One Afternoon in AR Rahman’s Firdaus Studio, Dubai
At Firdaus Studio, which has found a permanent home in the site of Dubai Expo
My friends Sunanda and Aditya arranged for me this very special trip to Rahman’s Firdaus Studio. They made sure Lenina and I do not miss out on this opportunity while in Dubai. A once in a lifetime experience at the living legend’s workspace. I shall always treasure the beautiful time spent there. Aditya introduced us to his colleagues and from his expertise, he explained the process of recordings and the purposes of various specialized equipment, mixers and speaker systems. For Lenina, who has had only one very small studio recording experience in New York, this was a phenomenal introduction to the grandiose that defines contemporary audio production processes at the highest levels imaginable.
