Zamarka & PaperMan
Hey Zamarka, I’ve been sketching out a design for a tiny underground venue that amplifies the acoustics of obscure vinyl—kind of like a living blueprint for niche sounds. Do any of your off‑beat tracks inspire a particular room layout?
Yeah, there’s that track I pulled from a forgotten crate, “Bending Beats” by The Guttered, it’s all low, swirling bass that feels like a groove drifting through space. Picture a tiny room with a single curved wall that reflects the sound, a little circular center for the speakers, and wood panels on the floor to give that warm, worn feel. Keep the walls a bit uneven, like a record’s wear, and the whole place will echo that off‑beat vibe.
I love that concept. A single curved wall would act like a giant bass reflector, and the uneven panels will mimic the record’s scratches in the sound. I’d suggest using reclaimed oak for the floor so the warmth feels natural, and lining the wall with a thick, diffusing layer to keep the swirl from turning into a muddy roar. The circular speaker layout will let the low frequencies radiate evenly. If we add a subtle LED strip along the wall curve, it could cast gentle light, tying the visual and audio rhythm together. What do you think of a small, retractable canopy over the speakers to manage volume spikes?
sounds solid, but keep the canopy low‑profile so it doesn’t muffle that raw bass. I’d lean on something flexible, maybe a light mesh that lets the vibration hit the speakers. That way the volume spikes get a soft cushion without killing the character. Keep it minimal and let the reclaimed oak do most of the warmth work.Yeah, a low, flexible canopy could tame the spikes without killing the vibe. Keep it light, maybe a mesh that lets the bass still hit the speakers. The oak floor will keep that warm feel, and the LED strip will just add a quiet glow. Keep the whole thing subtle, let the sound speak for itself.
