Just thought I should throw a few of these photos up here for all to see! Im afraid there has been some trouble with folks viewing video, so I will post video from the shoot soon when the tech trouble is resolved.

INTRODUCTION:

On August 19th, we held a public recording event to capture crowd sounds, marching sounds, metal orchestra sounds and such things that can only sound great with a mass of people.  The sounds will be used on Degenerate Art Ensemble’s 9th Album.   Among those in attendance was our CELEBRITY GUEST BLOGGER, the wonderful composer/performer John Osbold of the unmatched magnificent band AWESOME . John was kind enough to post his experience of the night here on this blog. We will be posting actual sounds of the event shortly.

On a rainy Tuesday night at the fantasticYoungstown Cultural Arts Center in lovely West Seattle, a troupe of adventurous souls met with the mad scientists of DAE to create a smorgasbord of sounds for the upcoming album & show…
