as promised, I’ve posted a few clips from my senior concert in the audio box. Tom Mark and Jon Sargent made a great recording for me, and although it’s not in 5 channels anymore, it’s better than nothing. obviously the 45 minute piece is not meant to be chopped up like this, but I just wanted to give you a taste.
the concert was in Bard Hall, an old building with a high ceiling and a lively, reflective sound. it started a little after 7pm while the sun was setting. i told everyone to close their eyes, and someone suggested turning off the lights (i hadn’t realized they were even on) and i’m glad i did. by the end it was deep blue twilight, almost totally dark, which i thought was perfect.
another cool thing about the live performance: the windows of the hall were wide open. on clip 3, my audio goes silent and the outside sounds come in – a bird on this clip; at the end of the concert a lone peeper was chirping. i’d love to perform it in a field near some train tracks…
