Anyone catch this documentary on the Sundance Channel lately?

Some behind the scenes studio footage recording Richard Thompson and
others for the Grizzly Man soundtrack. He sounds great, and it's
interesting to see some of the miking techniques. Stereo pair on his
accoustic.

Also while on the subject of studio notes, here's some interesting ones
from one of my favorite 'oldies' albums which I've been listening to
lately. David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name". Beautiful
record.

Interesting to see the studio (Fantasy Studio B) where I had just
recorded another Discovery Docs sound track the week before. Also
interesting to see how quickly Herzog ushered Henry Kaiser out of the
tracking room & back into the control room, to define his role as
producer, not player. Thompson sounds great, naturally. For all his
bold eccentricity as a filmmaker, Herzog shows himself to be deeply
musical in his approach to marrying the track to the visuals. I've
never seen a director that centrally involved in the shaping of the
music.

Saw it and wondered why Werner was there as if he were the producer, but
hey, when you get paid to play, you get the payer along with the music.
Interesting to see Richard trying to incorporate Werner's comments in a
musical way, but mostly I saw him simply accept what Werner said and he
mostly played it like he heard it anyway. Seemed to me that Werner doesn't
understand the concept of music with film, and he even somewhat said the
same thing since he rarely uses music to make emotional points in his films.

Werner's Loch Ness movie was a hoot, though. I never knew he actually had a
funny side. Gives me another reason to look forward to new works from
anyone. You actually can learn something new about someone you thought you
already knew.

You and I must have seen different documentaries together! g I though
Werner was nebulous with his "producer" status, and in most any other
environment he's have totally lost the musicians. Luckily for him he had
Richard Thompson play and leading the band. Music was superb, Werner would
have ****ed me off! g

I loved that album too but I like the first Crosby/Nash album better.
Hell, I even borrowed one of the song titles :-)
