Meeting Topic: Acoustic Substitutions in integrated Recording Techniques
Moderator Name: Joël Godel
Speaker Name: Omid Bürgin, SAO Paulo, Brazil, www.omidburgin.com
Meeting Location: Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHDK), Zurich, Switzerland
The meeting took place at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHDK) in Zurich, with 9 attendees.
Omid Bürgin started the meeting by introducing himself and speaking about his very interesting way of being a music producer in Zürich, Paris, Los Angeles and then Sao Paulo in Brazil. With his musical baggage and recording techniques, he worked for a production company in Hollywood.
After this, he did a Masters degree in composition at UCLA, went on vacation in Brazil and never came back to LA...! Here, he started to build his own recording studio (www.omidburgin.com), and founded a school for music production (www.audioacademy.org). After this, Omid Bürgin explained to us the way of doing recordings in Brazil compared to Los Angeles. He gave us a lot of ideas and concepts for recording techniques such as in a bathroom, garage, closets, bedrooms, living rooms, etc, and along the way, explained that there are a lot more acoustic possibilities in an apartment or house compared to a studio. There still remains the inconvenience of outdoor noise but a lot of productions have been done in this way.
After a very interesting evening and a few questions from the students of ZHDK, several people enjoyed an Italian meal at the restaurant near the Letzigrund stadium.
