Smiling Gecko Educational Campus
Sounds good, Does good
With «The Gong» Cultural Center, we have laid an important foundation for the recovery of Cambodia’s cultural identity. Dr. Hang Chuon Naron, Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, was not the only one impressed by the building and the visionary idea of turning the Smiling Gecko Campus into a nationally visible cultural amplifier.
For us, it was less a vision than a necessity to make the country sound again. After all, music, painting, dance, and theater are important components of self-discovery. They are also essential to the intellectual development of our students. The children have already shown how much they enjoy all kinds of music in the numerous pieces we have recorded with them over the years. The latest project is the song “Lisa” by Jan SEVEN Dettwyler, with whom we have had a special relationship since the days of the “Container Full Of Music”.
The studio isn’t quite finished yet, but we were able to use it for some test recordings. We are thrilled with the sound. And to be honest, we’re a little proud of the look, too. Especially considering that most of the interior work was done by our own craftsmen. Pretty impressive, isn’t it?
