A/V Capture for Grammys!

A/V Capture for Grammys!

We are super proud to have hosted/audio and video captured Terri Lyne Carrington's project "Social Science" at ShapeShifter Lab for their virtual performance at the 63rd Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony! It was a wonderful experience recording these musicians. Though not all parties recorded at the same time or place (Terri Lyne Carrington and Debo Ray recorded their parts separately), the music and video--which was edited by Lumumba Leon Reynolds II--came out beautifully. Check it out on our showcase page!
