intimate recordings
For the past few days, I've been listening non-stop to the delicious Mirah record, You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This.
Like many K Records releases, it was recorded at Olympia's Dub Narcotic studio. In a recent issue of Tape Op, Calvin Johnson speaks about his studio:
"You gotta walk in right away and know this is not a normal studio, because, first of all, we got rid of concepts like isolation. There's not going to be many recordings that come out of here that don't have seagulls on them, trucks backing up, the guy sawing downstairs or someone making copies."
I like that; I think it helps to convey a sense of place, which can help to make a recording seem more intimate. These ideas are much in my mind as Chris and I begin to select pieces for our second CD-R, recorded over the past year in my apartment. |
