Bolling Sonata I - Pam2 Live 11-18-08

Pam and Pam met in 1995 and began playing together as students of Joyce Adelson at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. They soon discovered how well they worked together and have been performing together ever since.

This is a video of Pam Squared (Pamela Slomka and Pamela Tucker) accompanied by Andy Tucker on electric bass and Mike Flanigan on drum kit performing the first movement of "Sonata For Two Pianos" by Claude Bolling live at for Tuesday Musicale of Detroit, Michigan. The performance was held in the performance hall at Evola Music in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. A special thanks to Russ at Evola for letting us get in the hall and rehearse a couple of days before the event. Check out Pam Squared at:

Video footage was shot on two miniDV camcorders; one is Pam Tucker's Panasonic PV-GS320, the other is Pam Slomka's JVC camcorder. I don't know the model of the JVC. All video was imported, edited, and formatted for the web in Final Cut Pro and it's associated applications on an Apple PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25gHz FW800 computer by Andy Tucker.

Audio was supposed to be recorded digitally on a Roland VS-2000CD portable digital studio. The pianos were close mic'd with two small diaphragm "pencil" condensers, the drum kit was mic'd with a large diaphragm condenser placed about 5' over head, and the bass was plugged in to a direct out from the amp. All sources were plugged directly into the VS-2000CD and unfortunately there was a malfunction and the audio was completely MIA.

Andy Tucker is an audio engineer at LiveWire Music and Audio Post in Southfield, Michigan. Check LiveWire out at:
