Tape Op Magazine has published a story about Monkeyclaus studio written by Vijith Assar in 2006. Though you can subscribe to Tape Op Magazine for free, you must back order issue#64 to get the Monkeyclaus article ($5- its worth it).

The article is great and gives an exciting look into the earlier days of Monkeyclaus and some ideas that inspired the building and fruition of our beloved studio and technology.
