Eddie Kramer knows it sounds silly, but whenever he’s asked what’s so special about Electric Lady, the recording studio Jimi Hendrix commissioned him to build in 1968, he gives the same answer: “It’s the vibes. Any time I walk in here, I feel them,” he said as he sat inside the studio’s control room. “It’s in the walls. It’s in the hallway. The spirit of Jimi is everywhere.”
“If you want to believe it’s the vibes, fine,” said John Storyk, the architect who created the studio’s design, who sat next to Kramer as they spoke. “But there’s more to it. There’s also science involved.”
