Santa Monica, California - May 22, 2006 -- Wild About Music Gallery in Santa Monica (1450 2nd St) was site of a very special artist reception and photo exhibit on Friday May 19. "It was truly a magical evening attended by over 150 music and pro audio leaders and master magicians, including a real magician who entertained the guests," says Claris Dodge of studioexpresso who co-hosted the event with Shelley Meyer of Wild About Music. "Rock'N
Roll and beer go together...Award-winning
Firestone Walker Fine Ale was poured for the guests and one
of the sponsors, Ultrasone
gave a pair of their brand new iCans in a drawing held afterwards.
The winner will be announced in studioexpresso May Ezine. "The photographs are transparent and honest. Kramer has managed to break the thick glass in the control room that separates the artist from technicians or has made the camera lense disappear all together. This is what great producers do when they capture a magical performance in the studio. They make the artist be themselves. Eddie's photographs are work of an insider or a good producer," says Dodge.
"Many of
the photographs in the Kramer exhibit go far beyond single-image
compositions, although they can be ordered in a variety of sizes
and combinations. Instead, Kramer engages the audience with storyboard
vignettes comprised of four to ten or more images thoughtfully placed
in three-to-seven-foot wide photographic montages," says Shelley
Meyer of WAM.
"It was
a great event and Claris had the perfect guest list to make it hopping
and feel right," says Wild About Music's Shelley Meyer. Eddie Kramer
is best known for his innovative Rock production contributions over
the past 30 years. In 2002, he won a Grammy for his work with Carlos
Santana and Michelle Branch on the single, "The Game of Love."
More recently he was featured on an episode of "Queer Eye for
the Straight Guy," in which he gives a framed limited edition
print of Jimi Hendrix to the episodes "Straight Guy."
Eddie is scheduled to work with a new Capitol artist in June. "We
have more photo exhibits lined up this year which will take me to
Eruope (Rotundum, Holland), Middle East (Dubai) and Tokeo, Japan,"
says Kramer.
