3 Hands Clapping - Way Over Yonder

An audiophile recording by Sound Liaison. Downloads available at http://www.soundliaison.com/​ in DXD, DSD, FLAC and WAV. Recorded in DXD. Peter Tiehuis - guitars Theo de Jong - bass Bart Fermie - percussion Recorded by Frans de Rond Produced by Peter Bjørnild We love when we are able to record musicians playing together without headphones. When not ''separated'' by headphones musicians interact much more as they would do in a concert situation, creating their own musical balance which makes the need for compression to control levels unnecessary and since everybody is in the same room, the boxed sound which is so common in many modern recordings is absent. Instead the beautiful sound of studio 2 helps ''glue'' the sound of the recording. When creating the sound stage, we spent a great amount of time getting the balance of the trio as optimal as possible using the ambient microphone stereo pair placed in the ''sweet spot'' in studio 2, before adding the spot microphones. We have created a sound field that is intimate but also with enough depth to have a visual representation of the instruments. The idea is to let the melodic part of each instrument stand out yet never overshadow the whole. The benefit of this approach is that you can visualize the ensemble in front of you; guitar left, percussion in the middle bass at the right. This is NOT the commercial radio friendly approach, with the instruments piled on top of each other straight down the middle. In a sense we are old fashioned, maybe we listened to too many old jazz recordings, but on the other hand as the great Louis Armstrong said; ''The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the backyard on a hot night or something said long ago." Frans de Rond & Peter Bjørnild The recording took place in the now legendary Studio 2, situated in the the building of the Dutch Music Centre of Broadcasters (MCO). It is the oldest recording studio in the Netherlands and has hosted a wealth of prominent artists; Django Reinhardt, was there in 1937, Jazz at the Philharmonic featuring Ella Fitzgerald in 1953, and in the 1960’ Wes Montgomery, Clark Terry and Eric Dolphy all recorded in the studio.
