Trumpet Day

Today was trumpet day here at DeLeon Studio and Andrew the human bellows was in good form. Here is a shot of him in front of some very fancy soundproofing I call curtains. There is a ton of construction in my neighborhood right now because I live in an area affectionately referred to as "the footprint". These blocks are the proposed future home of the NJ Nets and a slew of other unfortunately designed high rises. I'm not sure what construction has begun. I think it involves the underground. Anyhow, it's noisy outside and as a result our completed record, will reveal the ambient sounds of urban progress if
given too close a listen.

Even though my neighbors have likely developed high thresholds for unwanted noise due to the constant parade of backhoes and dumptrucks, I thought it would be polite to tape the hexagonal notice you see in the 2nd photo to my door. The couple neighbors I ran into said they didn't mind in the least. Thanks neighbors. You'll be missed after the dismantling.
