SPECIAL AT TR AC TIONS

MARY WEBB LIVE PERFORMANCES In a Show Exclusive, songwriter-guitarist Mary Webb will be appearing live in the CHAPEL SUITE each day of the Australian Hi Fi & AV Show, performing songs from her latest album ‘Love Like Planets’. Mary is a shining light in Adelaide’s folk scene, combining her vocal delights with catchy, offbeat guitar picking and a swig of poetry. With ties to both Adelaide and Melbourne, Mary has spent much of the past few years travelling between the two, with her latest album Love Like Planets proving a spectacular body of work that explores the complexities of modern relationships and personal rediscovery.

PLUS The making of ‘Love Like Planets’ After each Mary Webb concert, producer Mike Kirkham will deliver a presentation on the making of ‘Love Like Planets’, using the original ProTools multitracks recorded at SnowGhost Studios (pictured) in the mountains of Montana. Find out what makes an album great! Between shows find Mike in Magenta Audio’s Room 403.

It’s in the CHAPEL SUITE on the First Floor and not to be missed!

Get there early to avoid disappointment! See session times at the Show Reception.

WAVETRAIN CINEMAS MASTERCLASS ‘All rooms distort the original sound recording!’ says Wavetrain’s David Moseley, who will explain how, by custom-engineering your space, a loud and shouty room can be transformed into a Hollywood producer’s screening room. David Moseley’s home cinema designs are acknowledged by multiple awards as Australia’s finest... here’s your chance to ask the questions and discover Wavetrain’s secret sauce.
