RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED ERIE INSURANCE RELATIVE OF BOARD MEMBER 2628 INSURANCE false Other SHAKING THROUGH Other SHAKING THROUGH IS A DOCUMENTARY RECORDING SERIES THAT PAIRS EMERGING MUSICAL GROUPS WITH PROFESSIONAL PRODUCERS AND ENGINEERS TO PRODUCE ONE ORIGINAL SONG IN TWO DAYS. SINCE 2010, THE SERIES HAS SHARED REMARKABLE NEW ARTISTS' STORIES AND WORK, EDUCATING VIEWERS ON THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS AS WELL AS THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION IN OUR CULTURE AS A MEANS FOR PROGRESS AND CHANGE. EPISODES OF SHAKING THROUGH CAPTURE THE WRITING AND PRODUCTION OF UNIQUE, ORIGINAL SONGS BY THE FEATURED ARTISTS OR MUSICAL GROUPS, USUALLY CONSISTING OF 7-10 PARTICIPATING MUSICIANS. THE RAW AUDIO FILES FROM SHAKING THROUGH RECORDINGS ARE TYPICALLY SHARED WITH WEATHERVANE'S REMIX SUBSCRIBERS, EACH OF WHOM CAN MAKE THEIR OWN MIXES OF THE RECORDINGS, AND ENGAGE IN INFORMATIVE CONVERSATION ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY VIA THE WEATHERVANE WEBSITE ON EPISODE FORUMS. BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SHUTDOWN, ALL IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES FOR WEATHERVANE MUSIC FROM MARCH 2020 THROUGH THE END OF THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR WERE SUSPENDED. THIS MEANT THAT WEATHERVANE COULD NO LONGER PRODUCE THE RECORDING SESSIONS, VIDEO SHOOTS, AND CONCERTS THAT WERE THE CORE OF OUR ACTIVITIES AND THAT YIELDED THE MULTITRACK AUDIO RECORDS THAT WERE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WEATHERVANE REMIX SUBSCRIPTION, MENTIONED ABOVE. IN 2021, "THE RECORDERS CLUB" WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC, AND FOR THE PURPOSES OF CONTINUING TO PROVIDE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR WEATHERVANE SUPPORTERS. FOR THIS PROJECT, WEATHERVANE ACCEPTED DONATIONS OF MULTITRACK RECORDINGS FROM ARTISTS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN PAST WEATHERVANE PROJECTS, WERE SUBSCRIBERS, DONORS, OR SUPPORTERS OF THE ORGANIZATION, OR WHO SIMPLY APPRECIATED WEATHERVANE'S STORY AND MISSION. BY DONATING AND DOWNLOADING MULTITRACKS, MEMBERS OF THE WEATHERVANE COMMUNITY WERE ABLE TO POOL TOGETHER IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S LONG-TERM HISTORY AND WORK. Other THE WEATHERVANE EDU PROGRAM Other THE WEATHERVANE EDU PROGRAM PACKAGES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR INSTRUCTORS AND THEIR STUDENTS LEARNING THE ART AND SCIENCE OF RECORDING MUSIC. THESE UNIQUE MATERIALS INCLUDE AUDIO FILES FROM THE EXTENSIVE, GROWING CATALOG OF SHAKING THROUGH AND WEATHERVANE RECORDING WORKSHOPS, ALONG WITH SPECIAL "HOW-TO" TEXTS WHICH DETAIL RECORDING TECHNIQUES DEVELOPED IN WEATHERVANE RECORDINGS OVER THE YEARS. THE GOAL OF THE EDU PROGRAM IS TO ALLOW WEATHERVANE TO TAKE AN ACTIVE VOICE IN DETERMINING HOW THE RECORDING ARTS AND SCIENCES ARE TAUGHT IN THE MODERN DAY. IN ADDITION, WE HOPE TO REACH POTENTIAL FUTURE MEMBERS FOR WEATHERVANE AMONG POPULATIONS OF STUDENTS AND ACADEMIC INSTRUCTORS. Other RECORDING WORKSHOPS Other WEATHERVANE RECORDING WORKSHOPS ARE FOR MUSIC FANS, MUSICIANS, AND HOME RECORDING ENTHUSIASTS. THESE WORKSHOPS TYPICALLY TEACH BASIC RECORDING CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES, AND PROVIDE HANDS-ON STUDIO EXPERIENCE FOR AN AVERAGE OF APPROXIMATELY 12 STUDENT ATTENDEES, ALONG WITH A MUSICAL GROUP CONSISTING OF 5-8 INDIVIDUALS WHO LEND THEIR MUSIC FOR THE RECORDING TO ENABLE THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE. IN FISCAL 2023, WEATHERVANE WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO CONDUCTING IN-PERSON RECORDING WORKSHOPS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE RESTRICTIONS HAD BEEN IMPOSED DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.TWO WORKSHOPS TOOK PLACE AT MINER STREET RECORDINGS, THE STUDIO WHERE SHAKING THROUGH IS PRODUCED.
