Recording in a Remote(ish) Area
Hi, Sometime before the end of this year we will have the opportunity to
go to an island in the Pacific, with the purpose of making decent recordings of the local music. I have many questions because it is about 25 years since I did any studio recording and about 15 years since I stopped mixing live gigs. Things have changed a lot and I have spent the last few months getting more up-to-date on what is available. A combination of budget restrictions, portability and power restrictions made me think something like a Korg D32XD might be the best compromise. http://www.zzounds.com/item--KORD32XD We'll be relying on generators and solar panels. The music might be sold through the web, but primarily on tape and Cd distributed by individuals mostly, as it is already done like this throughout melanesia. It will be a sort-of co-operative venture, with artists retaining control and getting all revenue after costs. I'll try to keep this short, just one more of the many questions is, the cost of property is ususally very high, but here we could make it very cheaply. The locals build their houses from local materials, and a traditional house is often round: http://rspas.anu.edu.au/qb/articles/...ges/4-2hut.jpg The walls would need to be thicker, maybe straw-bale, but what do people think of this? Would a round design be good acoustically? I think there are advantages to it. Rectangular is equally possible. This will do for now, if anyone's interested, including ideas on aspects not mentioned in this post, reply here or on email. (minus the notthisbit) Thanks |
