The music room as a 1960s recording studio. Walnut slatted walls and a coffered ceiling with globe pendants, a row of guitars on the left wall, a black grand piano and a drum kit on rugs, acoustic diffuser panels, an ON AIR sign over a door, and on the right a large analogue mixing desk with monitors and a control room window. Two green mid-century armchairs round a low table on an orange rug in the foreground.
