Re: Robin Haas, Y2K3, etc



Robin,
 
Sounds great!
 
I may have missed it, but I assume somewhere in there, the artists are getting a cut?  I may have also missed the deal you've cut with them before you recorded their performances, so if I did, please forgive me.  Again, not trying to be bothersome... just trying to understand the deal ;)

Yes, there is a plan to market it on my own website of Santa Cruz things, which I am now building (it is offline at the moment), a portion toward the next Y2K3 festival, and Rick could put it on his website as well for sale. And Rick and I could also send it around to some extent to interested places, such as stations which play such music. But I am a start up, not with a big bang to do anything costly. My main intent, aside from taking on a challenge that interests me, and perhaps make a little money (hey, maybe I could then buy more recording equipment (I bet loopers can relate to that thought!!), is to help promote those who are on the CD(s) by its presence. It will be found in searches by those interested in such music, and they can look further to the individual musician's websites or place they sell their solo CDs, with the links I will put up. It could bring some sales to each musician. One reason to get the selections approved by each participant.
 
I would eventually like a few paragraphs from each participating musician, after they hear their selection, describing there music, their interest in using looping and other technology in making music (and other sounds). And, as I said, how they can be reached for further inquiries. Also, just a few sentences for the CD booklet.
 
The CD project could hop to a bigger venue, but lets finish it and just enjoy it at the moment. That is a whole other matter.

Can I just say... that I can't wait to hear this!  I'll pay you gents good $$ to finally hear some live, live-looping from this line up.  More direct inspiration, on tap.
 
I assume there's a plan to sell this, and get the artists and Robin their fair share of the cash?  I don't ask in a malicious way... just that I'm curious what the plan is?

Joe, I had room mics for your piece, but they were optimized for the main stage and you were on the second stage. With your piece, I was able to use a mix of all four channels, the room mics and the board's two channels for a tasty, I mean Phat sound, indeed. I do not think you will have much room to complain about the results, which I think I can be called stirring. It is from the end of your set.
 
When I am at that point, I will have to send everyone their completed mixdowns that I chose for the Y2K3 compilation, for their approval. That will be a time consuming, a bit costly, but necessary part of the process. I hope that is just in several more weeks. Robin

Aha!  I was wondering about that.  I wrote to tell you that I have an room mic recording of my set... if you end up using me on any sort of finished product, and want to mix in that recording, I'd be happy to send you a CD of it.  Regardless, I'd like to get your recording of me, too...
Thanks,
Joe Balestreri
