SUMMARY:Fantastic Negrito Engineering Team
DESCRIPTION:The San Francisco Audio Engineering Society welcomes the engineering crew behind the Bay Area’s own multi-Grammy winning Fantastic Negrito’s latest two albums\, Please Don’t Be Dead\, which won the Best Blues Contemporary Album Grammy in 2019 and the newly released Have You Lost Your Mind Yet? \nNahuel Bronzini\, Zollie Fears\, Migui Maloles and Trevor Orriss will discuss their collaboration with Xavier Dphrepaulezz—the singer-songwriter/producer who records as Fantastic Negrito\, and how they translate his creative vision into each album. The engineers will show files and demo songs to illustrate and explain their work process\, demystify the secrets to creating a great independent album and answer your questions. Part way through\, Xavier Dphrepaulezz will also join our meeting to talk about his vision of the relationship and process between the artist and engineering team. \nSince winning NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert in 2015\, Fantastic Negrito has released three albums filled with his unique sound\, choosing to work in small Bay Area studios\, including Dphrepaulezz’s own Blackball Universe\, with local independent engineers\, reuniting most of the Please Don’t Be Dead team for this year’s Have You Lost Your Mind Yet? \nJoin AES San Francisco for this special lunch time meeting\, which will happen over Zoom. Advance registration through Eventbrite required and registered guests can also submit questions in ahead of the event. \n \nSpeaker Bios: \nXavier Dphrepaulezz\nWhen you listen to Fantastic Negrito\, you’re invited to hear the story of life after destruction. Each song is a real story about a musician from Oakland who experienced the highs of a million-dollar record deal\, the lows of a near fatal car accident that left him in a coma\, and is now in the midst of a rebirth that took him from the streets of Oakland to the world stage. \nThe narrative of this man is as important as the sound\, because the narrative is the sound.Songs born from a long hard life channeled through black roots music. Slide guitar\, drums\, piano. Urgent\, desperate\, edgy. \nNegrito burst on to the national radar by winning the inaugural NPR Tiny Desk contest in 2015\, and has since won Grammys for his first two albums: The Last Days of Oakland (2017) and Please Don’t Be Dead (2019). His third album\, Have You Lost Your Mind Yet? was released in August 2020. \nNahuel Bronzini is a Grammy (R) Award winning music producer\, arranger and sound engineer living in the San Francisco Bay Area. He works out of Airship Laboratories Studios and his private mixing and production room in Berkeley\, CA.\nNahuel has worked with a wide range of artists\, from writing string arrangements and playing shows and engineering studio sessions with R&B legends Tony Toni Toné!\, to engineering Fantastic Negrito’s Grammy winning Please Don’t Be Dead and new release Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?\, and creating multi artist collaborations with Bay Area favorites in his own release entitled “The String Quartet Experience”. Nahuel is a multifaceted musician and producer/engineer that feels at home both on stage and in the studio.\nNahuel’s work focuses on the blending of acoustic instrumentation into pop and folk productions\, making use of chamber type ensembles such as string quartets and horn sections as a complement to the work of solo artists and bands.\nAs a mixing engineer\, Nahuel’s approach comes from a musical standpoint. Nahuel puts the audio tools and techniques at the service of the music and the artistic intent of the song. From folk to rock\, to r&b and synth-heavy pop\, Nahuel hears every project as a musical work beyond genre and creates fluid mixes that elevate the production and embrace the song.\nNahuel is a graduate from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and from Escuela de Música Contemporánea (Argentina)\, and studied audio and acoustics at Universidad de Tres de Febrero (Argentina). He is currently a Governor of the Recording Academy\, San Francisco Chapter and a member of the Producers and Engineers Wing Committee\, as well as a committee member for the AES SF Chapter. \nZollie Fears is an Audio Engineer and Technician\, specializing in the art of recording and mixing. Starting his journey as an Audio Engineer in 2009\, where Zollie was the go-to engineer for all his friends and classmates in high school. Recording music from Hip Hop/ Rap\, R&B\, to Rock and Roll\, Pop music and even Death Metal. Through these experiences\, he has developed a love and respect for multiple genres and the process of what goes into making music. After high School\, he dedicated himself to learning more about Recording\, Mixing\, Mastering\, Music business\, and Live Engineering for events and shows. \nStarting his growth at Chabot College\, Zollie was taking classes instructed by Michael Rosen (Grammy winning Producer/Engineer) who taught and challenged his students to really learn and “know their” stuff. Even though Zollie was probably not his favorite student (with other students citing that Zollie was sleeping underneath the desk every few days in class)\, he took to the lessons like a sponge to water and absorb every lesson and passed all the tests given to him. Zollie’s next growth stage came after leaving Chabot in 2014 to be the Music Lead for an Arts Program at a local youth center named REACH Ashland Youth Center. By teaching youth ages 11-24\, Zollie was given the opportunity to give his passion for music and engineering by teaching them about music production\, basics of audio engineering and ultimately creating music with them. In the same time frame\, Zollie participated in various recording and live music sessions learning more on the job and picking the brains of many Music Artists\, Engineers and Producers. By absorbing knowledge from AkaFrank (Music Artist)\, Duckwrth (Music Artist)\, GQ (Music Artist)\, Jason Cropper (Producer)\, Kuk Harrell (Grammy winning Producer)\, and many more\, Zollie developed and shaped his approach and views to music as making people feel than focusing too much on the technical aspects. \nIn 2018\, on a trip with his Arts Program family\, they headed to a studio space named BlackBall Universe to present Music Artist\, Fantastic Negrito\, with artwork based on his album “Please Don’t Be Dead”. During this moment is