RE: [Harp-L] Low Volume...High Energy!

He who controls the sound booth and the electrical power to the amps is in
control of the volume. It's about setting an agenda and rules/boundaries and
sticking to it. Play by the rules or bye-bye. Not rocket science.

I am going to push the
fact that 3MB Music (except for the younger rock shows of course!) will be a
volume friendly venue. There is magic in the dynamics of music. Lower volume
invites people closer to the stage; lower volume makes interested listeners
"turn their ears up" and leaves room for much more intimate interaction
between performer and audience. It also lets people towards the back of the
room hold conversations. What a concept!

It is all well and good talk about the magic of lower volume. How are you
going to accomplish a volume friendly venue in performance? Just telling a
band to turn down has been less than effective in the past.........
