Here's an offering that was done just for the music. Steve Gorn on bansuri flute, clarinet, and ocarina. Jerry Marotta on Taos Drums and various percussion (including a garden weasel!) Tony Levin on Stick, some bass, and a rare Ned Steinberger designed acoustic upright bass. All recorded inside the Widow Jane Mine, in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. The music is haunting, evocative of the place, and quite unique. The small lake inside made for some wild acoustics, and Tchad Blake came in to record the project in his unique binaural style. (Tchad wearing the microphones in his ears, sometimes walking around as the music is recorded, sometimes even out in the water in a boat.) When you listen on headphones it is exactly like being there. Titles of the tracks come from various locales in the Catskill Mtn area we all live in.

I have listened to this a couple times now, and it really is an amazing experience... Close your eyes and you are there! You can move around inside this cave without lifting a finger. The music is very primal...

If you've never heard a binaural recording before, you're in for a treat!

Highly recommended...

Do Binaural recordings sound any good on non-binaural phones?

What about on speakers?

 

[Phloodpants]

Binaural recordings are meant to be heard on regular headphones. No crossfeed should be used.

It doesn't sound all that great on speakers though. That's why good binaural recordings are rare.

The MP3 samples sounded promising, so I ordered a copy. Thanks for the tip.
