This was a recording made simply in my living room. I had wanted to test out the acoustics of the space by recording one instrument. My friend Peter was writing fingerpicking guitar songs so we decided to give that a go. I recorded it using the M/S techinique,  using a Beyer M88 aimed at a 45% angle at the soundhole and also a AKG 414 in figure 8 mode to give it some stereo enhancement. I ran the Beyer through a Purple Audio BizMk pre-amp, and the 414 through a BAE 1073 pre. No other processing was made.
Check out the alternate version where I run the Beyer through my Tubeplex Tape Echo for a "vintage" sound.

Same piece as Acoustic01 but we ran this hot through a Mike Battle Original Tubeplex tape echo. I kind of like the sound it gave it.

Hi,
I have worked in music one way or another since 1996. I've been a performer, musician, soundtrack composer, recording engineer, live sound engineer & record producer. 

I have toured the world as a live and recording engineer, working with artists as diverse as Rural Alberta Advantage, !!! (Chk Chk Chk), Hayden, The Besnard Lakes, Kid Koala, Alexi Murdoch, Holy F#*k, Azari & III, Land Of Talk, and Melissa Auf Der Maur. While living in Montreal, I was also the co-founder of Moondata Productions, an experimental collective of musicians who produced & recorded numerous concerts focusing on improvised collaborative performances. Between 2003-2010, over 100 musicians were featured at live shows, regularly featuring members of the Patrick Watson band, The Barr Brothers, Arcade Fire, Bell Orchestre, The Luyas, Suuns, and featured guests such as Lhasa De Sela and Jorane.
