Smoke and Mirrors Percussion Ensemble

Description:

Smoke & Mirrors Percussion is an ensemble of talented musicians who play together in a breathtaking performance. This is a reissue of four songs selected from previously released CD albums. The music was recorded on analog tape through a tube microphone amplifier specially created by Elliott Millwood, using only one condenser-type stereo microphone, an AKG C-24, without any in-song editing. Many innovations were made to balance the sound of instruments used in modern orchestras, such as tam-tams and snare drums, and instruments such as ocarinas and teponaztli (folk instruments made from hollow logs) by adjusting the positions of the instruments in relation to each other.
