So I was in the middle of recording a new demo last night in my apartment, when I was rudely interrupted by a security officer that seemed to pop out of nowhere. Apparently I had been blasting the music too loud, had received numerous complaints, and since I obviously didn’t hear the doorbell, the security guy had invited himself into my apt. to tell me to turn it off. Aside from getting completely freaked out and nearly knocking over one of my speakers when he tapped me on the shoulder, the incident got me thinking that I badly need to do some sound insulation. Instead of dishing out the dough for pro-foam, or looking like an idiot by using egg-crates I decided to do what this Los Angeles-based commercial and movie composer Brad Breeck did…using quilted down blankets from IKEA to cover the walls, and putting rubber underneath my carpets. I know using blankets is nothing new, but these look just like a tiled white wall. So if you’re in a similar situation…there ya go!

Here’s a pic of his studio…
