What a music recording engineer actually does.

I can’t believe I’ve never seen anyone do this yet. Dave Finlayson, trombonist with the New York Phil, gets clever with his video camera. The performance is great but… I just can’t stop laughing.

Aside from the entertainment and the performance itself, anyone who wonders how a trombone works is getting a close-up look. You can actually see the various distinct positions the slide has to be held at, and the quick but fluid motion necessary to get between them for a clean change of pitch.

In case you haven’t heard / seen / tinkered with this yet… you have to watch “Old Spice Muscle Music.” And be sure to noodle around with it after the short video is done. As a drummer and sound guy I was weirdly entertained!
