Tuned Out

A few hours ago we wrapped the Tuning Concert for the concert hall. The musicians are wiped. The crew is wiped. And yes, the stage is wiped. This evening's performance was a success and enjoyed by all...and only a few (ok, more than a few) incidents that the audience would never know about. During the performance, the accoustician demonstrated the unique features of the hall. Several aspects of the hall can be adjusted to alter the accoustics including 3 baffles and 4 sets of accoustical drapes. In this way the hall can be transformed from opera to symphony to jazz to rock to single speaker....further, the hall is intended to serve as a concert hall and a theatrical space. Rather than construct two separate spaces, an accoustical shell was built to move from a garage to stage. (You can see the shell move for the first time here). To see this engineering feat move is truly amazing. We are all looking forward to future performances in this space.
