The Carnival of the Animals Project (2022)
Audio Engineer
In fall of 2022, I joined this grant-funded initiative as the audio engineer to 5 recordings from selected movements from Camille Saint-Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals for use within a 5 part educational video series to be distributed to elementary schools in rural communities around Indiana.
These performance recordings took place during October of 2022 in the Jacobs School of Music Auer Hall, and over the course of the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters, the accompanying educational videos were filmed and edited.
The project is currently slated to be released towards the end of the Spring 2023 semester.
Kian Ravaei, Feeling New Strength (2022)
Recording Engineer
Recorded while demonstrating recording large ensembles on a budget, Ravaei’s Feeling New Strength was recorded with a total of four microphones: an XY stereo pair and two flank microphones. While this recording was done with a budget of around $1200, the principles discussed allow for a budget as low as $600.
