Porcupine Studios (Chandler, Ariz., www.porcupinestudios.com) recently hosted George
Benson, who worked with producer Paul Brown on guitars and vocals on
his upcoming CD; Brown manned an Otari Status 80-input console and
raided the studio's 80-plus mic closet. Co-owner John Wroble has been
busy working on the third season of Comedy Central's hit series
Crank Yankers, various audio and video projects with Johnny
Depp, Esteban's live DVD recording, and various projects for GIA
Publications and Metal Blade Records.
















The studio's birth was, ironically, caused by an economic downturn.
Wroble's field engineer day job at AT&T ended when he was laid off
in 1994, allowing him to invest his time and energy — and money
— to expand his project studio into a 1,400-square-foot recording
space. Soon after, Wroble met future co-owner Jeff Harris while both
were doing a remote recording for the Arizona Music Awards; soon after,
Harris was also laid off. The two began doing session work and with
numerous projects coming in, Wroble and Harris moved to a larger
location that now houses three studios and a video edit bay.
















Harris' past gigs include engineering at The Village Recorder (Los
Angeles) for 15 years, where he worked on Supertramp's Breakfast in
America and Fleetwood Mac's Tusk.
