KENMORE, WA (KPLU) - In the theater or on your couch you might not pay detailed attention to movie soundtracks, but they do at Bastyr University in Seattle (Kenmore).
You see, the naturopathic university campus is on the site of a former Catholic seminary. A part of the seminary featured a chapel built in 1958. The acoustics turned out to be gorgeous. Big, full, but with no echo.
A few small choirs began recording there and the word got out. Exceptional sound. Hollywood found out and fell in love with the venue.
