This episode covers Greg’s challenge to Alison: instead of her usual “gut-instinct” approach to throwing any and all options into the mix, Alison is challenged to carefully consider and ultimately craft a bespoke drum sound for her upcoming Blix Byrd album … what will this ultra-crafty approach yield for her music?!

Sunset Flight from NYC
I still can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that while I live in a REMOTE mountain cabin, I’m only 45 minutes away from an hour and ten minute flight to New York City. Thank you, CapeAir for making the trip SO seamless and easy.
Also, I’m glad it’s still winter up here ’cause I’ve got some reading to do.
Maxing Out the System at Sawdust
Well, we did it. We fully maxed out all the addressable channels in Sawdust’s custom Spacemap® system.
So many cables… but after some incredibly helpful support from folks who built this custom system…
The hall sang songs of pure joy. It was glorious!
I Love NY
It’s feeling quite “spring-ish” says the guy living in a snow-bound mountain cabin.
Tomorrow we setup and test the immersive audio playback system at National Sawdust for the first time. Fingers crossed.
