What we're doing.

Coconut Monkey Studios has operated for a number of years as a mobile recording service. This has allowed us to work with some great artists and provide recording services to some that may not have been able to record otherwise. Through all of this, though, we have dreamed of having our own dedicated space. This will accomplish a number of goals:

  • Improved sound quality - Recording in a mobile setting is great for keeping cost down, but at the cost of consistent sound quality. Having our own space will allow us to make consistently high quality recordings
  • Reduced time commitment - Having to travel for recording, set up in a space, tear down and do it all again for the next session takes time. By having our own space, we can leave equipment set up and ready to record at the drop of a hat, saving everyone time and effort.

We have an empty space ready to be converted, but not the bootstraps to get it done on our own. Your contributions will help us get there by allowing us to finish the space to exactly suit the needs of a studio.  We have been documenting the work so far on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/coconut_monkey_studios/

What We Need & What You Get.

Building a studio is expensive, there's no doubt about that. And while we already have the equipment we need for basic operation, we need help getting the space set up. The room is bare framing, a blank canvas on which we can build our vision. It will take a lot of work to get there, though. Here's what we're hoping to fund with this campaign:

  • Electrical re-wire of the whole area
  • Insulation and wall covering
  • Installation of a bathroom
  • Replacing old, barely functioning doors
  • Acoustic treatment
  • Additional equipment purchases

In order to keep costs low and make contributions go as far as possible, much of the work will be done by us. By doing this, we're hoping to show our commitment to your, our supporters, and be the best stewards of the hard earned money you are giving us.

Speaking of, this isn't a one way street. What do you get out of the deal? We have a number of awesome perks to show you our thanks for your support, including but not limited to:

  • Heavily discounted studio time
  • Dope swag. Drip? *Insert hip saying for shirts and stuff*
  • Your name displayed on a "thank you" wall in the studio
  • Access to exclusive video and live stream content
  • Free reign to put stick-on googly eyes wherever you want in the studio
  • Invitations to barbeques, listening parties, etc.
  • Glitter!?

Need I go on? Regardless of how much you are able to give, you will also receive our eternal gratitude for helping realize this dream.

What could go wrong?

Lots. Holy crap. Starting a business, going through the level of construction needed there could be plenty of pitfalls. But here's what we know; We have been recording for years in our existing capacity. The building will be here whether the studio is completed or not. And with a dream this long-standing, so close within reach, we are determined to get this project completed. These three things combined will help us ensure the project is seen through. Unexpected hurdles and challenges may slow us down, but with the momentum already building it will take a lot to stop us. We value transparency above anything else, especially as recipients of your generosity. As these hurdles come up, we will clearly state the issue as well as our plan to overcome.

No money? No problem!

We get it, money can be tight. If you aren't able to contribute monetarily, we totally understand and love you anyway. You CAN still help, though! Sharing on social media and giving your endorsement of us and our project is huge! Any little bit helps
