The studio was acoustically designed by Stuart Allsop from the ground up with Golden Room Ratios and precise calculations to achieve state of the art acoustics.
With purpose for recording live loud drums and live bands, Stuart accurately calculated & designed every step of the process with building specifications in order to achieve a remarkable 50 - 55 decibels sound isolation.
ThE PROJECT WAS AMBITIOUS & NEEDED A MASTER CARPENTER/CRAFTSMEN TO ACHIEVE A STATE OF THE ART RESULT - ENTER ISRAEL BUSH. WITH BRAD DYMOCK PROJECT MANAGING, HANDS-ON ASSISTING AND LIAISING BETWEEN STUART & ISRAEL, STRIPES RECORDING STUDIO WAS COMPLETED IN 2018. (A FILM COULD BE MADE ABOUT THE PROCESS, BUT IT’S A STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME.)
ThE BESPOKE DESIGN & BUILD ASSURES AN optimal recording & mixing environment. THE STUDIO IS BOTH isolated from the quiet neighboUrhood SURROUNDING AND ENTIRELY SOUND PROOFED TO AVOID ALL NOISE RESTRICTIONS.
MORE THAN A PASSION PROJECT, THE STUDIO NOW FACILITATES EVERY ASPECT OF BRAD DYMOCK’S (FOUNDER) MULTIFACETED MUSICAL CAREER AND IS A PRICELESS ASSET IN THE CREATIVE COMMUNITY OF LISMORE, OFFERING A NEW STANDARD OF RECORDING AND PROFESSIONALISM IN THE REGION.
ABOUT BRAD DYMOCK
Hi, I’m Brad - and I’m all about tasty sounds and groove. My passion for music has been a life-long journey, creating music in almost every genre and collaborating with all kinds of creatives.
Whether it’s drumming, producing, mixing, DJing or songwriting, I’m here to bring the groove and let music work it’s magic.
BRAD DYMOCK, FOUNDER
From banging dance tracks to ambient, acoustic sounds that stir the soul, I believe in the power of musical expression.
I started my journey at age seven learning piano, gravitating towards anything with a great bass line. Soon, I was hitting drums with sticks and never looked back. By early high school, I was accompanying HSC music exams, playing local band festivals, making mixtapes and drumming in various local studios. I loved every minute of those early band days – designing indie band merch and recording our original songs live to 4-track tape.
FROM high school, I pursued a Bachelor of Contemporary Music, expanding my skills and knowledge across all musical genres. I loved the performance and production elements & dissecting the classics, however my most memorable High Distinction came from an experimental rap composition in the songwriting units. I recorded my voice and a beat I’d sequenced down to cassette tape with nothing more than an old hi-fi unit blasting the beat into the mic while I sat in front of the speaker rapping into the mic, dubbing down to the ghetto blaster!
After graduating UNI, my obsession with producing led me to dive deep into audio engineering, making the most of every studio opportunity. I spent countless nights at SCU & SAE, and found my way into 301 Studios as a session drummer, honing my skills as both a drummer and absorbing the craft of a producer. I became passionate about the process of music production - growing a project from a rough idea to a polished work of art. IT MADE ME WANT TO HELP other people experience that rewarding feeling of expression and artistic satisfaction.
Music has always been a huge part of my community. I grew up playing in the church band every Sunday so for me, music has been collaborative, communal and connecting me with people since the beginning. I’ve taught drums for over 20 years and seen my students achieve higher HSC Music marks than they thought possible (even placing 2nd in the state!) Many of my students have been nominated for Encore and go on to pursue music studies, join bands and enjoy their own music careers. I’ve trained DJs and producers who’ve gone on TO DJ residencies & releases OF THEIR OWN.
I’ve worked in the music industry as a drummer and DJ, performing at renowned clubs like Elsewhere (Surfers Paradise) and have supported Australian artists like Aston Shuffle, KLP, Alison Wonderland and LDRU. Currently, I work up and down the coast as DJ SCRADLEY specialising in Byron Bay destination weddings, corporate events, private parties and clubs. I enjoy meeting creative legends everywhere I go & care about connecting my studio clients with other industry people TO grow THE STRIPES RECORDING STUDIO network of creatives.
