From tunes to Titanic for sound wizard

im Begley is a recording engineer, producer and live sound engineer. Suffice to say, he knows a thing or two about sound.

He graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell with a degree in sound recording technology, and secured first an internship then a full-time gig at The Studio in Portland, where he’s spent the past 15 years sharpening his skills.

Begley spends much of his of time working with local bands, mixing sound at Port City Music Hall and engineering sound for things like TV documentaries.

GO visited him at The Studio, where he works most of his magic, and was treated to a tour and a chat next to an array of sophisticated equipment.

OK. So what exactly does a recording engineer do?

I handle everything to do with the recording and documenting and producing of music. Sometimes, if I’m working in a producing fashion, I work with the band on their song arrangements and help fine-tune their songs if required. I help them through the process of recording and overdubbing, adding vocals and creating harmonies. I pretty much flesh out their raw tunes and then mix all of the tracks – adding effects and processing and fixing vocals – and then actually produce a finished two-track master.

John Patriquin/Staff Photographer

Jim Begley has helped local musicians make their recordings at The Studio in Portland for 15 years. He has branched out to engineering sound for film and TV.

bar GUIDE

At Blue, a relaxing atmosphere and lots of live music

By EMMA BOUTHILLETTE

t Blue, it’s more about the music and less about the drinks and food.

I got that impression when I first walked in on a recent Wednesday. Just inside the door, Kevin McElroy and Jim Prendergast were setting up for Blue’s weekly Irish music night.

Between tuning their guitar and fiddle, they said a quick hello as I walked in.

On one wall, large chalkboards display the night’s menu, featured wines and beer listings. Blue has eight beers on tap and three more offered by the bottle. The average price is about $5. There were eight wines to choose from, ranging from $6 to $10, a couple of which you can buy by the bottle. If you’re looking for a liquor drink at Blue, though, you’re out of luck.

As I pulled up to a seat at the bar, owner Terez Fraser greeted me. She had been mingling with other customers at Blue in between serving food and drinks.

I ordered a glass of the Callia Alta Malbec priced at $6. Fraser poured me a good portion in a goblet-sized glass that I took to a small table to enjoy.

The walls of Blue are painted a shade lighter than the red wine I sipped, which created a dark, relaxing atmosphere. I sank into my seat, sipping my glass of wine. It was fun to just listen to the duo warm up and watch the city life walk by on Congress Street.

What makes Blue unique is

BLUE

A

WHERE: 650 Congress St., Portland PHONE: 774-4111 WEBSITE: portcityblue.com HOURS: 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Wednesday through Saturday PARKING: Street SCENE: Relaxed, intimate setting to enjoy a glass of wine or beer while taking in some amazing musical talent.

AMENITIES: Blue offers between two and three acts of live music every night it’s open.

John Ewing/Staff Photographer

Terez Fraser is the owner of Blue on Congress Street in Portland. that the people who go really go for the music. Chatter all but stops as the artists play. Fraser said the musicians really appreciate the attentiveness of Blue’s crowds. I can understand their sentiments, having been some places where bands have to compete with chatter during their performances. There’s something special about sitting in silence and enjoying live

EAT

Continued from Page E23 Marcy’s is located on the corner of Free and Oak streets, not far from the Portland Museum of Art, so it has a steady clientele of downtown workers and people who live on Portland’s peninsula.

There has been an eatery of some kind on this corner dating back to the 1930s, and the interior has an old-fashioned diner feel. There’s stained wood on the wall, a wood counter, old but comfy stools, and lots of memorabilia ranging from sports pennants to lava lamps. It became Marcy’s around 1989 and was taken over by Doug and Darla Neugebauer about a year ago.

The place also has lots of creative daily specials, which are usually posted on the Marcy’s Diner Facebook page. Some of those specials posted in recent days include banana bread French toast, pot roast hash, and raspberry and cream cheese pancakes.

Two important things to remember about Marcy’s is that it’s cash only, and it’s only open

music.

Fraser said she books between two and three performers every night she’s open, with a schedule of what’s to come listed on Blue’s website. Some performers are from out of town, but most are local. Fraser said genres range from Irish music on Wednesdays to jazz on Fridays, with bluegrass, Americana and singer/ songwriters in between.

until 2 p.m. So it’s no surprise that most of the menu is made up of breakfast items, although sandwiches and burgers are big around lunchtime.

The menu has a dozen or so breakfast combos like the one I had. For $6.50, you can get two eggs, bacon or sausage, home fries and two pieces of French toast. Or, for $7, you can get what I got, but with your pancakes flavored. If you want to try a little of everything, for $7.50 you can get two eggs, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, home fries and toast or one buttermilk pancake.

