    3. Sure, we can give that a shot. What are the dates? And have they advertised a broadcast / livestream?

  2. i'll dig up details with ample of time :) :)

    1. You have not, so you will have to tell me that story next time we're at the same table :)

      Sorry about the blogspot problems. It used to only eat iPad comments, perhaps they've expanding their reach :/

    2. no no, am only complaining because once in a blue moon i come up with perfect english and blogspot ate it, so i end up with scramble-egg english while navigating "donuts" or "pasta" or "pickup trucks" <-- they're getting a bit too americanized with their matching :D
      (since Dehggi mentioned donuts, i also remembered i failed that test, but did get "noodles" right :D )

  3. back to my lurking corner, here's the link. I think it's free for all, perhaps a test drive on 6/dec? :-) (i'll be in boston on that date and will try on my machine too.)
    ps- did you make it to boston for the forsythe show? my hausmate did and apparently made a couple secret snips of her morgana's aria!

    1. Okay, do me a favor and send me a reminder a day or two before, so my flakery doesn't get the best of me.

      Nah, didn't get to the forsythe show, too much going on here :/

    2. more back to my lurking corner :-)
      So, they're singing tomorrow with live video broadcast, i'll try to capture as well to see how that works. might also broadcast a request for capture on my blog too in case of technical melt down :D (happens way too often in my case..)
      too bad you didn't make it to the forsythe show.. my hausmates absolutely loved it and left the program on my desk to rub it in :)

    3. Yup, I was checking it out today, so we'll do a dry run with the Mahler 2nd and see what happens.

      Re A Forsythe...yes, yes, I know. Can't complain, though, bc I made it to Acis and then we had Eric Owens here last night at Troy Music Hall (where A Forsythe + Apollo's Fire would sound totally fabulous, dammit! -- and where we used to have a lot of things like that back when the Dorian label was still in business and headquartered in Troy).

    4. ps- i might be a bit late to the dry-run party! (apparently still awake now! but heading zz soon..)

    5. Audio set up is fine -- there's an HD option on the stream, yay! Video streaming via vlc or real audio doesn't seem to be an option, but I may not be setting that up right.

      It looks like they also make their video archive available online for a contribution of fifty bucks -- so that may be a backup, if they add next week to the archive.

    6. Just had a big stream hang :-/

    7. [insert sidebar abt how much i heart the Mahler 2 here]

      Delete
    8. ok that was not one for the ages, vocally, but the good news is only one total hang and only a couple of hiccups after that.

      Delete
    9. oh the concert is not at 8pm? (good morning! 1 eye opens..)

      Delete
    10. Yes, and I hate to say it, but it looks like maybe they're not webcasting Messiah. Have a look here (scroll down to Schedule menu). This would suck mightily if they're leaving it out.

      Probably worth it to check Detroit radio station schedules, just in case.

    11. sorry for the vent, i'm quite upset at them now... grrr
      thanks for making notice though.. coz i had made the mistake of reading somewhere they broadcast *all* their performances, not pick and choose :(

      Delete
    12. >.< >.<
      wooooahhhhhhhhh

    13. You'd think in December they'd broadcast a Messiah, especially since Detroit isn't like Boston, which has one on every streetcorner. This is pretty much the only game in town. So I'll check back and canvass the radio stations as well, you never know.
