So while things were slower than usual in the past year or so there have been some interesting things happening in Frugal Land.
At Frugal Control I’ve had a few projects come through. Late in ’09 I did some interesting dialog cleanup for a documentary on 9/11. I also provided mastering services for the second album from Kamikaze LTD, After Radio. I mixed a track on this one too. Bonus points to anyone who figures out which one. Kamikaze is made up of friends and alumni I know from both City Honors and Binghamton University, as well as noted buffalo Bassist Jim Wynne. I’ve functioned as something of a technical adviser since they began.
That was followed with a release concert for After Radio held at Buffalo’s Alt Theatre. I handled lighting along with shooting some still and moving pictures. Also did some authoring work to prep Jim Siniscalchi’s video for projection.
Summer of 2010 also included my 9th annual trip trip to work the COGIC AIM Convention, this year in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Then after a lot of bureaucratic hassle I signed on as part of the crew at a local venue. I’ve decide not to name the venue here for a host of reasons but I’ll talk about some of the shows as I go along. Many of the artists are great (some not so much). The crew is decent and there’s some great gear too.
