This is a direct follow-up to “Soundscaper 1 – Atmospheres” as the recording equipment is the same and the same remit was in place: to capture live performances straight to CD.
The main difference between this and the preceding CD is that three of the tracks were recording in my back garden. It was a beautiful summer and I decided to record outside for a change. I took some equipment into the garden and captured an afternoon’s performance using a Minidisc recorder and a tiny stereo microphone clipped to my guitar lead. These performances were later edited to fit on the CD. It was nice recording with the sound of the bird’s singing, local children playing and the neighbours’ radios. It makes an interesting mix!
I can’t wait to try this again but next time I will mic everything up a bit better. Stand out tracks include “Twelve String Dream” and “Outsider 3” where my experiments with guitar FX pedals cause hilarious results and much laughter from my wife. Who said there was no place for humour in music?
