, if you take my meaning.
― Catsuppppppppppppperface (how's life), Saturday, 8 June 2013 01:54 (thirteen years ago)
yeah, that's a real floor, I'll give him that.
one of the members of Andrew Bird's band is called Martin Luther King Chavez Dosh (his indietronic side project is just called "Dosh"). I wonder if they bonded over their shitty names.

God, that must have been a dream though. I can't google anything up about it.
― how's life, Sunday, 9 June 2013 10:03 (thirteen years ago)
barns are ideal studios because they're huge open spaces with high ceilings, they're far away from other neighbors, and it's presumably cheaper to be out of the city. you're not supposed to "smell the hay" ffs.
― wk, Sunday, 9 June 2013 16:58 (thirteen years ago)
Between the embargo on old-tymey locations such as barns and converted churches, and inflections of wantrepreneurship in bobo locations such as bedrooms and dorms, you're not leaving a lot of places for people to get their recordings done.
