Thursday, August 24, 2023

Over the years, Showtime's partnership with L-Acoustics has proven to be a sound investment. As detailed by Marc Chauvin, Showtime's Director of Technical Operations, "In looking at our industry position, we have always been proactive about our partnerships. By being a part of the L-Acoustics provider family, we are able to leverage our experience and expertise in conjunction with the reputation and quality that L-Acoustics affords us and our clients. The support and dedication that we find from L-Acoustics as a whole, and in particular Sales Manager Jon McGarry, goes well beyond a vendor/client relationship. It is one of a complete understanding of what we need, what they can provide, and how we can all work together to elevate the client experience. Very few companies have a level of support that we are shown day in and day out, such as in the middle of the night on a Saturday, or on a holiday, or even in the random phone/email correspondences to check in -- unrelated to sales." This level of commitment has shown L-Acoustics to be an unrivaled industry connection.

Key Points: 
  • From hometown festivals to world tours, Showtime has since been working with L-Acoustics gear for well over a decade.
  • As explained by L-Acoustics, "L-ISA technology enables artists to create and deliver immersive sound for live and recorded productions of any scale.
  • Showtime Director of Operations and Production Brian Linnemann explained why adding L-ISA technology was a good move for Showtime, "L-ISA technology fits into two different segments of our business.
  • With this investment, Showtime continues to partner with L-Acoustics, now utilizing spatial audio to create immersive hyperreal experiences."

Tuesday, April 25, 2023

There is outlaw Willie Nelson, revolutionizing the country music industry.

Key Points: 
  • There is outlaw Willie Nelson, revolutionizing the country music industry.
  • There is Willie Nelson the songwriter of rare and poignant gifts, and more Willie Nelsons yet to be named.
  • The LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas recently announced the Willie Nelson Endowment Uplifting Rural Communities.
  • He catapulted to pop stardom in the 1980s but always went out on the road making music with his friends, night after night.

From Texas to Nashville and back

    • We know this in part from a curious artifact in the Wittliff Collections at Texas State University.
    • He spent the next years chasing the life in those songs, hitting the road as an itinerant performer.
    • Like most aspiring country artists, Nelson ended up in Nashville.
    • He did record, but Nelson’s flamenco guitar, jazzy phrasing and eccentric lyricism did not fit the mold of 1960s Nashville.
    • Facing personal and professional challenges that culminated in his house’s burning down, Nelson left Tennessee for Texas by decade’s end.

Rise of the outlaws

    • That album – a collaboration with Tompall Glaser, Jessie Colter and frequent partner Waylon Jennings – named a movement.
    • Outlaw country was in part a marketing move for country artists who wore their hair long, leaned into rock’s grit or wore biker leather.
    • Through it all, he kept on the road, kept recording and stuck with family, community and song.

Advocate and elder statesman

    • It was, perhaps, these ups and downs that made Nelson a prominent advocate for others.
    • He held the door open for the sorts of folks who had traditionally had a hard time breaking into country music.
    • Nelson has been an elder statesman for a very long time, but he has chosen to stay in the thick of things, even as the wheels on the bus begin to slow.
