Tom Forliti, the Wizard of Sound

James Cameron needed nearly a billion dollars to sink the Titanic. This guy sunk the Fitz for a small fraction of that. Tom is passionate about sound and how it connects directly to emotion. His stadio, The Resonating Chamber is located in White bear Lake, Minnesota. He specializes in location sound and post audio production. Contact him at tom@resroom.com. 612-805-9956. www.resroom.com. You will also hear his guitar throughout the Fitz production.

Tom also has some awfully talented daughters. Check out their band, Minty Hippo!

1. The S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald was the largest ship on the Great Lakes.

The large cargo vessels that roamed the five Great Lakes were known as lakers, and the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald was, at the time, the biggest ever built. It was constructed as a “maximum sized” bulk carrier and spanned 729 feet—the first laker to reach that length. It sat 39 feet high with a width of 75 feet, and weighed more than 13,000 tons without cargo. It was christened on June 8, 1958, and made its first voyage on September 24 the same year.
