Les Instants Chavirés, Paris
March 03, 2011
This release features the single set played by Quatuor Brac--Tiziana Bertoncini (Violin), Vincent Royer (Viola), Martine Altenburger (Cello) and Benoit Cancoin (String Bass)--at one of the premier locations for improvised music: Les Instants Chavirés in Paris.
An intense atmosphere gave birth to a magnificent sonic exploration of simplicity and complexity, density, colours and textures. This is an evening to be remembered and enjoyed many times!
The performance was captured with a close Ambisonic setup (Core Audio TetraMic) and a more traditional ORTF pair (two United Minorities tuned Oktava mk102 cardioids), placed further off, both fed into one of the best microphone-preamps and ADC's available (Metric Halo ULN-8). The stereo downmix features a careful blend of both time-aligned systems.
