I’m from Calgary, but recently moved to Winnipeg. The local music scene here is much more vibrant and the overall level of proficiency in every area of the music business seems to be higher. Apart from mixing sound, I am a vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, bassist and drummer, but my main musical instrument is the Chapman Stick. I got into being an audio tech partly out of necessity but also because I’ve always been fascinated by different sounds and manipulating frequencies to produce interesting variations (yes, I spent hours programming my own synth sounds in the early 80s). I’m on Skool because I wanted to join this group, and then I found out that there seems to be a growing trend of special interest groups moving over to Skool from Facebook groups, so I probably would have joined soon anyway!
