![]() The music is haunting, evocative of the place, and quite unique. ![]() 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. It features Steve Gorn on bansuri flute, clarinet, and ocarina. Here's a recording that was really done just for the music. My favourite binaural recording is Tony Levin's "From The Caves Of The Iron Mountain" Even though the microphones are in close proximity the resultant recording has amazing depth and three dimensionality. Most folks who experienced this were quite shocked.Ī true binaural recording made with this technique is extremely interesting to listen to. If, however, the person didn't follow the same course everything got fouled up bigtime when the recording went around each corner. The playback sounded totally normal under these conditions. When listening to the recording being played back over phones (Sennheiser of course ) the listener was instructed to walk the square pattern in the same manner and sync as when the recording was made. It was a simple recording of a person walking around a room in a square patern. A binaural recording was made using the Sennheiser dummy head mic system. Do I have my definitions wrong, or is the use of the word more broad than I had previously thought.ītw, I was part of a real neat AES experience back in the 70's. Also Capitol used to call many of their recordings binaural and they were not this type of recording either. Obviously the binaural recordings Steve mentioned were not this type of recording. ![]() I've noticed Steve mentioning binaural recordings quite a bit and thought a thread devoted to binaural recordings was in order.įirst of all, I always thought that binaural recordings were meant to be played back through headphones. ![]()
