November 2019 MSP Audio Geeks meetup

Tuesday, November 26, 2019

The November 2019 MSP Audio Geeks meetup is Tuesday, November 26th from 7-9pm at In The Groove Music. Thanks to Drew Lerdal for coordinating this!

From their Facebook page:
We do music: original and licensed. We are composers, producers, artists, and bands. We use the power of music to connect with each other, with the world, and with you. For over fifteen years, we’ve helped brands break boundaries and communicate ideas.

Original Music:
We listen. We connect. We create. Music is our language of choice: beyond the written word, beyond the visual image. We compose award-winning music for television, advertising, movies, artists, and more.

Licensing:
We listen. We seek. We sign. Performing artists. Touring Bands. Musicians who tell their story, their way. All of our artists are fully represented by us and fully cleared for any usage: television, advertising, movies, video games, and more.

Invite your friends & join us for an evening of audio geekery! All are welcome to attend. If you are planning to attend please RSVP to mspaudiogeeks at gmail dot com.

If you have a venue suggestion for future MSP Audio Geek meetups, please email mspaudiogeeks at gmail dot com.

Audio Society of MN Meeting

Tuesday, November 19, 2019

From the website:
On November 19th we are very fortunate to present Mr. Brandon Lauer of Shunyata Research! Shunyata was founded in 1997 by former military scientists. Based on work in ultra-sensitive data acquisition systems they have become a leading manufacturer of cabling and power conditioning in the audio industry.

We all look forward to an extensive presentation on power conditioning, power cables and interconnects.

This will be our final meeting of 2019; we’ll reconvene after the holidays with our Bring and Brag meeting on January 21, 2020.

Join: Individuals may join the ASM at any time by paying the annual dues of $25 at any meeting. Club dues for those who join after our December break are just $15.
