Inspired by the immersive recording techniques of engineers like Morten Lindberg, I recorded the unique ensemble of my friend Paul Medeiros at Groenland Studio using a variety of microphone setups, including close mics, an ORTF configuration and the remarkable Neumann head.
But this time the focus was on the immersive mic setup, featuring seven mics around the room and four positioned high above, all precisely measured.
Listening to this through my 7.1.4 speaker setup in the studio feels almost surreal, as if ur sitting in that room.
It doesn’t get any closer than this.
