Overview:
Different Fur is a recording studio located in the burgeoning mission district of San Francisco, California (3470 19th Street). Since 1968, Different Fur has recorded music from a wide range of artists that includes major Grammy & Oscar winning musiscians as well as independent musicians.
Background:
The studio was first founded by influential electronic music composer/keyboardist Patrick Gleeson in 1968. By the early 1970's Gleeson was doing sessions with Jefferson Starship on his recently acquired 8-track and Moog. It was his expertise in early synthesizers, like the Moog, that eventually led to collaborations with Herbie Hancock, one artist who Gleeson credits with helping Different Fur get off the ground. By 1971 Gleeson was working with Hancock on Crossings and Sextant. He went on to record many of the synthesizers on Hancock's master work Head Hunters at Different Fur.
While Gleeson eventually went on to sell Different Fur, it remains an active recording studio to this day. Over the years Brian Eno, Devo, Kronos Quartet, Bobby Hutcherson, and Primus have all recorded at Different Fur. [1]
