Initially the site was created for The Rainsticks (the band) but  grew as the band members participated in other projects with other musicians. The Rainsticks disbanded in 2001 but the name lives on in the web-site.

The studio is still  functioning having been moved around a bit and is currently located in a Keller in Bockhorn. The facilities are still being used for all manner of musical production from demo’s to full blown production

In 2007 Rainsticks Limited was set up to .provide IT consultancy in the British Isles as a separate venture and a link to contact details is provided at this site.
