Gibbs, Bulkin, and Balins
Once in a while I get to play some music myself, and one evening this past October I invited 2 friends to come by the studio to play some music. The following track is a result of that evening
The track was a live improvisation, originally about 8 minutes long, here edited down to about 3 minutes.
Seth Bulkin was playing acoustic bass, miced with a Neumann M149 (placed about 3' above the ground, and about 2' in front of the bass) and amplified with the tl audio pre.
Gerrit Gibbs was playing a mix of our Gretsch kit and the Slingerland, with dowel sticks. The micing was minimal, 2 Beyerdynamic m160s as overheads, shure sm57 under the snare, and a shure beta 52 on the kick.
And the rhodes was run through a electro harmonix qtron pedal, and into a countryman d.i. (with a little echofarm tape delay added in pro tools.)
It was a fun night, and I appreciated the chance to get to record a bit myself.
