Milestones

Lantern House is open every afternoon until 9pm for teens aged 13 to 19. When we asked them what they wanted in the empty storage room, the answer was nearly unanimous: a studio. This request soundproofs the room and equips it with two microphones, an audio interface, studio monitors and a computer with recording software. A local producer has offered to teach a weekly session.
