Synopsis
Product Description
Epic, bizarre, melodic, noisy, surprising, and most of all .. beautiful!
In the spirit of bringing commerce-free, live music into situations where it is least expected, Oakland artists Jon Brumit and Lisa Mezzacappa announce the debut of GOLD RECORD STUDIO, a free public recording studio at the Laney College Swap meet. The public was invited to the flea market every Sunday from April 15 through May 20, 2007 to record a GOLD RECORD on the spot, with guest Bay Area musicians. The open-air, bare-bones studio was equipped with an antique record cutter, a stack of homemade blank plastic records, a full set-up of instruments, and a packed roster of guest musicians. In the first two weeks, Gold Record Studio recorded members of a Serbian prog-rock band, a record producer from Cameroon, a neighborhood video artist/indie rocker, DJ Ready Red from the Ghetto Boys, a family of amazing drummers, an accordionist who promised to return with his entire zydeco band, and a new age acoustic guitarist named Don Ho, among many others. Participants have ranged in age from about 8 to 65, and have included Chinese, Mexican and African immigrants, as well as local audiophiles, amateur musicians, and professional recording engineers, producers and musicians.
This project was supported by the Oakland City Council and funded by the City of Oakland's Cultural Funding Program.
