kemanche recording kemanche recording, with older analog mono technology - highs don't over- load, interact with digital mapping parameters in an untoward fashion, so then set according to the analogic mapping parameters of an older mono field recording, tracked doubled, no foolishness, something from 1940, too little hiss for earlier, strange stops and starts, it might have been the result of several sessions, or a single one, wax master or wire recorder, stops and starts, maybe something wrong with the equipment, few clues, i think there's talking in the distance, maybe no one's listening, maybe the player had never seen a recording machine before, maybe the player had never heard one, maybe the player's showing off, knows what's going on, maybe a soul's being stolen, maybe there's no soul, few recordings like this, years ago mike snow found a few, don't know where they are now, i had a few 78s, they're now in a few collections, i found this mixed with older analog mono technology, not too many highs, no idea where the mic was http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/field.mp3
