Wayzata Home Studio
Overview & History
The Wayzata Home Studio was the studio in the house Prince rented after moving from France Avenue and before moving to the Kiowa Trail house. He lived and recorded there for about a year from December 1979. It was situated in Wayzata, MN, on the north arm of Lake Minnetonka.
Studio
The studio was at the back of the house. Behind the living room was an adjacent part and that is where the studio started. The drum booth was under water with sand bags along the sides. There was a drain of water, due to a cesspool that was cut into a hill that was abandoned. There was no room for a piano in the studio. The console had a 16-track recording unit.
