One of the most "fly by the seat of your pants" gigs a recording engineer can pick up is that of recording a live show. Even if you know the band, the venue, and the folks running the production there are always unexpected circumstances that can pop up. This can be both supremely frustrating and supremely satisfying to deal with. Either way it is always interesting. Whether you are looking to do live multitrack recording, or just trying to record your set at the open mic, if you stick to a few simple rules (check after the break) you'll end up with a decent product.

In the contemporary dance work ANASA, ThodosDanceChicago celebrates the richness of Greek heritage, inspired by the women of the ancient world. Composed for the final section of that work, "Breathe Again" is at first slow and mysterious, then driving and powerful, like a soundtrack for when determination leaves defeat in the past.
D.Jeremy has a remarkable talent for blending musical styles (even in the same track) without ever letting you know that he has -- an ability that must come from his incredibly diverse background as an instrumentalist, vocalist, and dancer. Born and raised in Chicago he has performed in an astonishing range of venues, from the live DJ scene to international Broadway tours. D. Jeremy's music has a sense of groove that people always love, a sense that is woven into every one of his records -- up-tempo dance tracks, guitar driven rock tunes, or slow funky pop songs.
‘Ohana is a gallery of different kinds of dance music, music for all different kinds of movement. A lot of ‘ohana’s music is club music, dancefloor music, often some sort of trance-like picture, painted on top of a Chicago house groove.
But besides club music, ‘Ohana makes music for concert dance --- music, almost visual, for original choreography. Hardly any of these choreographed tracks are club tracks; they’re classical, folk, world, or some sort of abstract landscape. But all of this music is movement music, and it’s music for all different kinds of movement.
