WHAT IS SOUND ADVICE?
Sound Advice is Shyboy's recurring series that digs into music with guest DJs and selectors. It happens in The Blue Room as a seated, intimate listening session, often with storytelling, on the room's custom OJAS speakers and photoplayer. Learn more at shyboyhifi.com.
In his Sound Advice Talk at ShyBoy, Farley will play vinyl recordings of the music from three of his original ballets. The discussion will feature the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Aaron Copland, and Sting singing music of the English Renaissance composer John Dowland.
