【GOK SOUND Workshop】
June 13th
A "PA and Recording Workshop" was held by Yoshiaki Kondo from GOK SOUND.

From 1 PM to 7 PM, we enjoyed a full six hours!

In a room at GA.KOPPER (commonly known as the Sandbag Room),
live PA practitioners, musicians, those recording their own songs, and people running live houses gathered.

At the beginning, a very important discussion on electricity, which is essential for handling equipment.
Just in time, thunder rumbled outside the window ⚡️

After a break with bagels and baked goods,
we experienced mixing songs recorded on analog tape!

We freely adjusted the knobs, bringing in and cutting out the sound of specific instruments, balancing the audio.

Watching the analog tape spin round and seeing how the sound changed with our hands was exhilarating.

In the latter half,
we improvised and recorded participants' original songs.

Amid the good tension of being recorded,
everyone's adaptability was impressive.

Listening to the sounds we played back from the tape...

Before we knew it, six hours had flown by.

I was glad to see the two from GOK SOUND again this year.
Thank you for the live PA the following day as well!!

I look forward to the day we can reunite in Nishiokoppe Village again!
