OneMic Series - San Geronimo & Friends - Bob Dylan's "Masters of War"

Описание: OneMic (the minimalist recording series) presents San Geronimo with special guests Megan Slankard, James DePrato, and Irena Eide (Rainy Eyes).
The group performs the Bob Dylan "Masters of War" at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, CA.

About the series: John Cuniberti’s OneMic series showcases recording artists performing two songs each around one AEA R88 stereo ribbon microphone. What makes this series so different from other live performance videos is that the artist is in complete control of his/her presentation. This means that the sound, balance, dynamics and stereo image is decided upon at the moment of creation, not in post-production. The artist (band) is responsible for the final product. Also, a high-resolution 4k video is shot with one stabilized handheld camera that hovers around the performers during their live performance. There is no editing of the audio or video except for any minor technical issue. It’s as honest as it can be including imperfections. This organic presentation isn’t limited to “acoustic” music as seen with live classical and folk music. In this series, I will attempt to record bands with electric guitars and drums that would typically require a multi-mic, multi-track approach. This single microphone technique was quickly forsaken soon after the multi-track tape recorder was invented and with it a level of musical intimacy. The OneMic series will demonstrate the positive aspects of the minimalistic recording process of the 1930s but will be captured on modern recording equipment. The signal path for "Masters of War": AEA R88A microphone – AEA TRP2 preamp – Pro Tools HDX. Sony A7S camera with a 35mm lens.
