How to compose for a release on cassette ?
This question will have been in the heart of this new sound experience 'Four Corners Of The Night"
Starting point : the recording
How to record sounds to be produce on cassette ?
Last year i made classical soundwalk recordings using Nagra ares M2 with stereo microphone and coil sensor microphone. This year I decided to turn into a real analog set up and use a Sony, TC-D5M capstan servo control stereo cassette-corder with sendust & ferrite head, dolby system with a stereo Audio-Technica ATR6250 and a mono home-made hydrophone, built by a famous artist - delivered defective -.
June 20th, 2012, after AMSW#43, I met Lysvia Maïz in le Marais in Paris. 23:05, we settled Quai d'Orléans, at Isle-Saint-Louis, in front of Notre-Dame and Saint-Louis bridge, closest to the water, at the edge of La Seine...
Recording like in an improvisation mode, due to the machine : TC-D5M - note that the M is again bigger than the other capitals - is really an amazing solid and beautiful device, more intuitive than a precious Nagra.
I played microphones. I played finally more the magnetophone itself and test the different possibilities of my sound devices. Something more about real time recording performance. . .
A kind of edition in real time of the recording process...
Definitively a good experience, even if I need more batteries for a next time !
With full batteries you are not able to record a full side of 30 minutes, arf...
