AIR Studio's Montserrat was the creation of the late music producer Sir George Martin, who fell for the island while on vacation there in 1977. Between 1979 and 1989, AIR Studios on the east Caribbean island of Montserrat was a premier recording destination for a galaxy of Rock-and-Roll stars where a plethora of albums and songs of the 1980s emerged, including The Police’s Ghost in the Machine (1981) and Synchronicity (1982–83), Duran Duran’s Rio (1982), Jimmy Buffett’s Volcano (1979), The Rolling Stones’ Steel Wheels (1989), Elton John’s Too Low for Zero (1983), Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms (1984–1985), and Black Sabbath’s The Eternal Idol (1986) to name a few. At least 67 albums were recorded in full or in part by internationally famous musicians at AIR Studios Montserrat during the 1980s. Category 4 Hurricane Hugo made a direct hit on Montserrat in September 1989, heavily damaging nearly all of the buildings on the tiny island and forcing the closure of Air Studios Montserrat. The property has suffered further damage from the ongoing eruptions of the Soufriere Hills volcano over the past 20+ years. AIR Studios is located near the boundary of the exclusion zone, whose precise location depends on the level of volcanic activity at any given time, and it is thus an inherently dangerous place to visit. In the famous words of Sir George Martin; “It’s like everything in life: everything has a period. You bring something out of nothing, and it always goes back to nothing again” Our goal with this video was to bring the visions of past and present together and to give you, the viewer a real feeling of what it was like to be there. It was quite an emotional, exciting and somewhat overwhelming feeling to be in the house of such legendary music and to stand in the exact location of some of our most idolized musical stars. Are we crazy to feel that it is just wrong to let this slip away? We daydream of bringing this sacred place back to life (as we are sure many have done before us). We sincerely hope you have enjoyed this, We are always glad to hear your comments and cheers from Nelsons DockYard Antigua.
