“Musical Cubism: Christopher Willits is the Picasso of sound”
new review.. CD Feature Christopher Willits – Plants and Hearts
“At the heart of such a warm and pleasantly vertiginous music lies a remarkably constructed recording technique. Using mid-side recording technique, the main microphone (which essentially captures the guitar, while an ambient mic will register spatial noises) was constantly turned to the left and the right in short, persistent intervals. Each position comes with a slightly different reception with regards to timbre, the “air†between the instrument and the taping device as well as the frequential phase. The mechanism as such is therefore responsible for the spinning and spiraling sensation caused by “Plants and Heartsâ€.”
these guys have def done their research on this release.. very cool. thanks.
