We’re finishing up mixing Part 1 of my poetic podcast, Miss Experience White. I know I’m biased, but honestly, with the immersive sound design, it sounds perfectly amazing. Miss Experience White: Part 1, Vision & Revelation debuts on November 13th.
Recording the final voice track went great. The only hitch was the performer, hamming it up. I don’t want to apologize. After all these months of lockdown and no live performing, I found myself with an audience of 2, my co-producers Dave Lawrence and Jim McKee, in the control room. What’s that I hear? Laughter? Yee-Haw! My acting ham took over and ran wild. Eventually I got my ya-ya’s out and toned it down. Radio is an intimate medium, after all.
Last week all the additional music entered the mix. World-class musician Omar Ledezma Jr., with whom I briefly studied Latin percussion, plays a beautiful part on one poem. On another, we paired Dave Mihaly, known for his textural drumming style, with accomplished bassist Daniel Fabricant. They came up with some evocative sounds.
Mark your calendars for Lucky Friday, the 13th of November. And speaking of calendars, John Seabury is busy crafting the 2021 Miss Experience White wall calendar. The December blog will be about our inspiring collaboration and I’ll be taking pre-orders for the calendar soon.
In the meantime... Vote! And make sure your friends vote, too. To paraphrase a favorite quote of mine by Edmund Burke, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.”
