My First Gig at RED ROCKS! Lighting Zomboy @ Global Dub Fest

My first time at Red Rocks Amphitheater was AMAZING. In this video I talk about my programming timeslot management techniques. Sorting your own priorities is important when time is limited.

    ALIAS you guys are over explaining what we said Thriving to be like someone doesn’t mean to be a copy of him nor copy his work Being in the music business wether you are a musician, an audio technician, or a lighting technician is no easy pickle it takes big effort And we are hoping to land a career and future just like his doing the thing we love the most just like him

    I find these videos fascinating. I am a full time musician in Ottawa Canada, been playing music all my life, and I have seen a slow but steady decline in the live music scene. I do not think my line of work will ever completely disappear, but in some sense, I feel like the digital age is a fully loaded freight train hurtling down the tracks with no breaks and at this point it is just an unstoppable force, and seeing things like this on KZread, I can see why. These DJ's are the new age rock stars, and with the slickness in production paired with incredible light shows, its just an overload of the senses, and you cant help but be mesmerized. These visual spectacles are pretty awesome I must say, and I thank you for these videos, its awesome to see what goes into this.