where Zollie met Negrito and was given an opportunity to stop by and do some recording work with him. By showing up at the date and time of Negrito’s choosing\, Zollie passed what Fantastic Negrito called “The Oakland Test” and began working with him and becoming part of his team. Since then\, Zollie has shared many memorable music sessions with Fantastic Negrito and continues his growth as an Audio Engineer learning from him\, the team he became a part of\, and challenging himself with other projects and ventures he’s currently pursuing. \nMigui Maloles is a 2x Grammy-Award Winning\, Multi-Platinum and Multi-Gold RIAA certified Recording Engineer\, Mixer and Producer. He has been making records since 2010 across several different genres. In addition\, Migui is an accomplished touring Front of House and Monitor Engineer. He has toured extensively mixing Front of House\, Monitors and Tour Managing since 2016 in well renowned venues\, theaters\, amphitheaters and festivals around the world. \nHis goal as an Engineer is to sonically realize and accurately translate the intent of the artist creatively\, while still preserving the integrity of their vision. \nTrevor Orriss is a freelance audio engineer and producer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is a Graduate of the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences\, an avid Radiohead fan\, and a mediocre piano player. \n

SUMMARY:A History of the Technology of Physical Modeling Synthesis for Musical Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Physical modeling of musical instruments is a fun and deeply technical topic\, drawing on many fields including physics\, acoustics\, digital signal processing and music.  Modern physical modeling technology has been in development since as early as the 1930s. At the present time\, it’s possible for each of us to be Jimi Hendrix\, with just a small device in the palm of our hands.  In 1994 physical modeling was poised to be the “Next Big Thing\,” but something happened to disrupt its evolution.   We will cover what happened\, with lots of lovely sound examples\, and why physical modeling is a big deal again! \n  \nThe presentation will be by Pat Scandalis with special co-host Jordan Rudess. \n  \n \nPat Scandalis\, CTO and acting CEO\, moForte Inc.  Pat has worked for a number of Silicon Valley high tech companies. He has held lead engineering positions at National Semiconductor\, Teradyne\, Apple and Sun. He has spent the past 26 years working in digital media. He was an Audio DSP researcher at Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). He co-founded and was the VP of engineering for Staccato Systems\, a successful spinout of Stanford/CCRMA that was sold to Analog Devices in 2001. He has held VP positions at TuneTo.com\, Jarrah Systems and Liquid Digital Media. He most recently ran Liquid Digital Media\, which developed and operated all online digital music e-commerce properties for Walmart. He holds a BSc in Physics from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and is currently a visiting scholar at CCRMA\, Stanford University. \n  \nJordan Rudess is keyboardist for bands such as Dream Theater and the Dixie Dregs\, as well as founder of the music software company Wizdom Music. \n  \nThis is a free online meeting. You need to register in advance at Eventbrite.  Sign in information will be sent out to your registered email address in advance of the talk. \nPlease register for this free online meeting here. \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Experiments Adding Height Channels to Nature Recordings
DESCRIPTION:We regret to inform you that the “Adding Height Channels to Nature Recordings” event scheduled for Friday\, April 3rd at De Anza High School has been postponed due to the cancellation of all events at this time in the De Anza theater. We thank you for your support\, and we hope to have a new date soon. \nBest regards\, \nAES San Francisco \n\n\n\n\n\nDan Dugan and Steve Sergeant\, Nature Sounds Society\n\nSince natural environments are inherently immersive\, increasing spatial resolution in soundscape recordings of those environments can enhance verisimilitude. The presenters are Nature Sounds Society recordists who have recorded in surround for many years and recently experimented by adding height channels. These recordings are made with a scientific protocol to support future biological research. Research permits are granted by National and State parks for this work\, a privilege requiring annual reports and submission of materials to the parks’ archives. Dugan and Sergeant will illustrate the microphone arrays used\, and play highlights from their recordings.\n\n\nThe Nature Sounds Society is an organization dedicated to the preservation\, appreciation and creative use of natural sounds:\n\nhttp://naturesounds.org\n\n\n\n\nDan Dugan\nDan Dugan started his career as a theatrical lighting designer\, then switched to sound. He was the first person to be credited as “Sound Designer\,” in 1968 at ACT. Dugan invented the automatic microphone mixer in 1974. His products are currently used on television talk shows\, news panels\, sports commentary\, presidential debates\, and wherever there are multiple unscripted talkers.\n\nDugan has been a technical advisor to the Nature Sounds Society (NSS) for over twenty-five years and is a board member. He has recorded soundscapes in many national parks and monuments\, including Muir Woods\, Yosemite\,  Pinnacles\, Joshua Tree\, Lassen\, Yellowstone\, Olympic\, Zion\, Bryce Canyon\, Sequoia-Kings Canyon\, Lava Beds\, and Haleakala.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nSteve Sergeant\nSteve Sergeant began his audio career in a classical recording studio\, public radio\, and on a television remote truck before transitioning to field engineering for early generations of open-reel digital audio recorders. He later worked as a lead engineer for broadcast system integration\, designing control rooms and systems for ESPN\, TV Globo\, QVC\, and many others. He is currently a staff applications engineer at Dolby Laboratories.\n\nSergeant is a long-time volunteer backpacking instructor\, and produced an early documentary podcast on wilderness recreation. As a board member of the Nature Sounds Society\, he has been conducting a research project to inventory soundscapes in Northern California’s largest state park\, Henry W Coe\, since 2017.

