After several years of delays and countless months of preparation, Music in the Constellation at National Sawdust is finally here.
Final Sound Check
Before I hop on the flight to NYC, we need one final sound check. Move everything into a different room and see if we have everything needed to make beautiful music…
Of course, we can’t actually HEAR anything so for now we’ll just need to be sure the flux capacitor is… fluxing.
Goodbye, Hello!
I’ve heard there are decaffeinated brands on the market that are as tasty as the real thing. In this case, not so much.
What’s this? I have a package, you say? Just in time…

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!
Music in the Constellation: An Evening of Immersive Audio
Composer Greg Wilder curates an evening of contemporary music from 1 to the 102 speakers that make up the Meyer Sound Constellation at National Sawdust. Featuring seminal works by Frank Zappa and Karlheinz Stockhausen in their original format, the evening explores immersive audio and the creative opportunities it affords in a way that can only experienced first hand in the space itself.
Setting Up A New Play
Setting up for Food & Shelter – a ghost story for those who sometimes wonder if they themselves might be ghosts… A darkly moving fairytale about love. 💜🖤💜

A Dome in the Woods
It seems a wood elf came in the night and installed a 7.1.4 Atmos system in the cabin. Just in time, too. So many multi-channel projects slated for 2022…
Maybe 12 speakers is too many for any one person to handle?
Meyer Sound and National Sawdust Partnership
This week Meyer Sound and National Sawdust announced a new partnership.
We’re talkin’ 86 high-resolution speakers and 16 subwoofers installed behind all of these beautiful wall and ceiling panels. I was fortunate to get a behind-the-scenes look at this amazing setup last month.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind performance space in NYC and some exciting things are in the works. Stay tuned…
