A Sound and Video Production Company
As posted last time, Fall has been a constant flow and no days off. I figured I would finally get to have a break just after Thanksgiving – finish my corporate gig, come back to Fairfield U for the second show of the season for a week and a half, and then rest. 70 days …
This fall is…insane is the only word to sum it up. Mary and I have never been booked so solidly. Fairfield University called when their Technical Director, my longtime friend Kevin, had to leave for a wonderful opportunity out of state. I had some pending contracts coming up, and wasn’t going to be able to …
I spent a lot of time doing print design in my career. Even when I wasn’t working in show production full time, I was generating all kinds of content for marketing and advertising. Haven’t had to do print in some time; an old friend of mine called me up asking if I’d be up for …
Not much rest here… After the super intense spring season, I had 3-4 days off, and then Mary and I jumped in the car and drove across the country with our friend Steph and her 2 year old. Did a little bit of work from the car, designing some digital scenery for Rocky Hill Community …
Driving across the country! Yeah! That’s my summer. Mary and I are trying to hit all 50 states (or finish hitting them) in the next couple of years. Which means I have 9 left after this trip, and she will have 11. (Helps that we are hitting 26 or so on this trip alone.) While …
Here it is! The project I worked so hard on earlier this summer, straining to teach myself more about Qlab and MIDI. Made the best of a situation with very little gear, and I think we did some fine work as a result. Special thanks to director John Regis for bringing me in and letting …
I was right. What was supposed to be a short show run at Bankstreet School for Children has turned into a long show run, and then getting into all of the other shows that were happening at the end of the school year. After the Wizard of Oz, there was A Midsummer Night’s Dream (with …
Got a call to do a run of Wizard of Oz in NYC. It sounded like a crummy warehouse show, but when I got there it turned out to be a nice little theatre at a prestigious school on the Upper West Side. Everyone is super nice, and I’m being given carte blanche to do …
Got to work for Pat Metheny this weekend. His stage setup is pretty complex. He has all of these percussion instruments set up, with sticks being held by motors which are triggered via MIDI. On top of that, we loaded in these massive cabinets, that had jugs filled with water and laundry detergent. Why would …
As usual, Talking to Walls did our annual Black Hearts Parade tour for the month of March to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Was another success. This year, instead of playing a set with bagpipers and dancers, we just played as the three of us, with a regular show that also happened to have a video …
