Year: 2007 (Page 1 of 3)

It was a long night in the underground labyrinth of Oakland’s Paramount Theater last Thursday. Boone, Jon Perkins (our new assistant engineer / intern) and I spent 15 hours in the basement beneath the orchestra pit to set up and record KT Tunstall and David Gray who performed for KFOG’s Concert for Kids charity show.

It was an quite a different place from which to record. Most of the night we heard the banging of the performers’ feet  over our heads louder than the sound of the actual mix which wafted in from the hallways. At one point, we heard pieces of the duct work fall from the ceiling overhead due to one of David Gray’s more excited foot stomps.

The recording came out wonderfully, so it should turn up on the radio in the coming weeks / months. Tune into KFOG to check it out.

KFOG released their yearly compilation album “Live from the Archives’ volume 14 this month. The CD features 3 tracks, that I worked on. Flying Kitchen recorded and mixed both Bernard Fanning and James Morrison and I recorded the Shins at KFOG’s Playspace last April. Proceeds from the album benefit Bay Area food banks.

Tom Petty’s new film and multi disc set “Runnin Down a Dream” debuts this week. I recorded a show for it at the Greek Theater in Berkeley over the summer.<img class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-211″ title=”2007-10-14TomPettyDVD” src=”http://www.michaelwinger.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/2007-10-14TomPettyDVD.png” alt=”2007-10-14TomPettyDVD” width=”271″ height=”358″ /><br /><br />
