The Phonoautomat is a solar-powered mobile recording studio built by engineer Jake Nicoll (The Burning Hell, Kelly McMichael) and manned by Jake, Ariel Sharratt & Mathias Kom (The Burning Hell). Sign up for a half-hour session, step into The Phonoautomat, and record 5 minutes of material in a fully analog chain, copied onto four limited edition cassettes for you and your band. While you wait for your song to be mixed (quickly!), make your album art in the art lounge outside and walk away with four rare cassingles for keeps or trade. The Phonoautomat is equipped with a backline and instruments: all you have to bring is the music!

Want a B-Side? Come to the Phonoautomat with another band's tape and get their track dubbed onto the other side of the cassette.

Jake, Ariel and Mathias will be operating the Phonoautomat from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Saturday and Sunday at Sappyfest! Come visit the Rod Allen Co. Parking Lot (Struts Gallery) for more details!
