We will be recording
a voice over of MDT faculty member Adria Firestone. This will be a high-end
recording. I am looking for a crew of 3-5 to make this happen. Multi experience
preferred. The recording is to be used for a special application, not a class.

Count me in!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll post details here when I know what's up. Others?
ReplyDeleteCan I be part of this too? Or is it only open to current students?
ReplyDeleteYes. I will firm up a record schedule today and post it. I am considering next Thurs session start at 5. Of course set up will be earlier or day before.
ReplyDeleteBoth of you let me know if you have a conflict.
Might be attending a webinar next Thursday at 3-4pm. Waiting for confirmation from my boss. Will let you know as soon as I find out.
DeleteWednesday the 19th I am free for set-up after 3pm.
More info on this which you may or may not like.
ReplyDeleteThis is now a grand piano recording (in studio) plus VO. It will not happen next Thurs. Probably the one after. Piano setup will have to be day before. Have no details yet regarding piano mover, etc.. I am getting the vo text and will email it to you guys.
Still looking for more crew.
This is great. I'm excited! (When am I not?)
DeleteReached out to some people from our class last semester.
I'm pretty sure I'm free.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I'm free.
ReplyDeleteOK good. Stay tuned.
ReplyDeletePlease review photos here re micing for piano. Also review micing piano in MRT.
ReplyDeleteTony at MARS
Additionally, we need someone who can play piano to sit in while we mic. That will probably be a week from next Weds. Let me know if you know someone.
ReplyDeleteI can get in contact with someone.
DeleteHi Vin I'm interested in being a part of the crew, but it is very necessary to know about the schedule since I work...please keep me posted...also you can reach me at maeisan@hotmail.com for faster answer.
ReplyDeleteBets,
Mauruicio.
OK cool, Mauricio. Ruthie, please go ahead and inform your friend about the tentative dates.
ReplyDeleteUpdate, as of the moment, from communication with MDT people:
ReplyDelete"Thanks, Adria. Nice speaking to you. Please send the VO copy as soon as you have it.
Just a head's up, it's important to make it clear to all involved, especially the musician, that our schedule is crucial. Right now I am assuming our record date will be Thurs 9/27 approx. 6 PM. Piano will have to be in position at or prior to Weds 9/26, noon. Arrangements for that will have to be made via me. Mix date, unsupervised (myself and my students attending,) will probably be on the weekend, probably 9/29.
This is pending the outcome of Adria's meeting with the pianist, Rene. There will be very little wiggle room, schedule wise, so I am basically saying that this is the schedule, barring Murphy's law. Note we are currently dealing with ventilation issues with Facilities and hope that will be resoled by next Weds.. I additionally have to schedule ventilation for irregular hours, and that requires lead time, about 2 days...."
Update:
ReplyDeleteHere is the VO text, basically a poem, which may be recorded live with the piano, which means VO in the ISO, though I would prefer not to do that, because we get better sound in the studio.
"WHEN I DIE give what’s left of me away
to children and old men that wait to die.
And if you need to cry,
cry for your brother walking the street beside you.
And when you need me, put your arms around anyone
and give them what you need to give me.
I want to leave you something,
something better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I’ve known or loved,
and if you cannot give me away
at least let me live in your eyes and not in your mind.
You can love me best by letting hands touch hands,
and by letting go of children that need to be free.
Love doesn’t die, people do
So when all that’s left of me is love,
give me away."
Now knowing about the possible dates, I will confirm my availability before this Friday.
ReplyDeleteKeeping in touch!
Mauricio.
Good. I should know by tomorrow night if that sked is good.
ReplyDeleteJust to update, I'm still good.
ReplyDeleteOK, I appreciate all the volunteers, this will be an excellent crew. However, FYI, I just got word that the proposed date, Thurs 9/26, is a no go nixed by the musician. So I am waiting to find out our balls- to-the-wall last-moment deadline for mix delivery; and we will try to re-sked. ALSO, the grand piano is now an UPRIGHT PIANO. Read the recording methods for uprights in MRT and PMT.
ReplyDeleteDAMN!
