Jared Paul ’11 Wants To Record You

Wesleying has received an exclusive plea from Jared Paul ’11, Wesleyan’s own recording engineer alumni extraordinaire. Today Paul spends his days recording err’one from Mad Wow to Lioness (who??) in Brooklyn and his nights floating through clouds with a boombox and Gibson SG.

You may remember Paul from his debut LP Ubeatquitous, which esteemed colleague A-Batte likened to “Obama-sipping-whiskey-with-dinosaurs.” If that descriptor grabs your fancy, consider signing up to be his next recording victim; details appear below:

I’m a Class of ’11 grad working as a freelance audio engineer and producer. Although I’ve done the whole graduate-and-move-to-Brooklyn thing, I am trying to keep recording Wes people as often as possible! Among the Wes artists I’ve recorded and mixed projects for in the past year are Mel Hsu ’13, Mad Wow, Josh Smith ’11, Fly Machine,The New Group, Grand Father, Lioness, and The Rooks.  Some samples are here.  If you like what you hear, consider having me record your next project!

Film Series: Bringing Up Baby

BRINGING UP BABY 1938. USA. Dir: Howard Hawks. With Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn. 102 min.
Lovestruck force-of-nature Hepburn leads bookish paleontologist Grant on a side-splitting runaround in pursuit of a lost dinosaur bone, multiple escaped leopards, and his unrecoverable dignity. Unmatched for swift pace and sheer lunacy, Hawks crafts a canonical screwball comedy that captures romance as the ridiculous, chaotic disaster it is.

Date: Tonight
Time: 8pm
Place: Goldsmith Family Cinema
Cost: Free

Audition for Macbeth

Michael Steves ’13 invites you to audition this weekend for Second Stage’s production of Macbeth:

“No preparation is required – all auditionees will be provided with a scene or monologue to read.All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!

The production is going to be set in olde Scotland with a booming Celtic soundtrack and Braveheart-style costumes and warpaint. The staging, however, will have a surrealist/expressionist flair that delves into the twisted minds of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Directed by Michael Steves, assistant directed by Amara Davila, and stage managed by Hanako Rodriguez.”

When: the hurly-burly’s done Sat, Jan. 28 from 3-6pm & Sun, Jan. 29 from 2-5pm
