It was a truly rewarding experience to accept the role as lead audio engineer at this festival. The challenges faced in each venue led to a definitive feeling of pride— knowing that I raised the bar, with the expert work of my team, of course, and with collaborations from the best speaker manufacturers in the world.
I approached this project with the highest level of care, for this festival in my hometown brings the most important musical artists every year. Their audiences must be given every opportunity to hear an ultra-pure translation, from the soul of the artist, to the heart of the listener.
