Last night we worked with NEXT Music at PCTV in Pleasantville, NY. This time it was an interesting twist. The band performed inside the TV studio as the audience watched outside on a big screen. Robbers On High Street have a great sound so it was fun to mix this show. The twist for us was we were mixing for three different elements, studio with monitors, TV, and outside. If you weren’t lucky enough to score tickets at this show, the whole thing was streamed online at allthingsnext.com.This was made a little tougher by a special event happening at the theater next door and the battle of not interfering with their presentation. But overall this experiment was a lot of fun. A party on a beautiful night with live music.
Now the outside really was an alley way between PCTV and a theater. The theater was showing a movie from music legend Neil Young. What was most interesting is here is an up and coming band working on their craft and a bunch of people watching and it was more of a nuisance to him! When Neil exited the theater he didn’t even acknowledge the people with a polite wave. Not even a glance. A decent crowd in an alley just mere feet from the door he exited from and it was as if the people who were politely saying hello were non existent.
But, it had nothing to do with the party itself so it had no effect on the good times in a little town in New York. Pictures and audio will be posted soon.
