The Shimmer Prototype 2 has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.

Tweak Laboratory closed its Bondi Junction doors this week after 7 years. The studio has been such a hit that since 2002 it has never advertised, and all work that comes through the door is from word of mouth.

The studio has always been very client focused. Each artist is unique and is treated as such. As well as serving some smaller corporate companies, it also has served as source of support for artists, including providing services in production, composition, recording and mixdown. A great list of credits have come through the door. One of the first was DJ Bonez in early 2003, when Paul Newcomb was engineering. Others include Australian composer Gavin Lockley, Single Gun Theory lead woman, Jacqui Hunt, spoken word artist Tom Jack of Hearts, JJJ unearthed winner Yunyu, multi-award winning composer Davood Tabrizi, virtuoso violinist Sophie Serafino, Australian electro label Southern Outpost, and dozens of local Sydney popular and underground artists who have enjoyed the personal touch, career consultation, referrals, and above all, the care they deserve when working to create, develop or finalise their musical creations.

Currently the studio is in transit, while i wander off to europe for a month, and with a bit of luck and a lot of construction, re-open in Darlinghurst early September.

Thanks to all my clients and musical friends for making Bondi Junction a safe haven for a boutique recording studio. See you all again really soon.
