Complex systems. Seamless experiences.
I write about audio, AV systems, and the people who build them. The pieces here come from 30-plus years in live production and AV integration, and each one starts from something that happened on a job site, at a console, or in a meeting.
One idea runs through all of it: buy for the application, not the spec sheet.
