My wife is a radio and music producer and also trains people in radio and music production. She's part of a small team that has just won a small European grant (it's about 12000 Euros) that will fund an audio project. The project is to record, produce and archive an audio map of the music in our town over a period of a year. The map will include:

Traditional songs that are passed down from person to person but have never been recorded.
All the live music events.
All the final performance and test/exam pieces from students at the music school and High school.
The Chiri performances (kind of like a carnival but focused on groups of singers who perform comical songs about topical events and 'important' people like politicians).
Flamenco
Local bands/singers.

The project also has to include training at least one local person so that they get to a level where they are able to record and mix at a semi-professional level. (She wanted the person to be at a professional level but finally accepted that 2 year, part time training isn't long enough.) That person and the studio will form a legacy for the town so that in future people can get their stuff properly recorded and mixed.

Project had it's inaugral meeting last night and the first recording is supposed to be for the Chiri in late Feb.

So between now and the end of Feb we need to put together a mobile recording, a fixed recording sound stage and mixing studio from scratch. I do mean from scratch as at present the project has yet to even buy a computer let alone a console, sequencer etc and hasn't even identified the person/s to train to semi- pro level. My wife has however decided whom she wants to do the recording/mixing training, spec the hardware and software and set up the studio - me. As there is no chance that the trainee will be ready to do the first recordings in late Feb I'll have to do those until s/he is up to speed.

She also told me that the project can't afford to pay me, which came as no surprise rolleyes.gif .

Should be a fun and interesting challenge.
