Hendrix fans and studio buffs, this one’s for you!
Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision dives deep into Jimi Hendrix's ambitious vision, which transformed the ruins of a bankrupt nightclub into the first ever, artist owned commercial recording studio. More than just fulfilling Hendrix's vision, Electric Lady Studios became the creative home to artists such as Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Beyoncé as well as some of the most celebrated music of all time.
John McDermott’s documentary features exclusive interviews and stories about how Electric Lady Studios became a cultural and musical hub in the 1970s. McDermott sheds light on Hendrix's artistic ambitions and technical innovations, which extended beyond his own music to influence the entire soundscape of the era. One of the highlights is footage of music engineer Eddie Kramer breaking down classic tracks such as Freedom, Angel, and Dolly Dagger, offering a glimpse into the magic behind the music.
The documentary captures beautifully both Hendrix's creative spirit and the lasting impact of Electric Lady Studios on the music world.
