Thanks for your note Michelle.

Michelle Shocked’s workshop with our studnets was really terrific. She was so engaging and truly wonderful in the studio. I think our session together was a living testament for the FP mission of industry professionals coming into FP; it really does have a significant impact on their overall experience.

Best,
John Murray

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Nick Bognar Tracking at Flashpoint Academy, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

I grew up Nobuo’s music for Final Fantasy! What a great opportunity to meet such a fine composer. I look forward to future professionals stopping by!

Comment on Rob Fetters at Flashpoint by Rachel

Tim-

Thanks for your comment. And you are right, Rob was a great workshop. I lived in Cincy from 1984-1991 and saw dozens of Raisins shows, as well as being a significant part of the transition to the Dots [working at Sound Images]. Plus, I was at Fifth Floor Recording during the days when The Bears were recording demos for their first record. Great times for sure.

You said it best, Rob IS an immense talent and we are fortunate at Flashpoint to be able to invite him and Chris and Bob back for a four day recording/film shoot coming up in late April. Stay tuned to these pages for more information.

Best,
JM

Rob Fetters is an immense talent. I had the good fortune to enjoy his music here in Cincinnati since I “discovered” him in playing with “The Raisins” in 1982. Anything that can be learned from him regarding the making of music, is gold and should be treated as such.

Dear Mr. Peebler,

You are right we are pushed to the side as a real heavyweight as far as being a serious career choice. Well I am not moved by the critics I can and I will be a game developer in two years .
