--> Hi emers,

Just wanted to announce that, following last month's performance of Puss, I'm presenting my second cluster performance of Moon After Berceuse.

A cluster performance is basically when I shoot all of the vocal parts to a song live to digital media card and then stitch the visuals and audio recordings together using Logic and AfterEffects.

Anyway, this second performance is special to me, as it is my first live duet. The fantastically talented upright bassist, Ike Sturm, joined me at St. Peter's Church. That's the one known as the "Jazz Church" for which Ike is a music director. The place has great acoustics.

We recorded each of the five voices with a stereo mic, and a shotgun places very close to both Ike and myself. There's been some debate about my mix... some folks think I should mix up the more ambient stereo mic to show more of the room. I'm really curious to know your thoughts about this, so please let me know if you have a moment.

This time I enlisted some outside help to get the sound properly recorded... Cosmod recommended his friend Patrick Ford, and he came and engineered beautifully for me.

Please come check it out if you have the time! link

thanks. Yes, I had some problems during that section. I'll give it a little more attention and see if I can make it more natural. And, of course, add more room. I'm still in Martha's Vineyard right now though and can't touch it for a couple more days.

Thanks for the support folks. It really means a lot to me.

Just caught this. Freakin rad man!!! Nice!

Thanks SeniorFrio. Hope you checked out Puss as well. I've got a second performance of Moon I did in my hall I will be uploading later in the year, and one for The Turn which is in the works and is quite different.
