Brand new live binaural recording of
@jasondeawest & the Siskiyou Crest of their song āSo It Goesā. Jason and the crew came through in September and recorded a pile of songs with the full band to help me launch a new recording project.
This project is a new recording series that Iām excited to start sharing called Timeless Archives. Timeless Archives combines 2 very unique recording styles to create fully immersive live field recordings. As with the Magnolia Sessions, these recordings are done completely live, with no overdubs. Just straight forward raw takes. What sets this project apart is the combination of an old timey single microphone setup, where the entire band crowds around one mic, and uses their proximity to balance their levels in the mix, often stepping forward or back to increase or decrease presence in real time. This is combined with the binaural recording technique, which uses a specially made microphone that emulates human hearing in how it picks up sound, by using the same acoustic principles that your human head uses when listening to sound.
The end result is a recording that is sonically as close to how it would sound if the band were right in front of you as you could ever get. Including the perception of distance and direction from your ears. I highly advise listening with headphones to get the full effect.
