Pour tous les Zoners!
I was fortunate to meet the builder of the mini Wall of Sound at the Q run... and was sorry that I spaced about asking him why he always lists the name in French! C'est la vie.
He told me to watch for some new projects, and wow was he right.
Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/mini_wall_of_sound/?hl=en
GoFundMe page: https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgofund.me%2Fa55c6fbb&e=ATNW226Q...
Way better than his Insta account is the lengthy description, images and videos of sound check on his GoFundMe page.... he describes his full project plan in phases.
It's a worthwhile effort to support, and there are even volunteer opportunities... how cool would that be?
I have visions of future young sound engineers learning the history of the Wall of Sound through these projects!

"La Petite Mort" (the little
"La Petite Mort" (the little death) is the French term for orgasm. I suspect the Wall-builder may be making a play off that.
I suppose that would make the original Wall of Sound, "Le Grande Mort" or the Great Death. Perfect for the Grateful Dead.

Yep, familiar with that term
Yep, familiar with that term (studied French all through high school and college).. and it's clever how you spin it..... but I don't think there's a connection between that term and this project.
I'll refrain from adding even more clever commentary so as not to be a threadkiller.

I'm enjoying the set break
I'm enjoying the set break tonight through this sound system in Connecticut . Of course the Z3 play live through it with a Zappa musical embrace is incredible.

Rebuild it full scale like the original with JBL and EV speakers in thick solid hard truckers-type cabs, and McIntosh 2300 amps with Alembic F-2B preamps, then I'll be impressed.

According to the go fund me
According to the go fund me the 1/6 scale wall is complete, the 1/4 scale wall is complete, the 1/2 scale wall is under construction, and the full scale wall is next. It's a cool project and I hope the full scale one comes to fruition...when that happens there is potential for some very cool concert happenings.
