I was thrilled to be a part of the 2018 Big Sur Fashion Show this year, even though I couldn't physically be there in person (which killed me!--since my wife, the fabulous Beverly Van Pelt, is this year's Creative Director!) I was tasked with "dealing with the music"--which in this case meant manipulating all the music to the following specs:
- Cut to two minutes
- Compressed for consistent volume across all tracks (sourced YouTube, CDs, MP3s, .m4u, etc.)
- Editing multiple songs together into single tracks, per designers' requests
- Editing different parts of the same song into a different order to better fit the runway performance
- Sweetening with additional bass, additional instrumentation, additional sound effects
- EQ for consistent clarity
And then best of all, since Beverly was also a designer (and model!), she requested that I create an original track of music just for her performance, which I gladly did (within 24 hours of the request!).
