In case you missed Musicircus
In the final wrap-up from last week’s Musicircus, we bring to you video and audio. You’ll feel like you were there. Well, maybe without the sensation of being totally consumed by sound.
There’s no substitution for the sensation you get from standing in the middle of Musicircus, allowing yourself to succumb to the total chaos of noise. Your experience is your own, from the time you enter to the moment you leave. But if you weren’t able to be there, we have photos galore and now video and audio to assuage your absence. Thanks to Lucas Fritz for shooting video and Reggie Chapman for lending his audio recording equipment. The video is a great illustration of the chaos among all the groups, but is not completely inclusive. Our apologies to those musicians we missed in the video, but you can hear them in track #2 (the longest of the tracks) of the audio.
