Listen to Your Buds

Joseph Beaty — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:57:40 +0000

Bongiovi Acoustics loves Audio! We also want to be safe while we listen. We are proudly sponsoring the “Listen to Your Buds” campaign! Kids are using their portable media devices to listen to movies and music now more than ever before! Headphones and ear-buds are often used to do so. “Millions of children are at potential risk of noise-induced hearing loss. Listening to headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time can result in lifelong hearing loss. The loss may occur painlessly and gradual, often it goes unnoticed until it is too late.” (Quoted Text taken from http://listentoyourbuds.org) We urge everyone to go to the website linked in this post and learn more about keeping kids safe in sound. Take the Pledge by clicking here. Share the message on Facebook and Twitter by CLICKING HERE! We recently were involved in a PS-3 event in NYC alongside ASHA, American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, for this fantastic campaign featuring musician, Oran Etkin. We had created awareness and given away some cool swag at the event. We will follow up with a post including some video and pictures of the event very soon! So learn and share! Help make kids safe in sound!

Sasha Grey at Powerstation Studios

Joseph Beaty — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:45:02 +0000

Actress Sasha Grey was recently working as part of a TV Pilot project in our Powerstation Studios Recording Facility in Florida. She has recently been part of some pretty big things including The Girlfriend Experience and HBO’s Entourage to name a few. Sasha Grey’s love for music is no secret. She is an avid musician and DJ these days. Her industrial project aTelecine is worth checking out for sure. She has also appeared in Eminem’s video for “Space Bound” and in artwork for the Smashing Pumpkin’s album, Zeitgeist. It was a pleasure having her in our Florida studio. A pleasure to work with. Hopefully we will be seeing her again soon. You can see more photos from her recent session by clicking here. Enjoy!

Kickstarting The Berlin Boombox

Joseph Beaty — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:03:42 +0000

We are excited to announce our cooperation with Studio Axel Pfaender in creating great sound for their Berlin Boombox project! This is a really cool, retro-looking cardboard boombox for your iPhone or iPod. We have plenty of experience working with cardboard speakers (see the latest Will it Tune? episode embedded below) so we will be creating a custom profile for this unique stereo system. It will be a kit that comes with all high quality cardboard parts as well as a plug-and-go battery powered amplifier and speakers. Here is a video from their website:

This project is being funded by a Kickstarter.com campaign where you can make donations to see their creation come to life in the market. Go check it out and help them reach their goal! (Also: Enjoy our Will It Tune?! Episode featuring cardboard speakers below!

Why Do You Love Music?

Joseph Beaty — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:06:59 +0000

Why do we love music? Is it the beat? Is it a particular lyric that hits home with a personal experience? The way the melody gets in our heads? For some, it is the fashion that goes with it. For others, a good dose of daily gossip about the artist makes the music even better. One thing is for sure, all of these things make music something special. We all have our own ways of enjoying media. (DPS Plug-In hint hint) For example, today I found myself watching some recent live performances by Fiona Apple. There is something about her stage presence that resonates with me. I think because it is real. I also happen to really like her music. I love that she walks on stage as herself. There is no novelty about it. There is no shock rock or cannons going off at a Fiona Apple gig. Pure emotion takes the cake for me. An artist can draw me in with the realness any day of the week. Not to say that I would not enjoy a Kiss or Marilyn Manson concert, video or song. I love theatrics! I just tend to have a completely different set of emotions from artists like these. It is more like watching a TV show or Broadway show. Thinking about all the reasons why we love music also got me thinking about how we receive music and media. What kind of devices (headphones, ear buds, etc) makes the experience better for you? I personally like good old fashioned speakers in a room for most music. However, sometimes I really like the closeness I get from headphones when I am listening to singer/songwriter type stuff like Fiona or Bob Dylan for example. This being shared, why do you love music? What type of external gear helps you be more a part of the music you love? Share your thoughts. Hope you enjoy Fiona Apple performing her classic tune, Criminal live at the Bowery Ballroom March 26th, 2012 as much as I did. I know everyone is searching, “Fiona Apple New Album”. Enjoy!
