Back to Alternative

Daniel Hojka — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 11:50:00 +0200

Last saturday evening – I don’t remember the last concert where I had so much fun turning up the volume to 99-103dB(A) ... three bands, the first one not worth mentioning, the second one pretty cool (brought the smile back to my face) and the third one veeerrrry nice.

Actually I do not accept jobs like these anymore, but this was a exception as a friend of mine was desperately looking for a sound tech for this evening and I had nothing else to do. Funny enough that this gig pays my brand new Weber grill (and a horrible parking fee … 8)

Electric Vibes at the Generalmusikdirektion

Daniel Hojka — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 20:25:00 +0100

A short 3G clip that I made with my mobile during the last Jazzbigband Graz rehearsals at the GMD here in Graz. We chose this location, because the decent sound system allows us to experiment with the overall sound. This program is intentionally going to be something totally different, straight meters, pumping bass drums, pushing double bass, texturals keyboards and piano, (Ableton) live electronics … more power lounge than jazz.

I couldn’t resist and made a (inferior!) transition in FCS from what was captured by the mobile’s microphone and what really got on tape (17 musicians into 40 channels, using 20 compressors mixing to stereo). Obviously the audio was recorded later on that day, so it doesn’t really fit into that scene :))

Cats like weird music

Daniel Hojka — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 19:52:00 +0100

I guess now it’s official. I had a concert last week that usually would not be worth mentioning (shitty tiny club), but this was actually the first time in about 12 years of live mixing a cat was in the same room.

The first band of the evening was some kind of a retro synthie revival group, a guitar player and another musician playing almost broken kiddie synthies from the last century – brilliant!

I shot a small clip with my new mobile (still love you – N73), just to remind me of this unbelievable strange mood that everybody was in during their performance. Enjoy!

Müller - The Movie

Daniel Hojka — Mon, 13 Mar 2006 12:25:00 +0100

This is what comes out when a couple of students of stage design and sound engineering try to make a short movie. You wouldn’t believe the amount of work in these few minutes… You’ll need Quicktime 7 or an appropriate h264 codec to watch the movie (in fact it’s encoded with the iPod default preset).

Brucknerhaus or The Night Of The Blue Rose

This is the media file of an article on www.toningenieur.info. The media itself is a short movie taken with Sebi’s digicam from FOH, I decided not to delete it because of it’s educational component :)
