Dante Boon - 3x (2011)

What might seem like a minimal setup—a mic’d thunder tube, EH Canyon Pedal, Korg Minilogue, and Ableton—feels absolutely limitless when I’m working with it.

Thank you so much for the invite, @ianpoweromg! It was an amazing experience and a pleasure to share the evening with you and the fantastic @ledahfinck and her evocative Hardanger fiddle.

Recorded by René Pierre Allain at Scholes Street Studio.
