Studios reflect an order related to the work and give an accurate picture of an artist's personality, without the need to see or even know the person. They are places that can be read, as sources, also in a way that enables one to understand how music is made there and why it sounds the way it does. Or, to use Sasha Perera's words: "If your studio looks like an Ikea Billy regal, maybe your music is an Ikea Billy regal.“ The photo and interview book Inside the Studio. Spaces of Electronic Music Production explores these landscapes for the cities and scenes of Berlin and Cairo, ranging from elaborate multi-million-dollar studios crammed with hardware to minimalist sound labs, setups in shared apartments or teenage bedrooms, and places used by collectives that more closely resemble band rehearsal rooms. With Ricardo Villalobos, Cinthie, Frank Wiedemann, Modeselektor/Moderat, Marcel Dettmann, Gudrun Gut, Westbam, Dr. Motte, Sarah Farina, Perera Elsewhere, Robert Henke, Roman Flügel, 3Phaz, Hassan Abou Alam, Postdrone, Carsten Nicolai, Tobi Neumann, Stefan Betke/Pole, and many more.
