Thorne Recording Studios
A state-of-the-art recording facility hidden behind an unmarked brick facade. Soundproofed rooms contain gleaming equipment: reel-to-reel tapes, oscillators, and frequency generators whose needles trace invisible waves of control.
WHAR Radio Studio
A cramped broadcast booth lined with sound-dampening egg-crate foam, dominated by a massive RCA microphone that looms like an interrogator. Red ON AIR sign pulses above the door, while turntables and mysterious vinyl records sit on cracked linoleum.
