Free Local Music

Sun 20th Dec, 2009 in Local News

Real to Reel Recording Studio and the Foodchain Youth Events Program has come up with a cool idea for this Christmas – They’ll be giving local bands some free recording time and letting the punters in to experience some live music and see how the whole recording thing works.

Between December 18 and 23, seasoned sound engineer Laurie Sinagra and photographer Elizabeth Stacey will capture the action as bands come in, set up, record as many tracks as possible, and get out within a couple of hours.

Real to Reel enables audiences to access the purely physical experience of watching live music while exposing them to the equally important recording process.

The public are invited to come by and watch their favourite bands at 278 William Street, Northbridge, then download all the tracks for free later that night from www.foodchainperth.com/realtoreel
