![]() ![]() ![]() To the left is an empty walled‑off section, scarcely bigger than a cupboard, which she intends to develop as a vocal booth if the need ever arises.īorn into a musical family - her mother was a semi‑professional opera singer - Rose has been a poet and predominantly guitar‑based singer/songwriter for most of her life, but never owned her own recording gear until a few years ago. Fortunately, Rose's parents live only a few miles from the caravan site, and they offered her the use of the old attic box room at the top of their house. To save money while on the three‑year course, she lived full‑time in a mobile home on a caravan site on the edge of the moors, where space was at even more of a premium than in her studio. The studio came about in this tiny attic as a result of Rose's need for a project studio in which to complete work for her course. ![]() This is where she did much of the editing and sample‑based composition which netted her a 2:1 degree with honours, and she has successfully recorded guitarists and vocalists here. Rose's studio is certainly the smallest I've ever been in, but that doesn't make it any less useful as a place to work and record. Get up out of the comfortable studio chair, however, and the negative aspects of the studio become rather more apparent - or at least they did to a certain visiting SOS writer, who was unable even to stand up straight thanks to the sloping roof! An ideal working environment, you might think, perfectly suited to harnessing creative impulses. Located high in the attic of a tall Victorian house, Rose's studio looks out directly onto the Yorkshire moors, and from where she sits in front of her master keyboard and PC the view is simply breathtaking. They say small is beautiful, and nowhere is that idea better illustrated than in the tiny attic studio belonging to Rose Rylands, recent graduate of the BA Creative Music Technology degree course at University College Scarborough. As you can see in this shot, the walls slope quite sharply, reducing the available headroom for visiting magazine writers and photographers! The window looks out directly onto the beautiful Yorkshire moors. ![]()
