Branford Marsalis Quartet, Amsterdam
A DVD recording project at the Small Jazz Club, Buimhuis,
a very intimate 400 seat jazz club (plus a lot standing!), with
seats surrounding the stage. The film crew used 6 HD
cameras to capture two performances on two separate
nights. To achieve the desired 3-D sound effect for the
DVD, this had to be an "audio first" project. The Holophone
was given top priority in it's placement.
The Holophone was placed directly above the front-center
stage position, sonically clearing the stage monitors and
about ten feet off the floor angled slightly down, with the
rears rising to pick up the crowd behind. Spot mics on the
essential bass, drums, saxophone and piano were
recorded separately, to be combined on mix-down with the
Holophone tracks.
The DVD, "A Love Supreme Live in
Amsterdam" is available at music
stores worldwide through Marsalis
Music.
Kentucky Derby
Holophone H2-PRO's were used for the NBC Sports broadcast of the 131st Kentucky Derby from
Churchhill Downs in Lousiville, KY. The main ambience Holophone mic was hung under the balcony
at the finish line, where the main hi-def cameras were placed, high up in the stands with the "nose" of
the H2-PRO pointing toward the track. This placement provided a realistic and three-dimensional
ambience to the overall surround mix that worked with the perspective of the hi-def picture, the result
was broadcast via Dolby Pro-Logic II.
