Matthew Olson VCjj Clackamas Prin WednesdayjiNov. 9’, 20 Recording studio on air Sam Krause The Clackamas Print There has been much excite ment over the Niemeyer build ing’s state-of-the-art recording facilities, but not much has been said about the difficulties of bringing the largest record ing facility in Oregon to life. Recording class Instructor Brian Rose is a driving force behind the recently developed Electronic Music program. One of his main concerns has been the budgetary constraints of outfitting the new studios. “First, we had to cut about $500,000 from the building.” Rose said. “[The] first cuts were in the recording studio.” That didn’t stop him from making sure the college’s new recordmg facilities were top of the line. To ensure this, he went down to Ashland to look at the high school’s Fine Arts Center, the Elizabethan Stage, and the new “black box” theater, called the New Theatre. Rose also had to install all of the compressors, effects pro cessors and other components himself to save money. One of the biggest money savers was the donation of a 56- channel Mackie sound board by Clackamas alum nus and “Family Guy” musical composer Ron Jones. This year the college has intro duced a two - day Movie Making and Music class, which will inte grate profession al recording and video produc tion. The classes will be held Nov. 18 and 19. “Students are just dying to do film and televi sion broadcasts,” said Rose. The recording studio is already being used by Rose’s recording classes, Mrisic students also use the studio to record them- selves and evalu ate their progress. The studio will be operatio by Thanksgiving, and will completed by Winter Term, TOP RIGHT: Instructor Brian Rose in the process of getting the studio up and running.] BOTTOM: The nearly completed recording studio will be used by the music department as both a classroom and a tool for music students.
