Shooting pianos, miking chickens, recording bass (guitar, that is) on a
submarine. These are some of the unusual recording techniques examined
in the book, Recording Unhinged: Creative and Unconventional Music
Recording Techniques. Because we all like to "draw outside the lines "
this collection of Sylvia Massy's original illustrations from the book
is a great way to whet your appetite for some real adventurous
recording. Add your own color and excite your imagination! Since we're
all about getting a little unhinged, you might want to make it fun. Try
coloring with strange materials while you're at it. Toe-nail polish and
highlighter pens. Lipstick and blush. Spilled coffee. You figure it out.
Enjoy! And one last tip: you'll find a few special illustrations here
that aren't in Recording Unhinged: Creative and Unconventional Music
Recording Techniques, including one that if you fold it a certain way
(look for the arrows), Neil Peart will turn into the drummer from the
Stray Cats, Slim Jim Phantom!
