I started making rounds at local Hollywood studios but had a small connection from the DCP days at Wally Heider Recording. I met and worked for Brett Webster, a location recordist who told me about engineering and pointed me to an upcoming AES show which I went to and was blown away. I was a mediocre guitar player and knew it so I sold some gear and became a runner for Dick Clark Productions.

I liked taking those sounds out of their natural context and hearing them in another, being, my room late at night. I used to record on cassette, getting up in the morning, going to school, walking around, football games, walking in and ordering at a burger joint, anything, and then listen back to it all in the evening. The final will take place on Tuesday, starting at 2:40 pm Jamaica time.Sorry if I ramble, I'm gettin up in years and.I'll just start:Īlways loved sounds. Lyles arrived in Doha as the fastest 200m runner this year, having run 19.50 at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Lausanne, putting him fourth on the world all-time list behind Usain Bolt, world record-holder with 19.19, Blake, who has run 19.26, and USA's former world record-holder Michael Johnson, who ran 19.32 in winning the 1996 Olympic title in Atlanta. The overwhelming favourite Noah Lyles of the United States won the heat in 19.86, the fastest qualifying time. The 29-year-old Blake crossed the line in 20.37 as Canada’s Olympic silver medallist Andre De Grasse won in 20.08.Įarlier, Dwyer crashed out after clocking 20.54 seconds for fifth place in the first heat won by Great Britain's Adam Gemili (20.03, a season's best) from Turkey’s defending champion Ramil Guliyev (20.16).Įwers, who was reinstated following a disqualification in the first round on Sunday, failed to progress from his semifinal heat following a 20.61-second clocking for sixth place. The biggest disappointment was Blake who could only manage a sixth place in the third and final heat, 48 hours after he finished out of the medals in the men's 100m, won by US sprinter Christian Coleman in a blistering 9.76 seconds, the fastest time in the world this year and sixth-best of all time. Yohan Blake and his two Jamaican teammates, US college athlete Andre Ewers and national champion Rasheed Dwyer have crashed out of the men's 200m at the semifinal stage at the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar on Monday.
