Wow...
Very cool. I wish I had found this in '88.
Change for a Paradigm by obikaye 1 year ago
@MH2010...
Thank you, glad you enjoyed.
Actually, those sounds you are hearing are a blend of berimbau and (down-tuned) frame drum. I find that the two played together create a very haunting sound.

But, now that you mention it, I need to go find a piano and try it!

Tender Taboos by obikaye 1 year ago
@w1av...
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
As for the microphone question; although I normally use a a large selection of mics, for this piece I used an old battery powered Radio Shack pencil condenser. (I've had it since I was a teenager in the 80s)
Normally, I use it on stage for the berimbau and for the frames quite frequently but, I rarely use it in the studio.

*Because my studio space is small, I had to make several filtering adjustments and actually ran the mic through a pre-amp/filter pedal. I'm actually pleased with how clean the effect was so, I'll be doing more recordings this way.

Silent Night Uke Style by RubyDubidoux 1 year ago

this version seems to have a unique "innocence" to the sound. Very pretty pretty vocals and the Uke creates a great backdrop.
I love the tempo "pick-up" about halfway through and, the harmonizing is a great touch.
