I really like your work Bruno. This is wonderful...both in the playing, the arrangement, and the production.

One of your best i've heard.

Classy, artistic, and engaging. Loved it!

A beauty of an instrumental Bruno!

The sound on this is excellent. And the playing. I love the rhythm and the violin is a tasty touch that is darn near as perfect as strawberries on a banana split.

Thank you for all your very kind comments.

Here's the techy detail.

I tend to flip between styles a lot, I know. This one is left and right Brook (two tracks - I didn't play the harmonics on the second track, which caused the harmonics to sweep a bit) - played with the claws rather than a pick (this is really how this guitar should be played). I have no nails, so I finger pick with the fleshy tips of fingers, which is something I've always done - and sounds quite a bit softer I think.

The big Djembe doing the big boomy sound - hole facing the  mike, and small djembe miked from the top. The fiddle was recorded with the mike in the room (not closed miked) and I added lashing of reverb and echo, which gave it quite a far away feel. The recorded violin can sound quite harsh, but I think the far miking help to soften the sound. I recorded the Djembe first with a click track to keep the time, then guitars, second djembe and the violin last.

I mastered with the acoustic setting - I didn't really EQ anything on this - its all pretty flat.

An earful of awesomeness, bro! Really enjoyed the violin and the picking, what a great DIY composition!!

Definitely one for the PiePod
