Tom Kobayashi, pictured here at the Manzanar Internment Camp in 1943, went on to become a respected sound engineer who ran George Lucas’s postproduction facility Skywalker Sound. After Manzanar, Kobayashi went on to serve in the US Army from 1946 to 1951, and later graduated from USC in 1953 with a business degree. His Hollywood career began inauspiciously as an accounting clerk at a film lab.

After over 20 years of running audio postproduction at Glen Glenn Sound, George Lucas recruited Kobayashi to his new Skywalker Sound division under Lucasfilm in 1985. Kobayashi finished constructing a 700,000-square-foot postproduction facility north of San Francisco equipped with top-notch technology developed by Droidworks (another Lucasfilm division), which was an R&D arm that would jumpstart Pixar.

Kobayashi passed away in 2020 but left behind a legacy of postproduction innovation that changed the sound and film landscapes.

In September 1970, with three wildly successful Las Vegas seasons and a record-breaking run at the Houston Rodeo behind them, the Elvis Presley Show hit the road for their first stadium tour of the 70s.

The itinerary and attendances were:

Sep 9 - Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Phoenix, AZ 13 300

Sep 10 - Kiel Auditorium, St Louis, MO 12 000

Sep 11 - Olympia Stadium, Detroit, MI 16 000

Sep 12 - (Two shows) Convention Center, Miami, FL 24 000

Sep 13 - (Two shows) Curtis Hixon Hall, Tampa ,FL 15 000

Sep 14 - Municipal Auditorium, Mobile, AL 10 800

For the first time, they would be working with an outside partner, pioneering stadium rock promoters Concerts West, who joined the tour on the second night in St Louis. They were in for a bit of a shock, according to Elvis biographer Peter Guralnick.

"...With RCA in charge of the Phoenix show, St. Louis was the first time that the new promoters got to show their stuff, and Tom Hulett (Concerts West) was determined that everything should be done first-class. “I went out and hired Clair Brothers to do sound...because I knew the show didn’t have a setup... I remember Tom Diskin (Colonel Parker's staff) came over to the building around noon—he had given me stage diagrams, so when Elvis walked out it would feel like Vegas. When Diskin got there, it was pretty much ninety-five percent set up the way he wanted it... All of a sudden he notices these huge boxes being moved in on the stage. He says, ‘Stop! What the hell’s that?’ I said, ‘Tom, that’s the sound system.’ He said, ‘We don’t use sound systems...There’s one in the building.’ I said, ‘Wait a second, you can’t—shit, the crowd won’t be able to hear, and I’m going to get killed with refunds—’ Then I realized: they hadn’t worked since 1956, and there were no sound systems then...I said, ‘What the hell did you guys use in Vegas?,’ and he said, ‘Just these two speakers.’ I never will forget, just these two Shures no bigger than the size of my couches if they were laid down. That was it, that was Elvis’ entire monitor system, and the house system was the house system, whatever was in the facility..." Peter Guralnick - Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley - Little, Brown and Company, 1999.

Clair Brothers continued to do sound for Elvis throughout the 1970s, and devised a rig whereby the speakers were hoisted on chains from the rafters to allow for the relatively small (and crowded) stage and not impact on arena seating, which was also sold behind the stage.

Awesome First Project Back - Powerful Sound Analysis with Artificial Intelligence and Python!!

This is a project I just completed that does powerful sound analysis on the Star-Spangled Banner using librosa, matplotlib, and numpy with Python! It's so cool, I am really excited to have completed it!

This is the program I wrote which I have a guide on how to do this project on Medium which you can find here:

This is the results of the program which is pretty cool! Here are the plots that were generated thanks to the power of Matplotlib!!

If you want to play around with it feel free, I am going to be uploading the code later to my Github!! :D My Github is: https://github.com/Newt93

Farzin Fardinfard who has 3fmusic identity is unique finance fraudster

In the labyrinthine realm of global financial scams, the Unique Finance scheme stands as a notorious emblem of deception, leaving a wake of devastation that transcends borders and nations. Amidst the intricate web of deceit, one name emerges as a pivotal figure, casting a long shadow over this fraudulent network: Farzin Fardin Fard. While renowned as a successful sound engineer and the proprietor of 3F Music, a prominent music recording studio nestled in Dubai’s vibrant cultural landscape, beneath this veneer lies a much darker and clandestine narrative.

Farzin Fardin Fard’s journey into the world of music began with an innate passion that germinated in his formative years. A musician and producer by origin, he embarked on a creative odyssey that eventually led him to the realm of sound engineering. It was here that he discovered his true calling and established one of Iran’s pioneering digital studios approximately a quarter of a century ago. While this represents the legitimate inception of his career, the trajectory of his life takes a stark and disconcerting detour when we dig deeper into his story.

