Event Overview Join us for an exclusive masterclass with Josh Rogosin, the sound engineer who defined the iconic sound of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. Over his ten years with Tiny Desk, Josh's mixes have brought listeners into intimate performances by major artists, from indie gems to Broadway legends. We are talking about over 800 NPR Tiny Desk concerts collaborating with Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Fred Again, Boygenius, Sampha, Hozier, Dua Lipa, Sting, Post Malone, Coldplay, Anderson. Paak, and many many more. Now, he’s taking this expertise on the road with his new initiative, Global Sound Concerts, where he captures local music across the globe, uncovering how place shapes sound. This masterclass dives deep into Rogosin’s unique recording techniques and his philosophy for capturing authentic, unprocessed sound.

DAY ONE (April 4th) - Masterclass: Josh will give an overview of his career spanning 25 years in public broadcasting. You will learn how he used stereo and surround sound gathering techniques to tell stories through sound, from voodoo rituals in West Africa to Ancient Athletics in Greece. Want to know how your favorite tiny desk performance was captured? Josh will explain how he captures music as a journalist rather than as a recording engineer - and how he created the iconic sound for Tiny Desk for 10 years.

DAY TWO (April 5th) - Workshop Field Recording: What’s next after Tiny Desk? See Josh in action as he sets out to record 2 episodes of his new projects: Global Sound and Ghost Light concerts. Josh will record a local artist in a visually inspiring location in Bologna to learn why being from the city has inspired them to be a musician. After, we will go to a theater in town to record a musician and the acoustics of the space using just one ambisonic mic for Josh’s new Ghost Light Concerts series. This workshop will be interactive and you will be encouraged to participate and be an audience for the new series.

Highlights: Guest Selection Discover how Josh selects guests and pitches unique ideas. With a knack for bringing unexpected acts like Broadway’s Wicked and The Lion King to Tiny Desk, Josh will discuss how diverse musical backgrounds contribute to captivating live recordings. Recording Techniques Josh will take us through his core approach to recording live performances with minimal processing. Attendees will learn practical mic placement strategies and ways to preserve the natural character of each performance, ensuring an intimate, unfiltered experience. Balancing Instruments In live and studio settings, achieving balance is key. Josh will cover techniques for balancing different instruments—acoustic and digital alike—and demonstrate how creative panning can elevate the final sound. Post-Production Insights From mute automation to minimizing bleed, Josh shares how his thoughtful post-production decisions ensure a clean, dynamic mix. These techniques help preserve the essence of a performance while enhancing specific elements for listeners. Forensic Listening Through “forensic listening,” Josh captures nuanced details in a performance that might otherwise go unnoticed. This session will explore how to listen creatively to spotlight special moments and add depth to any recording. Flexibility and Creativity Adaptability is critical in live recording environments. Josh will discuss how quick thinking and a flexible approach allow sound engineers to overcome challenges and produce the best possible sound in any setting.