SUMMARY:Creative Uses of Mara Machines with DAWs
DESCRIPTION:Join Chris Mara (owner of Mara Machines and Welcome To 1979 Studio)\, 25th Street Recording\, and the AES San Francisco Chapter for a fun\, informative demonstration of creative uses of Mara tape machines with DAWs. There are tons of new and interesting ways to meld analog and digital workflows! Chris will have a Mara Machine on hand to demonstrate several of these new workflow concepts with lots of time for Q&A. Bring a stereo file and get it recorded on tape so you can hear the difference for yourself!  \nAdult beverages and snacks provided. \nAbout Chris Mara \nChris Mara is the founder and owner of Mara Machines\, the world’s largest analog tape machine restoration company. He is also a recording engineer and owns Welcome To 1979 studio in Nashville\, TN. Both businesses have been thriving for over 10 years with an impressive world-wide client list. \n \nAbout 25th Street Recording \n“Located in the hip and burgeoning Uptown district of Oakland\, Calif.\, 25th Street Recording is a modern take on a classic analog tracking room: 20-foot ceilings\, large booths\, a very ‘live’ sound and a spacious control room that is equally suited to tracking or mixing\, stereo or surround. It’s the type of studio that just isn’t being built as much today as the industry moves toward a more direct-line\, production-oriented\, in-the-box model.” —Mix Magazine

SUMMARY:Listening Party: Everything Pepper! All Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
DESCRIPTION:Join the Audio Engineering Society for a relaxing Sunday afternoon of everything Pepper. \nMichael Romanowski at Coast Mastering will guide us through different versions of the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album\, from original mono\, through stereo and on to surround. We’ll listen\, compare and discuss material from earlier versions through the 50th anniversary edition\, which includes a new stereo remix of the album\, created using modern and vintage technology which retains some of the idiosyncrasies that were unique to the original mono version of Sgt. Pepper’s. Producer Giles Martin used first-generation tapes\, rather than subsequent mixdowns\, resulting in a more clear and spacious sound than the original album. There will also be some alternative mixes and previously unreleased session tapes. \nThis event runs a little longer than usual\, so you will have the opportunity to listen\, compare and discuss what makes a historical album. For this listening party\, Coast Mastering will provide all of the included media. \nSpace is limited\, so be sure to sign up. There will be refreshments throughout the afternoon.

SUMMARY:Sonic Talespinning in “Ears Hear Now”
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe many storytelling shows currently in circulation center on narrated stories\, supported and enhanced by music\, with occasional ambiences for atmosphere and a few sound effects to illustrate particular points. Some other media\, notably sound for film and video games\, take a more intense and nuanced approach to storytelling with sound\, in which music and sound design are often active storytelling partners. \nAES SF Speaker Larry the O\nEars Hear Now is an audio-only storytelling show taking this idea a step further by making composition and production of the primary elements (dialogue\, music\, effects\, or DME) a simultaneous and highly interactive process\, and applying musical techniques across the elements\, so that D\, M\, and E exist and flow in musical relationships with each other. The result is stories told with rich soundtracks that add layers of imagery and meaning to the tale\, revealing ever more with repeated listening. \nLarry the O\, the creator of EHN\, will look at the conception and production of “The Incident\,” a fully scored\, 33-minute story just completed as the second episode of Ears Hear Now\, from several viewpoints. The O will discuss how the show was composed to achieve its emotional objectives\, as well as look at the modified audio post systems he evolved to support the unusual and extremely fluid creation process from a practical production standpoint.
