Established by audio engineer and musician Dan Thorn, the studio has recorded an estimated 50 bands and musicians. Thorn said he didn’t want to add Pink Noise to the list of spaces that have closed during the pandemic, but it became hard to keep it open.
“[Pink Noise] was a place where people could play music and hopefully make a decent little amount of money and play to a good audience,” Thorn said.
James Ikeda, who has played in Boston for over a decade, has played in The Michael Character in both solo and full band iterations — the band has released 14 albums. The Michael Character and Ikeda’s “history lecture band”have both played at Pink Noise. Ikeda said he was drawn to Pink Noise because it was affordable and versatile. “We could go in and set up our stuff, soundcheck, do all that kind of stuff, practice…We had more flexibility. Also, we could play with the space.
Pink Noise shuttering comes as yet another blow to the Boston music community. In April, a new tenant will move into the space Pink Noise currently occupies. “It'd be cool if there was another musician who could come into the space, because it's very hard to find a space where a landlord is comfortable with you making music,” Thorn said.Ikeda is no stranger to being affected by the closure of recording studios, practice spaces and venues. But Pink Noise still comes as a shattering loss.
