A medium-sized church based just outside of Orlando, FL hired me as an audio and production consultant and asked me to review their production situation and recommend upgrades, implement new equipment and procedures, and train their volunteers. It is an organization that is made up of full-time staff and volunteers, all working together in different facets.
After moving to Indiana from Missouri, I began freelance audio engineering and consulting for local and regional artists and organizations. One such organization was the Encore Performing Arts Organization.
Encore is a local board in northern Indiana that organizes and produces music and performance events year round. In the summer months, they produce a music series called “Music in the Park”, showcasing regional and national artists at the local outdoor amphitheater.
In late January I came across an organization called FAWM.org. That stands for February Album Writing Month. The concept is simple: write music every day with the goal of creating at least one half a song a day, resulting in a 14 (and a 1/2) song album at the end of the month.
