More Of The Same!

Well, I've not kept to my promise of regularly blogging, but it certainly has been another long week.

The Little Theatre has just finished a run of Three Sisters. The show contained two visual scene changes and so more crew members were required to assist than on a usual play.  I managed to work on 5 or 6 of the dress rehearsals/shows, so a valuable experience was gained.

Thursday night, myself along with Ricardo, Roland and Luis ran the sound for the yearly LEBC fashion show, held at the Athena in Leicester. As well as controlling the sound, we were also in control visual effects. The show was certainly run as professionally as could be, with the music run by iTunes and the visuals being run from the shitest windows laptop, it was certainly challenging task to keep on cue. To add to that some of the PDF's and DVD given to us by the acts were a mission in themselves to get working and one act didn't even provide us with music, Paul's iPod to the rescue. However, the show was a success overall with only a few minor sound hiccups. 

Right, time for college work so I'll leave you with this.

Time to snap out of my online laziness!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a while since my last post, admittedly I have been busy but that's no excuse for not keeping this blog updated.

So what have I been up to.

Well, the past couple of weeks I've been running the sound for Billy Liar at the Little Theatre. The show was fairly simple to run, with there only being 14 sound cues during the show. But the experience was invaluable and i'm looking forward to running another. Here's a review!

More exciting recording news as Ricardo Wheelband has just secured us an opportunity to record the Leicester Symphony Orchestra at their upcoming show at the De Montfort Hall. So we're super excited and currently planning how to conduct he recording.

Educational wise, my college class is currently working together to put on a CD launch party for a compilation album, containing bands that members of the class have recorded. I was voted into manage the project and it certainly seems a hard task with each meeting turning into a riot. But it's certainly fun and the project is being to pick up pace. Check out Peter Collins and Jake Brennan's blogs to view their side of the project and also to see design plans.

Right as for now, time to watch a bit of the horrific England Cricket display, then it's off to college, before crewing for the tech run for Three sisters at the Little Theatre tonight. So a long day ahead!
