Orgy. You know, like, an Organ. Part 1

Today Matthew and I recorded some organ for a few songs. It's something we've been looking forward to for a while. This post is all pictures. The next one will have the music.

The setup at Stone Chapel is a Hammond Organ(which predates the B3), hooked up to twin Leslie 122 cabinets. It's an absolutely gorgeous sound when you're in the room.




We put the mic about 2/3 to the back of the church and 10 feet up. This was to mic the room, not just the cabinets. Once get this far back, the tone from both cabinets and the reverb of the room all come together.




Matthew wrote and performed all the parts. I played the role of audio engineer (and photographer).




I'm working on incorporating the organ part into the songs. Look for the music samples soon.
