PianoTape by James Hegarty
Recorded in June, 2024 on my 1964 Yamaha G3 piano. Five free improvisations based on the idea of evolving particles of interconnected but intentionally contrasting musical gestures. The Interludes were edited in Logic using clips from the improvs and are intended to reflect the concept of tape-based hard edits and loops.
The recoding was made direct to 2-track 1/4" tape at 3 3/4 ips with a pair of Shure SM81 microphones and a two-channel Black Lion Audio Auteur Mk II preamp. The tape recording was transferred to Logic Pro for editing and light multi-band compression.
