Kiowa Trail Home Studio


Overview & History

The Kiowa Trail Home Studio was the studio in the Kiowa Trail home on Lake Riley where Prince moved in December 1980 or January 1981 and lived in until January 1985. This house is also known as the 'purple house' as Prince had it painted that color when he moved in there, it was originally cream colored

The two-story ranch-style house was situated at 9401 Kiowa Trail, Chanhassen, MN. Later Prince also purchased a lot next to it (9411 Kiowa Trail) to gain more privacy.

Studio

The studio was situated in the basement of the house, formerly a family room and was spacier than Prince's previous home studio in a rented house in Wayzata, MN. It featured the equipment brought in from there, including the 16-track recording unit. Don Batts installed the equipment, some of which was upgraded from before.

The control room was pretty much full-blown and had big speakers. The recording units were fairly small, more like small booths. An acoustic Yamaha piano upstairs in the living room, directly above the studio was wired to the studio, so Prince could record himself.

Some of The Time's song from the eponymous titled first album were amongst the first recorded in the Kiowa Trail home studio.
