Yes there is so much going on. Thanks for this George. Really special getting to hear it. 

This is feeling pretty alien landscape right now...

----------------

Even though "Mesh" can be performed as a stand-alone composition, it was premiered as part of the evening-length project "Der Wanderer 2.0" which I developed together with the Nadar Ensemble in 2023. In the version presented in the context of this project, the audience is wearing headphones on which part of the soundtrack and amplification is played back, while other parts of the soundtrack and amplification are heard through the loud speakers on stage. This splitting allowed for an extensive manipulation of sonic depth, nearness, distance, foreground, background, blanketing and uncovering. The audience was encouraged to play with the headphones, taking them on and off freely, listening to only one ear, etc., creating their own listening experience.
Of course none of this can be replicatd on this live-recording, in which the soundtrack is rendered to stereo.

Mesh (Stefan Prins, 2022-2023)

Here is a track I should have posted last year.  It is an experimental recording I made near Dalsvallan (Near Sveg) Sweden.  I had the new Lewitt 440 Pure microphones and I wanted to see how far I could push the gain before noise became noticeable as they have a noise level of 7db.  The sound of the breeze in the treetops somewhat masks the mic/amp noise, however the gain on the MixPre3 was at the very high level of 74db, still the quality is really good.  Where I recorded this is nearer the mountain than in the picture but will give you an idea of what the area was like.  You might just make out a house just below the middle of the picture, this is the area where I stayed for three weeks.  Recording 3986.
