There has been much excite
ment over the Niemeyer build
ing’s state-of-the-art recording
facilities, but not much has
been said about the difficulties
of bringing the largest record
ing facility in Oregon to life.
Recording class Instructor
Brian Rose is a driving force
behind the recently developed
Electronic Music program. One
of his main concerns has been
the budgetary constraints of
outfitting the new studios.
“First, we had to cut about
$500,000 from the building.”
Rose said. “[The] first cuts
were in the recording studio.”
That didn’t stop him from
making sure the college’s new
recordmg facilities were top of
the line. To ensure this, he went
down to Ashland to look at the
high school’s Fine Arts Center,
the Elizabethan Stage, and the
new “black box” theater, called
the New Theatre.
Rose also had to install all
of the compressors, effects pro
cessors and other components

One of the biggest money
savers was the donation of a 56-
