Nina Nastasia
We’re in session with the wonderful Nina Nastasia today – can’t wait to film it. The rockfeedback sessions are my favourite thing to film, especially when it’s just one person, and especially if that person is as talented as Nina.
We spend most of our time, before the act arrives, perfecting minute details. We’re contstantly reshuffling the lights, taping down mic leads, testing room mics, blacking out signs, identifying sources of hums… and then the artist arrives, and the same starts again but down to the tiniest of adjustments on camera positions and light intensity.
After that the session is over before you realise. They play three or four songs, and then we sit them down for what is normally a deep and meaningful (we hope!) conversation about their music, what music is, why it is, where it’s going, yadda yadda…
Anyhow, I’m off to collect the lights, but in the meantime here’s something equally special, made for Nina by somebody else (a very talented someone else) – I love how you never see anybody but Nina actually providing their addition to the song….
Will try to get the Nina session up here once done…
