Shaking Through is a recording and documentary series that explores the importance of creative expression and its impact on society through the perspective of people who dedicate their lives to making music.
With this series we are committed to enabling self expression and seek to inspire and educate the community about the creative process, and the art and science of recording music.
Members can download the multi-track raw audio and stems from these sessions to practice their mixing skills, make their own creative remixes, and share their work back with the community for feedback and support.
Along with tutorial documents and lesson plans, these tracks are made available to audio engineering and mixing programs in Universities and high schools all around the world.
Every other month, Weathervane conducts recording and mixing workshops where music fans and production enthusiasts of all levels get together to learn and practice the techniques and processes we use every day in the studio.
To attend, you can purchase tickets a-la-carte, or if you're an Event Access member, simply click the RSVP links to reserve your spot.
The raw audio files from these sessions are now available for Remix and Event Access Members to download, remix, and practice their mixing skills.
Weathervane hosts intimate studio concerts at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia that feature past and future Shaking Through artists and other local musicians. We also hold residencies and curate shows at local Philadelphia music venues.
These shows are another opportunity for us to highlight artists we think have an important message to share through their music, and to get people together in the same room who think supporting, engaging with, and creating music is an invaluable part of our culture.
Innovative instructional materials for schools that teach the recording arts and sciences.
A tutorial style video series about the short, simple processes we use every day in the studio.
Conversations with select recording artists about how they improve and sustain their work.
