Hugh’s Archive Deep Dive: 22. A large part of the DGM Archive is taken up by the tape store. With the vast majority of the King Crimson and Fripp-related masters and multitracks already digitised, we rarely need to return to the original tapes for audio—except, of course, when we do. Then it is a matter of baking tapes (to drive out moisture to prevent the tapes shedding oxide when played)...

More progress at the studio. It was a hive of industry this week as the wiring crew were on site fitting all the data cables and wall sockets. No expense has been spared in making sure there will never be a case of “I can’t find anywhere to plug in”, and that even extends to the toilet, which, as everyone knows, is where someone is going to find the best reverberant sound for their vocals...
