Mixing Desk Tapestries
Description: This one goes out to all the people on the other side of the glass partition. We know that producers, mixers and sound engineers make music just as much as singers and musicians do. So, whether you remember the glory days of two-inch tape, or you do everything on your MacBook Pro... if you know your talkback from your crosstalk, if you know when to insert and when to send, then you can wear this t-shirt with pride. You rock :-)
Description: Originally built as a post office in the early '50s, the building at 1014 N. Vine Street in Hollywood was eventually repurposed as a recording studio by Andrew Berliner in 1967. Calling his new venture Crystal Industries Recording Studio, Berliner's innovative acoustic and electrical design has his new studio quickly becoming one of the premier recording facilities in Southern California. The studio was known simply as Crystal Sound, which was both a nickname and a descriptor of the magical tonal qualities the space and its custom-built electronics were known for capturing. The client list is a veritable who's who of artists from the '60s through the '90s. Crystal would change hands in 2000 and become a private studio under a new name.
Description: A flat, stylized representation of an audio mixing console fills the upper portion of the composition. Below it, bold text reads "audio engineer", followed by "/audio engineer/" in a slightly smaller font, and "wizard, magician" in the largest font. The console features sliders, knobs, and readouts in shades of blue and gray.
Description: A cute comic drawing of a yellow cat wearing a blue shirt, with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, at the mixing desk, and a purple background. The animal dj is not as rare as you think. This funny music producer kitty cat can also play keyboard, and likes to pose for her portrait, while mixing her latest top ten hit. A doodle for kids, and looks great on face masks.
Description: A cute comic drawing of a black dog wearing an orange shirt, with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, at the mixing desk, and a blue background. The animal dj is not as rare as you think. This funny music producer puppy dog can also play keyboard, and likes to pose for his portrait, while mixing his latest top ten hit. A cartoon doodle for kids.