Something I’d like to try in the future are the buttermilk pancakes ($5.25 for three) with various add-ons. For an extra $1.50, you can get bits of bacon in the pancakes. Or chocolate chips.

Or blueberries. Or raspberries. Or – well, you get the idea.

Marcy’s also has omelets, breakfast sandwiches, and other sandwiches ranging from a classic peanut butter and jelly ($4) to a steak and cheese ($5.25) and a bacon and blue cheese burger ($7.75).

The staff of GO anonymously samples meals for about $7.

Blue is also a place for burgeoning musicians to show off their talent. On Tuesdays starting at 7 p.m., it hosts a special night for the “Out of the Blue” contest. The contest features 15 to 20 musicians who pay a $5 entry fee and perform in front of an audience of peers and one guest judge. The winner takes home the entry fees collected for the night.

MOVIES Continued from Page E22

Directed by McG. Two top CIA operatives wage an epic battle against one another after they discover they are dating the same woman.

by James Cameron. “Titanic,” originally released in 1997, is returning to theaters as a 3D, IMAX experience. In this fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, a boy and a girl from differing social backgrounds meet during the ill-fated maiden voyage of the ship.

Showing at: Cinemagic Grand (South Portland) Today 4, 8 Fri-Wed 12, 4, 8; Cinemagic Saco Today 12, 4, 8 Fri-Wed (all IMAX) 12, 4, 8; Cinemagic Westbrook Today-Wed 11:30, 3:30, 7:30; Nordica (Freeport) Today-Wed 12:15, 4:15, 8:15; Brunswick 10 Today 12:45, 4:45, 7:20, 9 Fri-Wed 12:45, 4:10, 8:30

Fraser also likes to promote local artists. There were large photos hanging on the wall that she said were from local AmeriCorps work, but the display changes monthly to feature different local artists.

Blue is also proud to be turning 7 this month. Fraser said they’d be celebrating with a “Blue Birthday Bash” on April 29 featuring four acts. Doors open at 1 p.m., and the music starts at 2 p.m.

While I was there, the musicians took a break. Recorded Irish music kicked on in the background to stick with the night’s theme. Tea light candles on each table provided most of the light, and I found it to be a rather relaxing place to enjoy a glass of wine and unwind.

Emma Bouthillette is a freelance writer who lives in Biddeford.

“WRATH OF THE TITANS” (PG-13) (1:39) Stars Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Rosamund Pike and Ralph Fiennes. Directed

ula hoops have gone from a 1950s fad to the latest exercise craze. Along the way, street artists and stage performers have embraced the hoop to the delight of audiences. On Sunday, you can immerse yourself in this colorful culture during “The Hooping Life – Film Screening and Hoop Jam.” Taking place at Mayo Street Arts in Portland, the event starts with a screening of the new documentary “The Hooping Life.” The independent film chronicles seven hooping aficionados in locations that include the Burning Man festival, Times Square and South Africa, and portrays the modern hula hoop as a “club art form, teacher’s aid, and instrument of redemption.”

The redemption aspect of the film is why local organizers are billing it as most appropriate for mature audiences, because some of the people featured used hooping to overcome personal issues related to rape, depression and transgender identity.

“It’s about these fantastic hoopers from all around the world,” said Jennifer Raymond, who organized the festival at Mayo Street Arts.

Master hooper Jonathan Baxter, one of the people featured in the film, will be in Portland the last weekend of April to teach a two-day hooping workshop called Hoop Path Open Air Tour.

Like most people, Raymond is new to hooping. She got

Maine a la Carte Dishing on food and drink

Vivid Motion’s ballet-style dancing to Pink Floyd will take up one act of the show. The other act will have seven original dances.

Dance show offers ballet to sounds of Pink Floyd

hen I was in college, I was afraid to have Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” hanging around in my dorm room.

Because a certain type of student played that album over and over again when they were doing a certain illicit activity with the door shut and a carpet rolled up against the bottom of it. And I did not want to be mistaken for that kind of student.

But now, years later, I’m ready to accept the hint of danger that comes with that album.

Especially when I heard it was going to be used for a ballet.

Local dance company Vivid Motion will be presenting an original ballet piece set to “The Dark Side of the Moon.” I don’t know much about ballet, but I can’t help but think this dance will be kind of trippy.

“That music has a lot of layers.

It’s not simple pop music by any means,” said Brigitte Paulus, the show’s co-producer. “In a lot of pop music, the time signatures are all four-four, but some of these songs are in six or seven. It’s very interesting to dance to.”

