Recorded at home on an iphone using multitrackDAW  - the pedals with an Apogee Jam, everything else straight to the microphone. I don't mind the hiss. I love the sound of the harmonics. Simple things. It's really not mixed. It's certainly not mastered.
Enjoy.

Dozens of thoughts / Like skimming stones

Three recently emerged virgin Queens piping to each other in a colony of honeybees.  Recorded with a Lavalier mic at the top of the frame (mid) and a JrF contact mic embedded in the beeswax comb (side). Mixed to L-R stereo. Recorded to a SD702.


T280 3 Virgin Queens Piping

I discovered a strange cat-like purring sound coming from the corner of the bedroom. The next day I discovered loads of wasps entering the house through a hole in the wall outside, they have built a nest in the cavity between the ceiling and the floorboards, possibly 2 - 3 square feet in size judging by the sound coming up through the carpet in the bedroom. This is the strange sound they make, particularly during the night. 

Recorded with 2 x Sennheiser MKH 8020 omni mikes into a Sound Devices 702 recorder. The mikes were placed on the floor and covered with a pillow and some weights, in order to get a better physical contact with the floor and reduce ambient noise, although this was recorded at night when there is very little going on outside, so what you can hear in this recording is the wasps.

Got my Zoom H2n and hooked it up and tried to record something immediately.

A late-stage rehearsal straight to cassette for reference. Recorded shortly before going into the studio, probably at John Henry rehearsal rooms. This is Mark on guitar, Lee on drums, and myself on piano and organ (the bass was always addressed in the studio once the basic track was down, which is why it doesn't feature here).
It's best to take the 8 minutes out and listen to the end, preferably in headphones, and in a quiet space,

I make music with whatever I have laying around using loop pedals, mobile phones and handheld recorders.
