Techniques for Demo Recordings

Need to make a good demo recording? For his 2007 jazz and chamber music workshop sessions on the subject, David Christensen developed a Powerpoint presentation detailing the basic audio production concepts necessary to produce good demos. If you need to make a demo for Centrum workshops, or for any other reason, this presentation (which consists of the Powerpoint file and a sample WAV file) is highly informative.

A Taste of the Cistern Concert

If you missed last night's Cistern Dedication Concert, here is a jumpy cell-phone video with surprisingly good audio. The concert was, in fact, professionally recorded, so we'll try to have a good quality sound sample available at some point. This August 8, 2007 recording of Stuart Dempster, Kevin Karnes, David Marriott, and Brian Pertl was made at the dedication of the Dan Harpole Cistern at Fort Worden State Park.

Cistern4_4Join us on Wednesday, August 8, at 7 pm on the upper hill at Fort Worden State Park as multi- instrumentalist Stuart Dempster performs improvisatory compositions for didgeridoo, conch shell, and trombone as part of the dedication of the naming of the Dan Harpole Cistern.

The concert will also celebrate the Cistern’s centennial (it was built in 1907). Listen to a recording of Dempster playing in the Cistern.

Cistern_mapThis Cistern is underground, but we'll be piping the music up in surround sound to speakers on the meadow above.

We'll have volunteers on hand to guide you to the Cistern, but you can also download a map to help you get to this special concert.
