satie-gnossiennes-2-3-and-4
Here is a live recording Mike Kenyon and I made at a wonderful hall here in Cincinnati. The performers are Randy Bowman, flute and Gillian Benet Sella, harp. This is an on going flute and harp project that I am doing to produce a CD of professional quality to help promote chamber music and the wonderful artists in the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, with whom I have the privilege of getting to make music with every week.
This project will resume in the late Spring and Summer and I am looking for any advice from you many knowledgeable artists here on SC as to perhaps miking techniques or other info that maybe you all have encountered in your recordings. All information is useful and would be greatly appreciated as I’m new to this kind of on site recording.
I know there are many Satie fans out there so I thought I would use these Gnossiennes as a teaser. I hope you all enjoy.

but I can still hear exceptional control on that flute...and a rich palette of timbres too....using the different tone colours often with the same phrase to get even more expressive effect....beautiful....hearty congrats

yeah...the soundcloud stream is making sausages out of this!...mind you....I've more than a hunch that the more mashed the stream is the better quality was the original

This is beautiful, Chris and all. Sounds like you have mic'd the flute at or close to the embouchure. The inhalations are particularly pronounced. I would add a mic a few feet away and EQ out the breaths, and then mix the two mic positions to emphasize/de-emphasize as you like.

It is amazing that Satie used the same 12 notes that we all do, yet makes this sound so other-worldly. Bravo to Randy and Gillian for playing the pieces so well. And thanks to you, Chris, for giving us a little insight to Cincinnati.

This is so far above and beyond anything I've done or will do that I don't feel qualified to critique it, apart from to say it sounds excellent - sorry I can't be more specific!

@Indigolab: Thanks Tom, that’s exactly the kind of info I’m looking for. Very much appreciated!!!!! Funny, but the flautist always thinks he’s not loud enough - go figure!

@EchoProjectStudio: Yeah, SC really mucked this one a bit but the gist of the performance is intact. The original has a great deal more clarity and depth.

Very nice. And, I suspect outside of SC's compression it sounds even more natural.
