Began recording again recently - Membra Jesu Nostri - a set of cantatas by Buxtehude

203.129.62.85

Timbo in Oz

and possibly the first Lutheran oratorio.
Very moving, directed by our own St Pauls music director, and his own 'secular' choir, plus a small orchestra not old instruments but 'hip', and locally-built replica tracked action chamber organ played by our own young organist, James.
I tried a higher and far closer mike position than before at our Church, because of an early reflection just above the choir. The recording may need some gentle Eq in consequence.
Haven't edited it or listened to it properly and got lost in listening to the actual performance.
We do get good headphones for location monitoring which only ram home how far we have to go with 'audio'.
Once I have a level I rarely need to touch a thing.
Had to use a fixed X-Y mike, too. Which will give a fairly narrow stage.
They weren't as good as these guys, but they were live, and they weren't being paid. Mostly very good singing, and I ought to know!

  But I am afraid to die, nevertheless.
  
  Reminds me of the one about Tazio Nuvolari - often injured seriously - when asked did he accept that he might die in another crash and asked where he got the courage to get back into a racing car, asked the journalist where he expected to die, reply 'in bed', asked then how do you find the courage to get into one every night?
  
  It is a great piece.
  
  Wait until I have edited it. Not a lot of work, but I need to get into the station to do it.

    And yes, I'd to hear the recording when you've finished editing it.
    
    As for the Alan Watts quote, the trick is understanding what is meant by 'you'. If you've ever read anything about eastern philosophies, Watts is not talking about the usual Western concept of the individual, or the 'ego'.
