Victor, Rick, Dev, Brad, and Chris (scribe). Location: the gymnasium of Thacher Montessori School. We load in equipment and begin making decisions about where to set up, how to arrange the group and what mics to use to achieve a good sonic balance on the recording. There is some creativity and a lot of trial and error involved in this process; Dev takes some pictures of the final arrangement, and the other players aid him by committing their own places to memory.
Then, testing the water with some actual recording. Eye of the Needle is the first piece up to bat, then two or three takes of Third Relation, Where's the Nurse and Growing Circle. In between and to wrap things up we attempt some improvisation, with the suggestion to 'just have fun' being made for the last one of the night. We tear down and are out by 11:00.
