Festival season seems like a good time for new ideas.<\/p>\n

This summer, Bjarke\u2019s long-standing collaboration with the teams at JAM Studio Flair&Sound and Sehquenz<\/strong> led to a rather interesting project between Wacken and Flensburg.<\/p>\n

The idea was to connect the production at the festival with Preben Paulsen\u2019s studio<\/strong>, allowing him to handle his part of the Wacken production remotely from his familiar working environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

While Bjarke and the team were working on site at Wacken, Preben was connected from his studio in Flensburg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And this was not just one band or one short test. During his shifts, Preben worked on numerous performances across the neighbouring W:E:T Stage and Headbangers Stage<\/strong>, including bands taking part in the Wacken Metal Battle.<\/p>\n

With one act following another, every band bringing its own sound and setup, and very little time between them, this was a demanding production environment. From Flensburg, Preben handled the soundchecks and mixed and mastered the audio while following what was happening on both stages.<\/p>\n

Once his Wacken shift was finished, he could simply leave the studio, go home and sleep in his own bed. During a busy festival production, that is not a small benefit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For now, it has simply been a fun summer project with good people, loud music and an idea worth exploring.<\/p>\n

Could it lead to something bigger, or even something small?<\/p>\n

Maybe.. Keep your eyes open for what is coming at IBC 2026 next month.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
