hey,
i have not unsubscribed, i am back :)
i have experienced a very weird problem with the union at the carnegie hall
last week. a piece of mine for "classical guitar and digital playback ( or tape
)" was scheduled to played by the turkish guitar virtuoso cem duruoz. the piece
includes live classical guitar and cd playback. this is a 10 min piece. all i
need for a setup like this is 2 decent active speakers, 1 monitor and a cd
player. the guys at carnegie hall told him that they would need to be paid 2000$
to use the system there. even if cem brought all his equipment to the hall, he
would still have to pay this amount because the sound engineer guys belong to
the union it seems. this is the weirdest thing i haver heard in along time. is
this really true? they told me that a lot of the venues in usa that include
mostly acoustic music ( classical most probably ) seem to have this attitude.
Looking fwd to your comments and experience about this issue.
