Audio for video:
I've done a lot of audio for online video of music events that were streamed and/or captured live. Here are some examples of sound recording work I've done for video produced by others:
Eli Spindel leads the String Orchestra of Brooklyn, featuring Rachel Lee Priday in this outstanding performance; recorded on a cold winter's night in historic St. Ann & Holy Trinity Church.
One of my absolute favorite projects to be involved with at Carnegie is the New York Lullaby Project Concert. If there's any proof in the universe of the visceral power of music, this is it. Grab some tissues and enjoy the concert.
Not my mix, but my recording of this fantastic Afro-Peruvian jazz orchestra at Symphony Space a couple years back, and it was a memorable concert. Here they are led by the composer/arranger himself.
Ensemble ACJW live at Le Poisson Rouge: recording a classical ensemble in a rock'n'roll club with only a half hour to set up has its challenges, but I really enjoyed this Mahler arrangement. Video by Kornhaber Brown.
- I recorded the live performance of these talented youngsters at Harlem Stage - portions of which you can see (and hear) in this video - which was given as part of their preparation for a Carnegie Hall concert in November 2010. Check out the up-and-coming talents of two of the student soloists here at 1:05 and 2:53, both of whom brought down the house. The live concert audio is my work; the dialogue and workshop audio, as well as the video, were done by Kornhaber Brown
From the Rush Hour Concert series at the Morgan Library. Video by Iconosope Productions.
Ensemble Connect/ACJW project videos
I've had the pleasure of working with this outstanding ensemble of young musicians who work under the auspices of Carnegie Hall. Here are a few of the projects I've been involved with:
Ensemble ACJW was the forerunner of Ensemble Connect. This was a fun project designed to go viral - it received 1,000,000 views within a very short period. Another production by Kornhaber Brown
Live Single-Cam Video:
I started shooting single-camera video a couple of years ago as an addition to the audio recording. Here are a few examples of my own work:
Just happened to have a camera with me this night and set it up in a corner to record, thinking "someone will want to see this someday." As a result, this video of the world-famous lutenist performing for the longest-running early music series anywhere exists.
A piece from Dr. Faustus' "Hammerklavier" concert, one of my first forays into video production, where I mixed post-concert interviews with the composers with their piece from the concert. It's a concept I still like very much.
