Walk in music – now there is a thought.

Recently I was asked for an idea for inspirational audience walkin music for a conference. I was thinking back to what have been past favourite’s, way back when –  it was Vivaldi, the good old four seasons, Tina Turner ‘Simply the best’ and for a while M People ‘Move on up’ and a popular choice and favourite of mine ‘Wake up Boo’ by the Boo Radleys.

All well and good, and sound engineers all have their favourite’s of current music, however, when loading a large auditorium of over 1,000 people the popular music track on repeat is not always ideal and a generic instrumental track is easier to use to expand or fade out depending on the extended time taken to encourage the audience to take their seats. I found this one recently, not used it yet but like it, have a listen

Is it really necessary for people to have to copy in half a dozen people into a simple email communication? Talk about fill time in your day fielding emails that are relevant, does this show a lack of confidence in those that do splurge emails?

Buz words heard this month include someone wanting to ‘schedule an interface’ with one of our team. It used to be called ‘arrange a meeting’ not so long a go :)

We are working with some new equipment for video and data distribution, I am looking forward to seeing the quality of the multiple images. Right, better get packing for the next off……..
