'''Nothing Studios''' is a former funeral home that was the recording studios and base of operations for [[Nine Inch Nails]] and [[Trent Reznor]] from 1994-2004. It was jointly owned by [[John Malm]] and Reznor through a holding company called Hot Snakes.
The studios, located at 4500 Magazine St. in New Orleans, were apparently not seriously damaged by Hurricane Katrina. During an interiew on the Los Angeles radio station KROQ, Reznor stated that the building was not a studio anymore. Later, a collection of his photos were put on [[nin.com]], detailing the aftermath of the hurricane on his former studios and the surrounding area, before [[Nine Inch Nails]] played a [[2005/10/29 New Orleans, LA|scheduled concert]] (which had become a benefit for the survivors).
While writing ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'', Reznor lived in the [[Le Pig|Tate mansion]] where the Manson family murders took place. After When he moved outin December 1993, and it was demolishedwith the mansion scheduled for demolition, he went back and took came to an agreement with the owner to take the infamous door on which the word "pig" had been scrawled in blood. He took it to New Orleans and installed it as a souvenir. It became the front door to Nothing Studios.
Reznor relocated to Los Angeles in September 2004, and the former site of Nothing Studios was eventually put up for sale, for approximately $1.3 million. The property was purchased in 2010 for $900,000 and was converted to office and retail space.
