This is a well done piece. There are a lot of cool kids talking with music in between. I can visualize the place they play mostly because I have been there. I just wish I knew what was going on.
This is an un-narrated piece and these are the toughest to do. I know a lot of folks who get into radio are a bit skittish about putting their own voice to tape, and while I don't know if that is the case here, they attempt the most difficult of radio. Un-narrated music pieces are like a triple-triple combination in figure skating.
No one knows, for the most part, who this band is or why we should care about them breaking up. If the producer had put the story together for us, we might have had a piece where we care deeply about the band and why they are splitting up. We do know that the band means a whole lot to a whole lot of people and that the members of the band are sad. But we just can't bite deep enough into it all.
But the most astounding thing about this piece, a self admitted debut, is the recording and technical aspects are fantastic. Out door recording is tough and the sound is clear and crisp. The edits are seamless for the most part and put a real level of professionalism to the piece.
If this is the producers first piece...we all need to delve more fully into her body of work and I am sure we are going to find some great radio!
