The empty steel water tank is a sonic wonder which has been transformed into a recording and performance venue, and is internationally renowned for its ethereal acoustics and 30 to 40 second reverberation. The combination of a parabolic floor, a high concave roof, and cylindrical walls causes sound to swirl and spiral around. Music sounds otherworldly in the space as it hangs in the air, both diffused and enriched. A few portals in the roof provide shafts of light during the day, providing a magical environment in which to sing. "The Tank," as it is affectionately called, sits on a remote hillside. On its sides are the words "Rio Grande," named for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad line that never quite reached Rangely. Residents of the town say the Tank was originally built to provide water for steam locomotives. But the Tank stood unused for decades because the railroad was never built far enough south. In the 1960's, it was purchased to store water to fight fires, but was found to have been built on unstable ground that couldn't withstand the weight of so much water. The Tank stood on pea gravel with all the weight on the edges, so the floor bent upward over time and became convex in shape. It remained empty, known only to local teens who used the space to party, until it was discovered by musician Bob Odland who recognized the structure's unique acoustic potential. In 2012, The Tank was in danger of being sold for scrap metal. A collection of artists and avant-garde musicians from all over the world banded together to save the structure by running a successful Kickstarter Campaign and working with volunteers from all over the country to renovate and rehabilitate the structure. It is now a state-of-the-art recording studio which has hosted many musicians over the past several years including the Grammy Award-winning vocal group Roomful of Teeth.
