so we're expanding the studio into the apartment next door, and the
wall separating the cr from the studio is such (from cr studio):

1/2" drywall, fiberglass, 2x4 on 16" cntr, 1/2" drywall, 2" airgap, 6
inches sand, veneer of plaster of paris.

since the ceilings are 12'6", the 2x4 and drywall surface is rather
resonant even with the insulation. i want to treat the cr surface to
better that surface.

i've thought about a patterned bead of acoustic caulk sandwiched under
a new layer of 5/8" drywall. but the thing is, i don't like drywal,
and i try to minimize its use. i could put a veneer of plaster of
paris, and get an interesting texture in the process, but i'm
wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what i could do with
this monstrosity (short of tearing it down).

all the best
