Thank-you Peter for sending me the tour video of Real World studios. That was so kind of you to get it to me so soon after my request. The video is so informative. I am in awe of how much goes into the making of fantastic music. Loved the tour thanks again! C.Miller.
What an amazing place to work in. As I have no idea of how to make music or how this kind of equipment works, I would feel completely overwhelmed if I walked into any of this rooms, but for professional musicians it must be such a delight! The space is so beautiful and the acoustics of the different rooms so stunning. The amount of natural light, the river under the floor, the amount of green, the old mill… oh, dear. What a romantic place! While watching the documentary, I was picturing myself working in a place like that (and having Peter Gabriel as my boss), and boy is it a dream! To see his studio has also made me happy, in a way, because as a fan of Peter it makes me glad that he has such an amazing place to work in, a kind of sanctuary where I’m sure he has spent countless hours feeling completely free and happy doing what he loves best. The same way his music makes me happy, I want him to be happy as well. Bless him!
A-MAZING. I think if I could meet one living artist and talk music, I'd choose Peter Gabriel - been a fan since the late 70's of everything he's done. Real World is like the Magic Kingdom for musicians. I've love to see it sometime.
i was really wondering what that cheapo casio keyboard was doing so prominently displayed. Since I'm always recording random keyboard riffs I'd personally love the ability to do this and have it displayed as such.
As a musician, the concept of the process of writing, which is such a private, personal, vulnerable stage of the creative process, taking place in a room shared with two full-time staff members, who you are paying to hang around waiting to fastidiously document every little half-baked doodle you try out, seems a completely bizarre way to want to work.
Yes, I thought the same. But then again, when was this recorded? These days I just have my DAW (or phone even) at the ready to track ideas with midi for voicings etc I guess Gabriel just wants the staff to do the tech stuff so he can just be creative....
Gabriel have his very own way of working, and takes ages, he's a "slow creator", that's why quite a few musicians and producers don't want to work him anymore...But boy does he deliver amazing creative music, and these days about an album per decade !
@@davesaunders3334 It never ceases to amaze me that so many people like you exist online - people who can’t tell the difference between bemusement and critique, and always feel a knee-jerk response to defend what nobody is attacking.

Shocked that I only just found this. Great stuff - fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
A fascinating look behind the curtain. An absolute thrill for a life long PG fan like myself.
Me too ;)
Beautiful place..amazing studios..!!!!
Very interesting! Thomas Newman and Peter Gabriel actually working together.. blows my mind. Wish it was filmed.
The Casio visual midi recall system at 9.43 is genius!

Thanks for sharing this video, lots of good ideas and it's very cool to see what works creatively for one of the best musical artist.

Yes, you tell him where he’s going wrong. I bet he’d be grateful for the advice.

That was amazing.
Really enjoyed that... So interesting
Great! Thanks for sharing
Superb! Thank you.
That hanging Casio... Brilliant, for the time of course...
Thanks for the insight
Sacred ground! 🎸👍
I'll be there!
Wow! wish I could live in that room I would make so many beats 😭 can yout hire for a day or so???
Nick batt you are the man
cool vid!
The old mill by the stream ............... cute
when this video was shot?
Looks like 2007-08, there used to be links on SonicState's site.
2008. The date comes up at the end - 32:58
I have heard of a guy who wrote songs using his banjo. So maybe it can be done even easier. Not that this isn't easy.
😍
Made in 2008
The writting is room is a real studio...wtf
this is the sort of set up you use when you've run out of things to say .....
Agree. Been there
Yes, Peter Gabriel, famously a man with nothing to say, musically. You should definitely email him and let him know.
To be honest, this looks like a big fucking mess. I get the sense that both of these guys know this is entirely too much gear.
And then he want on to become one of the most successful musicians of the 20th century. The bloody idiot.
