Understatement by RVC

8:56 minutes (8.18 MB)

A recording during an improvisation, together with Jan. I was recording my new Marshall for the first time and it took a while to get the best connection. I think I found a better connection afterwards: the amp has an emulated Cabinet (4x12") output, which I can connect using an XLR cable and a plug to a Jack-connection into my audio interface.

The lyrics were already written and during a break at noon I recorded them. I used my Sure SM58 (for which I have reasonable hints that it's a fake).

En Passant par Wissant by JH

4:09 minutes (3.8 MB)

Originally from Willem Vermandere, from the "Omzwervingen" album.

Concerning Hobbits by JH

3:03 minutes (2.79 MB)

Our version of Concerning Hobbits, by Howard Shore, from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. This is a recording from our rehearsal.

Napoleon crosses the Alps - The Pullet by JH

1:46 minutes (1.61 MB)

Two irish traditionals: "Napoleon crossing the Alps" going directly into "The Pullet". Again, from our final rehearsal.

Silver Droplets by stefkeB

2:48 minutes (3.85 MB)

This is a recording of Silver Droplets to reflect how the song was when played live, as discussed here. Although the sound is different. This is a Marshall amp emulation from the POD X3 Live recorded in Ableton Live. The actual performance was my real Marshall and the Digitech Jamman Looper pedal (which can not do direct sound-on-sound after the first recording starts looping).

But this version reflects the mood and feel of the way it was performed.
