East Iris Recent Press
"Producers and engineers are partial to specific rooms and consoles, and often take projects to such facilities. For engineer David Thoener, that meant bringing Matchbox Twenty to Nashville's East Iris Studios. 'It's a Tom Hidley-designed room,' explains studio manager Mike Paragone, 'and has a Solid State Logic 9000 J Series console. That's what [Thoener] was looking for. David Leonard has also done so much here-Barenaked Ladies "Stunt" was his biggest.'"-Billboard Magazine, June 28, 2003:p 48
