Taking a bare-bones course from the brilliant Lloyd Boldman, and getting help early on from Scott Berry I slowly gained expertise in Popular Music History. By the mid-late nineties I wrote the Music History textbook, still used today. An exciting way to learn and grow from my classical and jazz roots.
1st of many of my outside projects I brought to Full Sail. (Studio V) This one was a film shoot using a rented cyclorama. My first encounter with a food designer. Hired JACK MEZO as my producer.
EarthTone Drums Concert at Bennet Road Show Production Facility by student and drummer Jesper Nordqvist
Groove listening exercises: Created "Turnaround" on Synclavier and duplicated it at the same tempo, but moved the backbeat around by +/- 10-50ms. Once students heard the difference, we listened to recordings to identify the timing.
Music for the Six Flags Batman Stunt Spectacular.
A series of spots. I hired James Bullard and Loyd Boldman to write the scripts, I hired character VO actors and engineered/edited it myself on Synclavier in Suite 3.
