The workshop of Starr Cigar Box Guitars serves as the frontline for Donovan Collins Production, where custom craftsmanship meets industrial sound. Featuring a lineup of handcrafted 4-string and 3-string instruments, this space is where the low-C grit and heavy riffs are engineered before they hit the digital airwaves. By integrating the physical builds of SCBG with the sonic output of DCP, the process is laid bare: real wood, heavy gauges, and mechanical precision. The featured live audio, "Set it to the side," provides the background pulse for this showcase of tactile artistry and high-friction production. As we move toward the May releases including "Dark Mystery" on the 3rd and "A Secret I Keep" on the 7th, the focus remains on the synergy between the builder’s bench and the producer’s studio. This is an inside look at the high-fidelity reality behind the music.
