Film: 90046VS Havana Nights (Winters) | Music: Havana Nights (Standridge)

Performance Tips

The film begins with a title screen. Play until the end of the grey Safety, then pause the video until the ensemble’s first downbeat. At 170 through 176 it may be hard to keep the video syncd. The video file has been built to be flexible during this section. It may be advisable to get ahead of the ensemble a few beats and hit pause at the grey Safety in Bar 176. The upbeat into Bar 177 is an important sync point. The sweetener track has been edited to remove some parts between Bar 170 and 176 to make the Muséik operator’s job easier.
