Musician finds affordable fun in basement recording studio

Story posted March 18, 2014 in News by Cassie Hart


Hidden in the basement of Atherton Hall is a soundproof room known to few except Penn State's most frugal and dedicated recording musicians, like underground hip hop musician, Nick Filano.

He literally fills up every ounce of his free time creating music underground, and he does it all for fun. With only the use of his keyboard, hip hop music comes to life and is free to download on the Blackmaut and Filno Youtube channel, BandCamp profile and Soundcloud.
