A very rough phone recording of my performance in February with the RCS Brass department of "Concertino for Accordion and Brass ensemble" by Danish composer Nicklas Schmidt. 
It was a real joy to work with the all the wonderful players in the ensemble conducted by John Logan.

Thanks to Valeria Barr for the recording!

Nickals Schmidt Accordion Concertino with RCS Brass

I've been enjoying having a bit of time to play with my new small box, a Bugari Seniorfisa, during lockdown. In particular to rediscover and spend some time working on some traditional repertoire, which I haven't had so much time for over the last couple of years. 

I also thought this would be a good chance to try out my new mics, a stereo pair of AKG 214s. I'm by no means a sound engineer, and this is completely unmixed or mastered, but I still like the sound they get!
