Real World Studios

Real World Studios is the high-tech recording studio in Box, Wiltshire, associated with the Real World Records Ltd. record label founded by rock musician Peter Gabriel. Its main purpose is to promote world music and give musicians from around the world a chance to release their music in geographic areas they normally would be unable to reach (especially in the United States, where music from Africa, Asia, and Latin America is rarely heard on corporation-controlled radio). It also provides a secluded and creative atmosphere in which all musicians can thrive without having any of the distractions of the every-day world outside.

Gabriel has released all of his own albums under the Real World label since 1989. His influence has helped sell albums, and his album "" has been called a landmark in the popularization of world music. The Real World Records label [ [http://realworldrecords.com Real World Records ] at realworldrecords.com] has introduced such musicians as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Yungchen Lhamo and Youssou N'Dour to Western culture.

Real World has given musicians from different nations and different cultures the opportunity to work together and experiment with musical "fusion". The studio's best-selling musical group, other than Gabriel himself, has been the Afro Celt Sound System, which uses this musical "fusion" to combine African and Celtic rhythms and melodies.

Hope of the States guitarist James Lawrence committed suicide at the studios during the recording of their debut album. This led to tributes from the studio. [http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/rock-guitarist-found-hanged-in-peter-gabriels-studio-573345.html]
