Afterwards we took photos in front of the building...James's photos are better, my camera is no good...
Then we went to a show for a band called "Two Mirrors" I think, and they had a showing of their first music video, it was good.....
This is an interesting combination of prints and fabrics....I liked it......
James Noir:
SO an amazing opportunity has occured and I just can't believe that it's true. I have been on the search for a lathe cutter to start learning how to cut my own vinyl for my performances. The lathe cutter I was interested in was to be flown in from Stuttgart, Germany and I would have to fly over and take a 2 day course on how to assemble and use the thing. It was a daunting task but I was willing to make the commitment to learn. Then a friend of a friend told me about an opportunity to become an apprentice to Master Lather Cutter and founder of the Audio Engineering Society, Albert Grundy. I would learn and use professional equipment from Brooklyn Phono, a Brookyln based vinyl cutting service. Amazing.....
My first task will be to find 3 missing parts for this lathe cutter. Once I find them Albert and I will re-assemble the machine and get it in working order....
Where the computer connects to send the sound file to the lathe....
To work out the low, mids and highs.....
A press that is made after the acetate has been cut...
A professional vinyl cutter....
You place the press in here and a puck of vinyl comes out that's been heated then it presses into the "press plate"....
My new school....
More updates every week and my progress....I will be planning on holding a tour of the facilities to my friends who are interested in learning the process from recording to record. When I get more info I will let you know....
