SONG TO WELCOME THE SPRING /// the first track I’m releasing from my solo recording project CAMERRO.
‘control-click’ on the player below to download the MP3.
This song is inspired by my trip last yr visiting ancient pagan churches in Estonia. Everything you hear is played live by me and the track was entirely recorded on a cassette 4-track. For me this music is as raw and personal as it gets. The 4-track cassette process requires that everything be performed carefully and with great intent as ‘fixes’ are not possible. For yall techy-types here’s how it went down:
Tascam 134 4-track cassette deck with Maxell XLII-S tape. Click to track three, elec gtr (finger picked rh+melody) to track one, drums to track two, bass to track four;
Submix gtr, drums, bass while playing congas all to track two (erasing click);
add electric organ on track two (overwriting drums), add sitar and cello (in sections) to track one (overwriting gtr), add percussion to track to 4 (overwriting bass). Two microphones were used: Bang&Olufsen ribbon for drums and perc, Neumann TLM170 for congas and cello, gtr bass sitar organ were direct. FX are Yamaha PROR3 reverb and Yamaha E1010 delay.
