The hat that started it all.
Why a crazy chicken?
One photo. One ridiculous plush chicken hat. One friend with a nickname that stuck forever — “Crazy Chicken.” The studio name was born from the laugh, and the mascot was drawn to match the man.
Crazy Chicken Studios is the home recording studio of Angelo Coelho — a one-man workshop of keyboards, guitars, pads and screens where songs get born in spare time and grow with patience.
“This is my own home recording studio. I started it to learn music in my spare time… Music is a passion for me. I've been away for a while, but I'm back at full throttle.”
An 80's & 90's lover at heart, Angelo writes in the space between progressive rock and new age — and the best chapter is still being recorded.
The very first studio, 2013 — when everything was finally “almost” running, the fun began.
The Long Road
How it started, the golden age, the quiet years — and what comes next.
2013
It starts in a bedroom corner
October 30, 2013 — first setup, first session. Everything started here.
Three monitors on a riser, a rack of outboard gear under the desk, two MIDI keyboards and a wall of vinyl and posters. Small room, big plans.
2019
The golden age
The second setup — the most complete the studio ever was.The battle station at full volume: triple-screen DAW, pad grids, synths, rack after rack.
The second setup was the biggest and most complete: a fully loaded 19-inch rack, multiple synths, a triple-screen DAW desk and a wall of controllers. This was Crazy Chicken Studios at full volume.
2021
The move, then the quiet
The third setup — downsized to almost nothing.
Then came the move, and the sickness that followed. The studio shrank to a corner and the music went quiet — the gear kept working, but at a whisper instead of a roar.
Now
The flame never went out
The old Roland MT-32 still sings. May 2026.
The music never really stopped, and the old gear still sings when the hand itches. The comeback studio is coming — the chicken is crazy, but never cured.
The Music
Straight from the studio to your speakers — free on SoundCloud.
Baking Cookies
Progressive rock with a sweet tooth — layered guitars and odd-time grooves from the vault.
The Rabbit and the Blue Pill
New-age drift down the rabbit hole — ambient textures and patient melodies.
Following the Rabbit
The journey begins — progressive rock / new age, the track that set the studio's compass.
