(Attended 07/27/13 SA @ 7:30pm): An amusing evening for all in attendance - me included!…read more Thanks to the recent annual music event, "Make Music Pasadena" (http://www.makemusicpasadena.org/program.php), I was introduced to Muse/ique as they presented their "Summer of Sound" program, and actually won a pair of tickets ($70.00 value ea.) through a raffle at their information booth. The show I selected was "Moving Pictures" http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7ijQmFXZiGioSDvKIOxWTw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw which featured cellist Mike Haimovitz and his energetic style of playing. Honestly, I'm not familiar with Mike Haimovitz's work nor the pieces that were to be played when I selected this date, but that's the excitement of it all, isn't it, when a new experience is laid at your feet!? I parked the Toaster, scampered across the street, followed the marked path, and eventually found my seats (Section A, Row H, Table 3, Seats 1 & 2). http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hCgB6SGUPEb0C8tZbd0cBA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Although you're allowed to picnic and bring whatever you wanted to drink or eat, I already stuffed myself at an earlier event so I was good...with the exception of dessert which I bought an oatmeal raisin cookie for myself and the entire table ($2.00 ea.). http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=etzZn1KGT_4T6HZQ175l6Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Now, on to the music! The 38-member orchestra of Muse/ique was led by Artistic Director and Conductor Rachael Worby. She had a very warm and welcoming demeanor about her as we was playful with both the orchestra and the patrons. The band was equally playful, crafty, and energetic. Matt mixed in well with the orchestra and a special introduction appearance by actress Wendy Malick and vocalist/songbird, Allison Iraheta. The performance was a magnificent 90-minute nonstop auditory of the senses. The crowd seemed to be into it that ranged from kids to the elderly. Service - From the highly-present parking staff, to the hosts at the entrance, the ushers, and the women who worked the snack tent, all was good. Top rate! Parking - A separate large parking structure with plenty of stalls was used for general (i.e. FREE) parking on Wilson Ave. just off the actual campus of Caltech, with a short pathway walk to the lawn area. VIP parking was also available (cost unknown) if you're so inclined. Atmosphere, décor, ambience - You're outdoors on the flat Breckman Mall Lawn on the Caltech campus with a multitude of round tables that sat six patrons on wooden white chairs. Each section was easily designated and labeled to find your seat. You'd better be the friendly type because you were paired-up with other patrons at your table. The sound system was really nice and fit the relatively intimate confines of the area as you're situated between two buildings with the stage at one end backdropped by a rotund structure. There were plenty of monitors in case your direct view was obstructed. I found one snack tent at the back end of the lawn and noticed a wine table once I entered the lawn area (I believed they sold by the cup). Attire - It was totally casual, so if I weren't coming from an earlier event I'd normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops...but make sure to have a long-sleeve top just in case. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my first time experience with Muse/ique and wished them the best for a long and prosperous tenure as another outdoor music option in Los Angeles. Sure, you had the world-famous Hollywood Bowl and Greek Theatre just to name a few, but if you truly wanted an intimate feel, this was for you. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total bill was around $12.00 based on the food I bought; no tip required), but I planned to return in the very near future. And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX!

MUSE/IQUE is a non profit orchestra founded in 2011 that hold concerts in unique venues. They have…read more4 different concert programs that include Uncorked (concerts in unique venues, for example, a small concert was in the Rose Bowl Locker Room last year according to a member we met), Free For All (free concerts for the community), Sound of Summer (an amazing concert series performed during the summer at Cal Tech) and KIDS/IQUE (concerts thats geared towards youth). My husband and I went to the Summer Of Sound Jazz Genesis last Saturday (the 2nd concert of a 3 part series during the summer) on Beckman Mall Lawn. We sat in the reserve section, Table G4 (tickets are $50 per person). We ate before we came and brought some drinks, fruit and dessert to enjoy (this is a bring your own food and drinks type of concert... alcohol is welcomed. There is also a cash bar so you can buy a drink if you forget to bring some with you). These two people who sat at our table (each table sits 6 people, but we only had 2 other people sit at our table, which was nice to have a little extra room) were very nice and are members of MUSE/IQUE and told us that we were in for a real treat for tonight's concert (as we told them it was our first time checking out this event). The concert itself was a beautiful nonstop 90 minute musical performance. Towards the end of the concert were some dancers and also some interesting visual effects that accompanied the music well. For this concert, the theme was songs from the famous Leonard Bernstein (American composer and conductor, who composed songs for the musical West Side Story for example). The musical talents and featured singer was truly amazing! I was just wowed from the beginning til the end of the concert and wished there was more! Now I just wanted to mention a few things. That even though these concerts (outdoor) are during the summer, it actually was rather chilly around the time when the concert started (7:30 pm) and wished I had brought a blanket or a warmer jacket with me (they do sell blankets here by the way). Also restrooms available are portapotties. I thought they were descent and didn't have any problems using them. However, it seems that the water ran out towards the end of the evening, as my husband said the toilet he used did not flush and water was coming out very little for him as he tried to wash his hands (but when I had used the restroom earlier in the evening, running water was available). With all of this intel that you now know of this event, make sure you make MUSE/IQUE's Sound of Summer program part of your summer plans in the future because this event should not be missed! (The next one will be on Saturday, Aug 29, Part 3: Westside Story).

If you need to rent any type of equipment for recording music, this is the place to go! I help…read moreorganize live shows around the LA area and after speaking with several other places in the Valley and Hollywood, The Hook Studios was able to offer me the most affordable service. I rented two high-quality microphones for the price that others were offering for one microphone! The owner Mike, also threw in two mic stands at no charge. Mike is friendly and really knows his stuff! He has a wide variety of microphones and is very knowledgeable about recording and the music industry. He has worked with artists like the Foo Fighters, Gavin DeGraw (when you walk into his office, you'll see the album plaques on the walls!), and tons of indie artists too. The first time I rented equipment from him, I got to use mic stands that had just been used be Feist while she was recording her new album! He also makes really cool custom mic filters and does some CD manufacturing, I believe. Check out his website for more info.

He set up about 7 mics for me to try out and figure out witch one would be the best fit for my project and voice. We spent 2 hours at his office, at no charge and he allowed me to record my voice with each microphone in order to find out which one I liked best!!! I don't think anyone can beat Mike's prices also. He rents his gear for half the price others will ever offer you. Another cool thing that I found very helpful was the custom pop filter that he rented alongside with the mic. I always hated those classic big mic-pop filters that you would have to stick your nose into the fabric to get the softer, sweeter sound. He's pop filters are just perfect. I wish I knew about this a long time ago!!! When I returned the mic and the pop filter, I told Mike how helpful his pop filter was and he offered it to me as a gift. He also offered me a free day rent for the mic. Who does that?? Bottom line, if you need a great quality gear to rent for a really good price, this is the place to go! I will be definitely doing business with HOOK STUDIOS in the future!
