Aural States Fest at Sonar 
Friday, January 30, 2009
» all music panoramas flash or quicktime

I only recently have become aware of Aural States a mostly local (but also national) music blog which has hosted the night's event at Sonar. A dozen local bands performed live on two stages from 7:30pm 'til 2am - i left at around 1:20 and Hollywood, the last band had just finished their 3rd song at the time.

It's rare that my $10 would by me this much music - and the place filled up to the tilt by 11pm. Arriving early, I even got a goodie bag with CDs of some of the performers and some other stuff, although what exactly, I will never know since while packing up my photo gear, I left my bag behind. So if anyone found it by the club stage, please send it along - yeah, right.

The place was so dark, that it posed a pretty good challenge to shoot some panoramics and I couldn't help but recall the similarly dark Sonar space on Canton Square, which I photographed some 8 years ago. I will attempt to find the panorama to post here for chuckles. But even with the significantly more advanced equipment I had along almost a decade later, the 1600-3200 ISO images will come through grainy - not unlike the experience photographed, so I hope you still sense the feeling and the music through the noise.

Thanks to everyone attending for letting me up front for the shots.
