Show #147 Release date: 7. February, 2010

I'm still working on the syncing project. So in the meantimem heres a quick podcast I whiped up thanks to Brain Damaged listener Jim Gilbert of Montgomery, Alabama who emailed "Why not the New Orleans Superdome show to feature in a podcast, to celebrate the Saints? (I'm actually a Pats fan, by the way.) It could work either way if they win, it's a Floydian lagniappe. If they lose, it's a consolation prize for all Saints/Floyd fans."  Excellent Idea!  Suggestions are always appreciated so keep sending them in.

Hello braindamaged listeners...  I figured I'd pop in and give a little update just in case you are wondering where/when the podcast is...  It's in the works and has been for a while...  I am considering posting something in the meantime but I'm so immersed in what I'm currently doing, its hard to think of something else.

Anyway...  During the Holiday break I was given a recording of a Floyd gig from the taper himself.  Funny thing too is I met the taper at the exact spot where it was recorded 22 years ago.  That's a hint by the way...   His recording is really good, with little crowd noise but had a lot of hiss.  Not long after, I found another recording of the same gig but the sound was much better but had crowd noise and two very wasted girls nearby.   After listening to each intently, I discovered that one recording picked up particular sounds that the other didn't and vice versa.  I know the venue very well (there's another hint)  and I can tell where each taper was located just from listening...but anyway, it got me thinking how it would sound if I put the two together.  So that’s what I've been working on. 

I already remastered both but more so with the better sounding of the two and I'm using the lesser one as an ambient filler if you will.  The process of syncing the two recordings is very tedious due to the recordings being at different speeds and to top it off the speed shifts throughout the lesser recording making the process even more difficult.  The result however dramatically adds to the atmosphere.   I can't wait to finish it.  

Thanks for your patience!

Doc
