It's a great way to meet like-minded artisan sourdough aficionados and be part of this journey I started back in 2016. And now for this week's Buzz...

Rumours: Sounds & Sourdough

FLEETWOOD MAC'S CLASSIC MASTERPIECE "RUMOURS" ALBUM COVER

You might be wondering what the connection is between an album that sold over 40 million units and artisan sourdough bread. Well... As many of our readers know, what I've been doing most of my life is writing, producing and engineering music at my recording studio, Theta Sound (thetasound.com). I am very much a part of the audio world and I go to sound-related events when the opportunities present themselves.

Recently, I met Kevin, a new customer at Random Acts of Breadness, and when I told him I have a studio not far from the bakery, he invited me to an open house at a studio that he's connected to: Marshmellow Skies. That connection turns out to be Ken Caillat, co-producer and co-engineer at The Record Plant for the Rumours album featured above. He also worked on other Fleetwood Mac records.

IT'S A PACKED IMMERSIVE AUDIO ROOM AS KEN CAILLAT DISCUSSES THE NEW MIXES

The event was on May 21st and by the time I had closed the bakery and drove out to Westlake Village (near Thousand Oaks), the studio was packed with audio enthusiasts listening to the immersive audio remix of the Rumours album, with Ken Caillat talking about the making of the record in 1976, and the new audio technology that certain classic albums, like Rumours, are being remixed with.

KEN CAILLAT (L) SPENT SEVERAL HOURS GOING OVER EACH SONG ON THE ALBUM

There were so many people at this event that there were 2 overflow areas in the studio complex where people could watch and listen to what was going on in the immersive room.

When the main event was over, I set up a Breadness serving station in the food area and gave sourdough and herb-infused olive oil samples to the guests (who all raved about them!).

When I was done with the bread-serving gig, I found that no one was in the immersive audio room, but the music was playing on the system. So I settled into the sweet-spot chair and listened to some awesome mixes through 16 speakers placed in precise positions in the room (see earlier photo). Besides Rumors, there were tracks by Joni Mitchell from the Court and Spark album (my favorite Joni album) and other artists.

As things were winding down, event organizer Bridget Gardiner connected me with Ken Caillat so I could present him with a custom Breadness Serving Board and a loaf of our Organic Artsian Sourdough Bread.

What an honor it was to spend some time learning about the making of a classic album, and the making of a cutting-edge immersive experience, breathing new life into an already amazing piece or art!
