Akira Satake Mini Concert at Concentrix

Last night we were treated to a mini concert by Akira Satake.

Satake cd's can be purchased directily from his website.

The mini concert was held at Concentrix a premier recording and sound studio owned and operated by my long time blogging friends Becky and Fred Story.

After the concert Fred gave us an informative tour of the studios. I learned more than I ever imagined about how sound is recorded and reproduced for videos, cds, television, advertising, and nore. The Concentrix studios are a state of the art venue for recording and reproducing musical venues for any application. Day two of Akira Satake workshop up next. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
