The interview is tomorrow.

John G. · « **Reply #152 on:** October 06, 2025, 07:38:21 PM »

But I doubt I will be asked to roll my tongue.

Oh. In that case, maybe you should try it.

Oh, one more thing...

BK was talking about the sound of theater recordings.

I had occasion to re-listen to The Light in the Piazza over this past weekend.

I still love the score and its hyper-romanticism. But I was really disappointed in the sound. The vocals have too much reverb, and they are buried way back in the mix under the orchestra.

I have started Isle of Dogs. It’s not my favorite Wes Anderson flick.

Good night, all.

bk · « **Reply #157 on:** October 06, 2025, 09:16:41 PM »

Finished with my viewing.

Weird movie, all shot in LA.

bk · « **Reply #159 on:** October 06, 2025, 09:17:34 PM »

In 1973.

bk · « **Reply #160 on:** October 06, 2025, 09:17:46 PM »

Not released until 1976.

Other than the last bits of Bunker Hill and a couple of nice street shots downtown, this director person is more interested in filming signs and traffic lights and adult marquees and strip clubs, never getting wide enough to actually see where we are. Other than the Hollywood sign, I'm not sure anything else was shot in Hollywood, odd for a movie called Hollywood 90028 (and a zillion other titles). I have to read up on it to see what's what.

Was listening to the new recording of Love Life, all of which is on YouTube - but I'd have to see a track list to figure out the order. First impression, sound-wise, is that like most albums today, the sound is dead - muffled, the band sounds tinny because it's in a dead room and no air (reverb) has been added. I'm so over people producing albums who know zip about how theater albums should sound, i.e. like you're there, present, like any Goddard Lieberson album.

That's really too bad.

I did order it, so I'll eventually get it, but I hope to listen to it soonly.

George · « **Reply #164 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:11:26 AM »

Tonight was our off-book night.

George · « **Reply #165 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:11:50 AM »

As usual, not entirely there, but I'll get there.

My second act stuff is my (as Glossop) death scene in the first scene, then ensemble stuff throughout act two, then I'm the minister at the end.

George · « **Reply #167 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:13:51 AM »

I was also the minister at the end of Mamma Mia! when I was in it at that theater, too!

When I was driving hone from rehearsal, I was listening to the SONDHEIM Book-of-the-Month recording.

George · « **Reply #169 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:15:15 AM »

George · « **Reply #170 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:15:58 AM »

It was recorded so low that I had to turn my speaker up to almost full volume to hear it!

George · « **Reply #171 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:17:11 AM »

The On Broadway channel on Sirius XM radio can be kept at a comfortable level 12, but for this CD it was over 25!

George · « **Reply #172 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:17:27 AM »

I think it goes up to 32 or so.

George · « **Reply #173 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:20:52 AM »

Anyway, I brought the CD set to my TV room where I have my still-working Winows XP computer with the Creative WaveStudio .WAV editor program.

George · « **Reply #174 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:21:50 AM »

First, I ripped the CD to .WAV files, then I was able to raise the volume on the files without it getting distorted.

George · « **Reply #175 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:22:22 AM »

Now, I'm going to burn new CD-Rs and see if that makes a difference in my car.

bk · « **Reply #177 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:23:07 AM »

Bleccch.

bk · « **Reply #178 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:23:26 AM »

One amusing Facebook thing from a couple of days ago.

George · « **Reply #179 on:** October 07, 2025, 12:23:58 AM »

AND, I want to see if my car will recognize the metadata on the new CD-Rs and display any title or track info.
