Album Notes
Performed and recorded by BD, October and November 2015.
Tracks 1 through 10 recorded 31 October - 1 November 2015, outdoors during a strong wind, via two cheap radio mics, one clipped to my banjo strap and the other in my pocket (from whence it frequently fell) or sometimes lying on the ground, tied to my shoe, hanging in a tree or dangling in set of sheep’s bells. The roaring sound is the wind in the microphones as I strolled about playing. The electronic noises and dropouts are caused by the radio mic receiver being just outside the range of the weaker of the two radio mics.
Tracks 11 through 15 were recorded in my studio and garage, 11-12 November 2015, using a T.H.E. Sphere microphone. Apart from compression and reverb, the sound is entirely acoustic.
On all pieces the banjo is an Ozark RB3 5-string resonator banjo.