Yeah, trippy.

The Pink Floyd music will be part of a show titled “Eclipse (and Other Dances)” to be performed today through Sunday at the St. Lawrence Arts Center on Munjoy

Hill in Portland.

“Eclipse” is the ballet-style piece to Pink Floyd, and will take up one act of the show. The other act will have seven original dances, including one that fuses the postures of karate and belly dancing.

But Paulus said people shouldn’t get hung up on the term “ballet” for the “Eclipse” piece.

“Eclipse” was choreographed by M.J. Emerson, and it tells a story of “love, longing, searching and forgiving” through three separate tales that collide on stage.

This show came about, in part, because Vivid Motion wanted a family show, Paulus said. Its annual Christmas show, “Nutcracker Burlesque,” is a huge hit and plays to sold-out houses. But it’s not appropriate for all ages.

Dancing to “The Dark Side of the Moon,” however, is.

As long as all the folks are doing is dancing.

thought that King would champion it in some way?

Khalil: We were simply coming up with titles, and I think our sound guy suggested it, and everyone was laughing immediately. We knew it was a winner.

Mann: Any “championing” would be more an ancillary benefit than a purposeful strategy. In other words, should King decide to do some cham-

pioning on our behalf, we’ll be happy to welcome him aboard.

Any word from the man himself so far?

Mann: He read the script years ago and politely declined a cameo appearance in the film. However, he did recently post the trailer and a short blurb about the film on his official website, www.stephenking.com. So that’s nice. We’re hoping he will get a chance to see it – we think he’ll find it pleasantly amusing.

movies at THE MUSEUM “MEEK’S CUTOFF,” directed by Kelly Reichardt. The year is 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, and a wagon team of three families has hired the mountain man Stephen Meek to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a shortcut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high plain desert, only to become lost in the dry rock and sage. Over the coming days, the emigrants must face the scourges of hunger, thirst and their own lack of faith in each other’s instincts for survival. When a Native American wanderer crosses their path, the emigrants are torn between their trust in a guide who has proven himself unreliable and a man who has always been seen as the natural enemy.

hooked on it at the 2010 Nateva music festival in Maine, and now teaches hooping classes through Forever Fit and Biddeford Adult Education.

“It’s definitely a passion, but I don’t get enough time to devote to it as I’d like,” Raymond said.

“When I saw the trailers for ‘The Hooping Life,’ I really wanted to bring it to Portland, because the hooping scene here is starting to get bigger.”

The growing popularity of hooping in Greater Portland explains why Raymond had no problem finding five local hoopers to perform after the screening. They include Amelia Bedelio and Nedra Dean, who are known for twirling flaming hoops in Monument Square during the First Friday Art Walk. Since flames won’t be allowed inside the venue, they’ll use hoops lighted by LEDs instead.

Nikki Hunt and Alexis Golubow will perform a hooping duet using LED hoops, and Jennifer Bailey will demonstrate the art of sustained spinning. “They are really good, amazing hoopers,” Raymond said.

Following the professional performances, the audience will be asked to get in on the action.

“We will play some great music, and everyone will have the opportunity to hoop,” Raymond said. “There will be about 30 hoops of all different sizes and weight for people to try.”

During the event, five vendors will sell weighed hula hoops, lighter hoops for tricks, and hooping clothing and accessories.

“The purpose for me to bring this was to spread the joy of hooping even more,” Raymond said. “So I’d love to get newcomers to come experience it.”

“Zero thinking is involved when a guy gets poked in the eye with two fingers, smashed on the head with a brick and kicked in the crotch,” said Maine comedian Bob Marley, the Guinness world record holder for the longest stand-up comedy show. “It’s the same reason we love ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos.’ ” Over the years, it’s become fairly apparent that the Three Stooges are more of a guy thing. Women often can’t get past the stupid physical stuff. Which is just like real life, isn’t it?

Watch kids in a schoolyard. Which ones are on the ground wrestling and trying to stick somebody’s foot through a hole in the fence? It’s probably not the girls.

“I think most women don’t like them because of their asinine behavior, and be-

cause they mostly just punch each other,” said Maine comedian Karen Morgan.

“Sure, it’s fun for the first eight or 10 times when Moe bonks Larry on the head with a hammer or pulls Curly’s nose with pliers, but at some point, we get tired of that. I compare it to watching the ‘Jackass’ movies. Guys love to watch those movies even though they’re watching other guys get kicked in the privates.”

“But that’s the joy of comedy – it is an art form,” Morgan said. “And we all find humor in different ways.”

