Hi folks- As many of you from Boston are well aware, the TOGETHER 2011 Festival is now in full swing! What I am going to do is each afternoon, I am going to post quick recaps of the events that took place the previous day, including any important take-aways, photos, video, or other cool things. As one of their event photog’s, you can see to it that I will be at the majority of these events, documenting them as thoroughly as possible.
Because I have the week off work, I’ll also be attending some of the daytime panels as well. They’re all free; and be sure to check the TOGETHER Schedule for times, locations, and other important info.
Wayne Marshall will be giving one presentation at 3 in Northeastern on the art of remixing (77 St. Stephen St., Boston). In case you aren’t aware, Wayne is a highly regarded local blogger and has a very wide array of musical knowledge to share. You should check out his blog when you have a chance- wayneandwax.com.
There will be a workshop at the Bristol Recording Studios (169 Mass Ave, right near Daddy’s Junkie Music Shop) on Mastering, presented by Chris Billas. I had the opportunity to meet Chris, along with Jason Blaske, when I stopped by the Studio to pick my tickets up yesterday. These guys have decades of experience and are very personable. If you check this seminar out (it starts at 6pm and goes to 7:30), bring one of your tracks with you. One lucky person will be selected at random to have their work masterd on the spot.

No daytime events yesterday to recap, however the VIP party on Sunday was a blast! Creative Director David Day presented a proclamation from Mayor Thomas Menino, effectively marking April 17, 2011 as “Together Boston Day” in the city. Angela Bray took photos of the party, you can check them out here.
Here are the pics I took at some of last night’s events:
Links Soundclash :: TT The Bears :: 4.18.2011
Pantha Du Prince :: Great Scott :: 4.18.2011
Pantha Du Prince’s set was awesome- it was a live PA-type thing, with countless MIDI controllers strewn about the table on stage like dirty laundry. Having become familiar with his body of work after recording the Together mix a few weeks ago, I could tell he was layering multiple tracks of his on top of one another, pitch-shifting and re-arranging them to make them sound cohesive. On the fly. I’m still in the dark about what that pyramid shaped thing with the reflectors on the stage was (Alex told me if Pantha has 20 minutes to spare after the set, he would explain in detail). But either way, it looked cool ;)
Below are flyers to tonight’s events. I’ll be shooting at SBTRKT, Hearthrob, Throwed (possibly), as well as some of the early evening shindigs.
