friday jazz sessions
This playlist contains a number of tracks that were a part of Western Sound Studio's "Friday Jazz Sessions". During these sessions an engineer is put in contact with one of the many jazz ensembles at WMU to record a song of their choice. The engineer is given two hours to set up, one hour to track, and one hour to tear down. They are then given three hours of studio time to use to mix the track and send it to the ensemble within a week of recording. These sessions were invaluable in teaching me how to work very quickly and still achieve a great end product. I also learned how to communicate quickly and effectively with ensembles that I usually had no prior contact with.
Original Music
Class Projects
The goal of this project was to record and mix a band live, with no post editing or processing. This is a recording of WMU's Jazz Lab Band performing You Stepped Out Of A Dream featuring Shannon Egan on vocals.
This project required me to record a song without the aid of any effects processing (such as EQ, compression, reverb plugins, etc.). This taught me a great deal about the importance of microphone placement, and getting a good sound before the recording, as apposed to fixing it in post. This is a cover of Angel Olsen's Shut Up Kiss Me.
For this project, we had to record a cover that sounded as close as possible to the original recording. From this experience I learned how to listen very critically and experiment with microphone choices and placement. This is a cover of Sufjan Stevens' All The Trees Of The Field Will Clap Their Hands.