We soitanly do.

run a dog-washing service that involves a conveyor belt and some very inventive and funny devices. I particularly loved the hang-down hands that scrub the dog’s bottom clean.

Somehow, during a lunch break, they end up in a ritzy neighborhood and find a baby on the doorstep of a home. They assume the baby is abandoned and grab it, thinking they are doing a noble public service. But instead of going to the police station, they decide to take it to their apartment to nourish it. In the meantime, the baby is reported as kidnapped.

When the Stooges realize they took a baby from a happy home, they try to return the little guy, but have to elude their building manager, who forbids babies on the premises, and the cops, who are on the lookout for kidnappers. The parents arrive on time and vouch for the Stooges, who wrap up their busy day by running the little tyke through their dog-

washing device. No pet monkeys here, but a very well-trained dog.

n “MEN IN BLACK” (1934): The boys are doctors being run ragged in a hospital, with the loudspeaker on the wall constantly calling, “Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard.” When asked what they did for a patient they just saw, Curly replied, “Nuthin! What’d he ever do for us?” My favorite scene is the operation, where Moe makes up scientific-sounding names as he asks for various instruments, and the others respond in kind when handing things to him. “Anacan… Anacan. Senatona… Senatona. Anacanapoona… Anacanapoona. Cotton.”

Once the operation is finished, Moe wonders aloud, “The tools? Where are the tools?” The patient then rises from the operating table and clinks and clanks his way back to his room.

Can the Three Stooges still make us laugh? Soitainly!

By ROGER MOORE McClatchy Newspapers

There’s an inner 9-year-old in us all, dying to get out, to laugh at pratfalls, slaps, eye-pokes and fart jokes.

That’s what Fox and the Farrelly Brothers are counting on. That’s why they’ve revived “The Three Stooges,” those princes of the puerile, champions of the childish and lions of lowbrow.

And from the moment Larry David appears, in full nun’s wimple and habit, as Sister Mary-Mengele (hah!), this updating of the Stooges works. (Or should we say “woiks”?)

We meet them the day they’re hurled, in a bundle, at the door of an orphanage.

They grow into troublesome orphans with bad haircuts. Even as 10-year-olds, Moe (Skyler Gisondo), Larry (Lance Chantiles-Wertz) and Curly (Robert Capron of “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”) just say “Nyuck” and are accidents waiting to happen.

“No wonder (adoptive) parents didn’t want youse,” Sister Mary-Mengele hisses.

But Mother Superior (Jane Lynch) and Sister Rosemary (Jennifer Hudson) tolerate them. For decades.

So that when, 35 years after arriving

Will Sasso, left, as Curly, Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe and Sean Hayes as Larry in “The Three Stooges.”

REVIEW “THE THREE STOOGES,” starring Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, Chris Diamantopoulos, Larry David, Jane Lynch, Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Hudson and Kate Upton. Directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly. Rated PG for slapstick action violence and some rude and suggestive humor, including language. Running time: 1:32

there, their orphanage faces foreclosure, the sort-of adult Larry (Sean Hayes), Curly (Will Sasso) and Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos) are there to save the day.

Sort of.

But it’s going to be impossible to raise $830,000 through ineptly performed odd jobs, even if Moe is “startin’ to get half a brain in my head.” Fortunately, they run into a femme fatale (Sofia Vergara, at her Vergara-iest) who wants them to smother her “dying” husband.

“Soitainly!”

Little does she know she’s hired mayhem in high-water pants for the job.

“Those three eeeeeeediiots!”

Little does anyone know these three are in over their heads in the modern world.

“Are you guys on Facebook? I’ll poke you!”

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.

The Farrellys, who have fallen off raunchy comedy’s cutting edge in recent years, manage the right tone. Sound effects amp up the laughs (an accidental poke in Vergara’s D-cup may be the raciest thing in it) and they’ve scored with their casting. This originally was

supposed to have Oscar-winning stars, but thankfully, Sean Penn is nowhere to be found.

The new Stooges are affectionate homages to the originals: Moe and Curly Howard and Larry Fine. Hayes (of 20th Century Fox TV’s “Will & Grace”) is the most mannered, and the only one you see giving a performance. Not that he isn’t funny as all get-out. But Sasso and Diamantopoulos ARE Moe and Curly.

The Farrellys cleaned up their act for a kiddie audience. They even appear on camera for a “don’t do this at home” disclaimer at the end, because, as ever, the Stooges are for kids.

Not that plenty of grownups won’t get a kick out of what Moe does to “The Jersey Shore.” Because they have it coming.
