On the Net: http://www " In the Brooklyn dispute, the union eventually reached an agreement with the opera company barring future use of the machine or any other type of synthetic music "Their concerns are rational, but on this particular show they're not really I could do a lot of special effects Weinstein, who is a member of the Los Angeles-area musicians' union, Local 47, wrote a letter to chapter president Hal Espinoza seeking his advice on the dispute The four-day walkout cost the city $10 million in lost box-office receipts and revenue from other businesses, such as restaurants and hotels, according to city tourism officials As in a similar dispute last year, when the Opera Company of Brooklyn planned to use the virtual orchestra, Local 802 is also concerned that the show is being used as an advertisement for the technology, manufactured by RealTime Music Solutions under the brand-name Sinfonia Although "The Joys of Sex" is an off-Broadway show and therefore not under union jurisdiction, Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians plans to rally outside the Variety Arts Theatre beginning with the show's first preview performance Tuesday night Weinstein said he had been using the technology for at least five years to compose film scores, and that when it came time to produce "Sex" off-Broadway, the producers approached RealTime â€â€? not vice versa Weinstein and Sprecher denied using the Sinfonia to demonstrate its capabilities " Lennon said he was "not impressed" by Weinstein's argument that he composed the score with the virtual orchestra in mind The machines became a rallying point for theater musicians in New York last year, when producers planned to use them in place of live players It does all these fun tricks Nine of its 21 musicians were replaced by the Sinfonia â€â€? a decision Mackintosh insisted was made because of lack of space in the pit "The show has a lot of jokes where I wanted to play with the music," David Weinstein, 28, said "That's about as valid as claiming to compose for a tape recorder," he said "In one song, (a character) is talking to an old friend about when they were in eighth grade, and there's a Pac-Man reference accompanied by a little Pac-Man music "We believe the goal is to eliminate live music with this machine to reap greater profit Among the show's three musicians is one who plays a so-called virtual orchestra â€â€? a computerized system that mimics acoustic instruments The union said protesters will return for every performance thereafter until the production closes or the machine is removed The musical opens May 12 " The show's composer said his decision to use the virtual orchestra was motivated entirely by creative concerns When Sprecher decided to stage the show off-Broadway, Weinstein asked him if one of the musicians could play the virtual orchestra to get the musical the sound he wanted "The show always did have three musicians and it always will have three musicians I would be a lot more nervous and scared if I were replacing musicians "It's obvious to us that what is really going on here is that producers are attempting to do indirectly what they weren't able to do on Broadway last year," David Lennon, Local 802's president, said RealTime challenged the deal, but the agreement was upheld in a recent decision this month by the National Labor Relations "He gave me a stock answer and said, 'It's not an issue with your show but we have to think about the long term,'" Weinstein said Sprecher consented despite the equipment's high price tag: $25,000 plus $400 a week to rent it Am I going to let a union legislate what I can and can't use, as long as I'm not taking jobs? Not in a million, zillion years The use of virtual orchestras became more mainstream in March, when British producer Cameron Mackintosh moved his long-running London production of "Les Miserables" to a smaller theater Virtual Orchestra Goes Off-Broadway Apr 13, 11:02 AM EST It may be called "The Joys of Sex," but a new off-Broadway musical has much more than hanky-panky on its mind Musicians went on a strike that shut down all but one of Broadway's 19 musicals playing then and that's why I chose to use it " Ben Sprecher, the show's producer, said that when the show was first produced at the New York International Fringe Festival two years ago, it had three musicians playing acoustic instruments â€â€? the same number it has now Espinoza wrote back asking Weinstein to pull the Sinfonia "We are not replacing musicians," Sprecher said |
