"Aeriloquy" Original tune recorded in a studio

[CC_PDX]

I booked some time at a local studio back in October and just told the engineer to keep the recording going while I played a relatively random assortment of music for a couple hours.

I'm finally sifting through the results and took the opportunity to practice some of my video editing skills. This is a short theme I came up with years ago for use in a film and decided to revisit it on the box. I posted more about the microphones / placement in another thread for anyone interested

Nice subtle mood...

Sounds nice. I wonder why the mics are placed quite high compared to where the sound comes out on the accordion.

Probably to keep them out of the frame in a head on shot... and why is he doing it? Likely because he can get away with it in that room's acoustics without a big loss in quality.

That studio room is two stories high and is pretty big overall. The owner/engineer had only recorded one accordion prior to this, so could have been a case of fresh eyes, calculating reasoning or he was winging it.

Right, but it is still close enough that there is no room "presence" in the recording... I don't think he was winging it.

That's a super fun session. I had a similar experience at the Prague Film School a while back. I had a blast experimenting with different sounds and setups. I ended up with a quirky mix of recordings that I’m still tinkering with. There’s something really rewarding about revisiting old projects and seeing how your skills have grown. Your theme sounds intriguing. I’d love to check out more about your setup and mic placement. Those details can really make a difference in capturing the right vibe.
