Out of This World Benefit for Modesto Sound
By Chris Murphy
Good sound makes a band.
This is not only an engineering skill, it is an art, and we are so very lucky to have some really talented people in our community that are doing seriously professional sound. Modesto Sound is a local treasure and has now recorded over 800 teen musicians, worked with 182 youth interns to learn job skills, and held hundreds of community radio shows and concerts. This is a professional and affordable way to make and produce music. Please join fellow music fans for this amazing fundraiser at the Portal.
Mark Oesau, once an intern at Modesto Sound, now has his own sound company and continues to give back to teens who once like himself wanted to learn more about audio technology. His reggae band A’ La Lune will be performing at this year’s event. He also works with Leonard Bowlin and they did an amazing job doing sound for Grandaddy’s first show in four years in Modesto a few months ago. This is so very cool as longtime Grandaddy producer Lucky Lew is one of the advisors at Modesto Sounds. Professional training for professional careers. Another performer will be Tristan Gianelli who attended several of Modesto Sound’s music camps. Joseph Rkyert’s opera trio, who just won The Grand Prize at the Valley’s Talent Project, recorded at the studio while in high school, and they will perform too. Good sound makes a show great, and you all know how much people complain when the sound is bad right? So let’s invest and support these new sound engineers at the benefit show.
