Welcome to the world of Frank Doorhof.

Its fun To experiment with different solutions to get cool looks. As you probably know I'm a big fan of focussed light sources, and the gobo projector is of course an awesome light shaper that does this and so much more. The Gobo projector I'm using is the Westcott Lindsay Adler version.

The idea came to test out a device you probably would not expect in a recording setup. An Hi-Fi stereo VHS recorder. Now it may seem weird, but it's not. When I grew up, most music was spread on tapes and even with Dolby noise reduction and great players the sound quality was nothing near the very expensive CDs. Until we started to experiment with BetaMax and VHS recorders. Especially the Hi-Fi VHS recordings sounded great. Beta was still beter but compared to even the best cassettes this was a huge step forward, and you could get loads of music on one tape.

For me when I think of Christmas I always see a Charles Dicksens like scene, but with more warm tints and of course glowing lights. Let's say a bit Fashion vs Charles Dickens. During a recent session in our studio I joined the group for the last setup in building a small set with a Christmas tree.
