No offense taken... Here is a much better video reproduction. Ive spent a few hours getting to this level...Uncle Vanya wrote:The artists whose performance you committed to wax appear to be very skillful, but they use a stule of vocal projection which post dates the coming of the microphone, and hence one which dies not record well acoustically. Open throat, ringing head tones, lots of breath support... Those (and hitting consonants in an exaggerated fashion) are the necessities of good acoustic recording technique. A Banjo-guitar (which is fingered and played just like a common six stringer) would record much better, too.
I do not mean to be critical. I think that, perhaps, your extremely talented musician friends might enjoy experimenting with antique performance practices. It really is a great deal of fun. Once learned, these antique styles often lead an artist toward new mkdes of expression.
How about some Terrapin! You can issue it on a series of 9 cylinders! Anyways, it would be interesting to put some of the Ron McKernan songs on there, like Big Boss Man or Mr. Charlie.PeterF wrote:Just want to weigh in on the choice of material - FOTD is a great tune. There needs to be more Dead on cylinder, although getting almost any of it down to even 4 minutes is of course a challenge.
Get 'em to do Crazy Fingers next time.
