Dobson High School Orchestra

This evening Dan was at Dobson High School recording their Orchestra Concert.

This also markes the first time we have sold CD's of the Dobson concerts in some time. New relations with publishers are making it much easier and much more cost effective to get these priceless memories in to the hands of the students and parents involved.

Pre-Production for Miloy and Shepard of the Valley

This afternoon Dan spent some time meeting with Sheppard of the Valley music director Miloy Cañete about their upcoming recording of Ceremony of Candles that is being recorded as part of the churches 50 year celebration.

For this recording we will be using our new mobile rig to capture 24 separate tracks of the ensemble performing this beautiful work.

Check back for pictures and details about the recording.

Brian Dredla's headin to the post office

Today Dan and Brian spent some time putting together tracks that were recorded 2 days ago for Brians audition to the Orlando Philharmonic.

At this point it's off to the post office as we eagerly await their responce.

Brian Dredla Auditions

Today Dan spent a few hours at The Audio Suite in Chandler, Arizona recording clarienist Brian Dredla as he prepares to submit material for his audition to the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra.

This was also the first time we have done any work at the Audio Suite and it suited our needs well. Studio owner Steve Harrison has a great perspective on the industry as well as the recording community and he seems to be doing a great job at bringing many LA and Phoenix resources together.

Dance Season Begins

Today Dan spent time working with Kerri at her Studio, All About Dance, preparing tracks for their upcomming dance competitions. This also marks the start of the the 2007/2008 dance season.

Scott Youngs day 2

Today Scott Youngs was back working with Dan as they finished putting together his recording fo the Goldberg Variations. 30 variations and 3 Arias in total will complete the material for this CD project.

We will probbaly have one more session that will involve determining the time between each variation. This is as much an artistic statement as the performing itself.

Variations of Goldberg

Today Dan spent the afternoon working with Scott Youngs putting together the first half of his recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations. The recording was made a couple of weeks ago in Scotts home on his beautiful HamburgStienway using our Royer R-122's with the Millennia Media Microphone Pre-Amplifiers and Apogee AD-16x Analog to Digital Converters.

So far it has been a fun project to work on and listen to. Scotts performing and the sound of his piano are a beautiful compliment to these works that were origionaly intended for Harpsichord.....History Lesson.

Aparently the variations were a comissioned by a Russion Ambasador Count Kaiserling, who was often ill and struck with insomnia. Johann Gottlieb Goldberg lived in the house with Kaiserling and would be summoned to play in an antechamber durring Kaiserlings insomnia. It is believed that Goldberd was the first to play Bach's works and as such, they were named after him.

We will be back with Scott tomorow to finish putting the works together for a total of 30 seperate variations.
