Peter Gabriel is considering turning an upcoming recording session at his Real World Studios into an intimate gig after The Incredible String Band did just that to cover the costs of a recent album.The group charged 120 fans $100 (£54) for the privilege of recording tracks at Real World in Box, England - and studio boss Gabriel was more than impressed.He tells Filter magazine, "The Incredible String Band wrote to their fans on their website and sold admission to their recordings... and that gave them the budget to purchase the studio time."They created a mini-economy based on 120 people." And now Gabriel is considering hosting a similar studio treat for his fans: "There are space constraints at Real World, but I'm sure we could figure something out."
