About this listen

Stereo, mono, binaural or surround-sound ?

I've worked with this episode's guest in all these formats and more over the many years we've been working together - but which does he prefer, and why ?

Richard Durrant describes himself as an "Indie Classical" musician, which I think is a pretty good summary - but doesn't really take into account the fact that he also toured with Sky, worked as an accomplished session musician for many years and has released albums in a brilliantly eclectic variety of other genres and styles over the years.

In this conversation we talk about:

  • Why Richard records in an "acoustic igloo" (and what that is)
  • Mic techniques for guitar and dealing with "wolf notes" on stringed instruments
  • Real spaces versus digital reverb
  • Touring (and performing) with a bicycle
  • Performing Bach's cello suites on Banjo and Ukulele - how and why
