🧵 … I thought, I was the FOH Overlord.

But in the end, all that remained was… FOH overload.

… oh, and did I mention the jazz trio? You can see the pianist's face at least. But mic'ing up that #grandPiano was one of the easier things I did in those last two days. I had a pair of #Neumann #Mcm114 with me.

(My photo camera would go mad when I had other colors on those onion rings hanging from the ceiling, these are actually RGBW…and my workload didn't allow for any camera settting other than full auto.)

Sometimes it's really hard to #imagine something. Like who invented and built the first #piano. 🎹 🎶 🎵

Because who would come up with such a crazy idea as building a giant box, shaping strings out of metal, installing 60, 70, or 80 of them, and tuning them? Traveling to Africa, killing an elephant 🐘 to carve #keyboard keys from its tusk, only to clamp them into this musical instrument to operate the countless tiny hammers that, in turn, make the strings sing? 🤔 🤪

🤔Wow, who knew that shoving a 40-year-old text editor into a #smartphone could be “pretty good”?📱😅 It’s like fitting a grand piano into a Smart Car—sure, it’s possible, but why on Earth would you? 🎹🚗
