GCNE on Transmission Hour

This morning, GCNE will be taping about an hour's worth of music for a local music show that has been around for a little while, "Transmission Hour", produced by Low Budget Records.  Along with the recently completed 3rd season of weekly performances, the Camp Caravan course (which included an Orchestra-style performance for the MREC community), as well as the opportunities that have begun coming up for us, we've had no shortage of work available to us.

Chris and Brad arrive first to the studio at 8:50 a.m., followed shortly by the film crew, then Rick, Glenn, Dev, Scott and his girlfriend Shaelyn (who is serving as an auxiliary photographer of the proceedings), and Victor.  We stick to staying out of the way of the film/sound crew and choose to spend our time warming up as they prepare the space for shooting.  Truth be told, this is a welcome change for us, and our technical involvement is limited to a few suggestions on mics from Victor and some minor points.

Set-up completed, and we filter in and sit down on our respective stools; a couple of adjustments are made, a few minutes of soundcheck, and we find ourselves 10 minutes ahead of schedule, affording a few more minutes to change shirts as necessary and collect ourselves.

Back into the studio, sitting down, and cameras and audio begin to roll.

This was slightly abbreviated from the setlist we had walked in with, due to time constraints and a couple of false starts.  Also, the second "Circulation/Improv" may be in a different spot.

The tape runs out just barely after we complete the set.  A quick tear-down, and we reconvene in the green room for a quick logistics meeting (discussing the very near future and the new/possibly returning members and bringing them into the fold in true GCNE fashion).  We complete this, complete the endeavor as a whole, and take our leave of the studio.
