The recording in Calcutta with Cassini’s Division is almost at an end, and as usual there is a new sense of urgency to get everything finished, more importantly because we are a 12 hour flight away from each other and not just up the road!
The recording has been very fruitful and I believe the Cassini’s existing fans will be pleasantly surprised.

I kept the recording as live as possible, and implemented the techniques I have come to be known for such as creative use of mics and spaces combined with amps (though not a full selection) as opposed to music from a box of chips and resistors. Snobby! I know! But surely real is better, in anything you care to mention.

Ideally, it would have been great to have a Vox Ac30, a Marshall 4×12 etc at hand, but you work with what you have got! What we did have is a great studio space and a nice selection of all the usual mics, and, most importantly, creative ideas and the will to use them!

I will be mixing in London before unleashing this monster on the world! So for now, here are some nice pictures.

Si xx