Beyond the melodies and harmonies that have marked his musical journey, there exists a disquieting narrative of Farzin Fardin Fard’s alleged involvement in the Unique Finance scam. This global financial fraud network, orchestrated by individuals like him, has left countless victims grappling with significant financial losses, while he seemingly thrived in opulence.

As authorities worldwide labor tirelessly to apprehend those responsible for the Unique Finance scandal, victims anxiously await their day in court. Farzin Fardin Fard’s alleged role in this intricate web of deception has attracted international scrutiny, underscoring the dualities that shroud his identity.

This multifaceted narrative of dual personas serves as a stark reminder of the intricate world of financial fraud and the profound ripple effects it generates across borders. It underscores the importance of global cooperation in dismantling fraudulent networks, ensuring accountability for individuals like Farzin Fardin Fard, and, most importantly, safeguarding the financial well-being and trust of individuals worldwide.

As this complex story continues to unfold, it is imperative for individuals worldwide to remain vigilant and informed about Farzin Fardin Fard’s alleged involvement in financial scams. In the relentless pursuit of justice, it is our collective responsibility to shed light on the hidden truths and unravel the enigma that shrouds his actions.

Rewatching LOTR and can’t stop thinking this is how you light a night scene. Goddamn.

Never thought 20+ years on we’d be watching (sometimes staggeringly) high-budget shows and movies in which you can’t see shit and struggle to hear the dialogue > 50 % of the time.

[quotesfrommyreading]

In the fall of 1881, the world was introduced to livestreaming.

Yes, you read that right: livestreaming, where we use our smartphones or other devices to transmit a live feed of what we’re seeing and hearing to people who aren’t physically with us. There’s Periscope, Snapchat, and YouNow, but before any of those newfangled apps, there was the theatrophone.

The fall of 1881 was a notable one in Paris: The City of Light was hosting the first International Exposition of Electricity off the Champs-Élysées. The expo created a buzz, with Europeans flocking to Paris to see the wonders of electricity, from Edison’s recently-invented light bulb to Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone to a little device that seemed to fuse the two together: the theatrophone.

The theatrophone was a curious thing. The concept included wires leading from a stage into a dual-channel audio system with audio for each ear. From there, the wires would transmit sound to a receiving audio source. For the Expo, 80 telephone transmitters had been set up across the stage of the Paris Opera and connected (via cables through the Paris sewers) to rooms in the Paris Electrical Exhibition. Visitors could pick up the theatrophone and hear a live performance of the opera—more than two kilometers away from the actual stage. According to the New Scientist, it was the first-ever broadcast of stereo sound.

Over March 29th and 30th, 1977, Elvis played two shows at Rapides Parish Coliseum, Alexandria, Louisiana. This is a partial soundboard recording of the second night’s performance, during which Elvis was sufficiently troubled by malfunctioning sound equipment that he invited sound engineers Felton Jarvis and Bruce Jackson onto the stage to make his point. He also re-interpreted a line of And I Love You So to reflect his feelings on the matter...

"I guess...they understand...how bad the sound has been..."

The Alexandria Town Talk reviewed the first night’s performance, and part of this review was quoted in Peter Guralnick’s bio, Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley as a general (and not entirely fair) wider commentary on Elvis’ level of engagement and showmanship during this period;

“…Tuesday night Presley was on stage less than an hour; he was impossible to understand when (or if) he talked between numbers…he never said one word to the audience or mentioned how nice or not nice it was to be in Alexandria… He came on stage, did a few numbers and then dashed off - no encores, no extra bows, no nothing…”

The review in its entirety was not as devastating as that one paragraph, and seemed to reflect the reporter’s bewilderment over the hysteria of the fans, and the fact that the show itself was, in her own words, ‘great fun’, ‘Capital E’ entertaining, and ‘Capital P’ professional, in spite of its musical shortcomings.

The reviewer noted Elvis’ consideration in giving attention to those seated behind the stage, complimented his rendition of Early Morning Rain, joked that How Great Thou Art should have been renamed 'How Loud Thou Art', and urged Elvis to include more contemporary numbers in the set.

This show provided no warning of the disaster that would befall the tour the following night. In Baton Rouge, as showtime approached, Elvis was semi-conscious and could not be roused. The decision to cancel was made at the last minute, when the arena was already full and seated. A very quick evacuation from the city was arranged, a statement was released explaining Elvis' ill-health, and the Baton Rouge show, along with the other three remaining nights of the tour, were rescheduled.
