Jeff Wexler Posted January 28, 2021 Report Posted January 28, 2021 LINK to Petrushkha's wonderful book, "Behind the Sound Cart" -- available now! This is a must read, for all of us, young and old, just starting out or already with a long career in sound. Quote
Fred Salles Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 Wow, just started it and I am very impressed in the way she managed to express in writing things that are usually inexpressible or just felt and unspoken. I am of course talking about the human relationship part that is 80% of our job. Not necessary because one would not want to speak about these things but because we tend to see them as instinctive or oversee them as "acquired", learnt or plainly part of us, therefore not worth talking about. But reading about these written in an acute and lucid way not only reminds us that we constantly keep on learning but moreover brings a whole new set of perspectives. Quote
tourtelot Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 Yeah, she sure does a good job of explaining the workings of our crazy dysfunctional workplace. I read this as a seasoned vet and though "man, I wish I had read this in 1980". Nicely done. D. Quote
Johnny Karlsson Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 Read through the sample. Purchased. Looking forward to reading the entirety. 😎👍 Quote
Eero Kujala Posted January 29, 2021 Report Posted January 29, 2021 Anybody know where to order this in Europe? I can't use Amazon and can't find it elsewhere. Quote

I will contact Patrushkha to get an answer for you and others in Europe who may be having trouble. Quote

For anyone that can use Amazon, Amazon France has it. https://www.amazon.fr/Behind-Sound-Cart-Veterans-Guide/dp/1736290002/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=Behind+the+Sound+Cart&qid=1612096375&sr=8-1 Quote
henrimic Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 Very enjoyable and inspiring reading. It's rare to have a book that doesn't talk about technique or theory, but puts the human experience at the center. I recognized myself in a lot of annecdotes and filming stories. It's also interesting for us European operators to note the differences and similarities in our working methods on both sides of the Atlantic. A book to recommend to all. Quote
