Hans Theessink – Hard Road Blues

HARD ROAD BLUES was recorded analogue and in one cast over 2 nights at the OPUS Recorder Music Studio in Austria. It was quite a meditative affair, which was captured very well by sound engineer Andreas Fabianek. A vocal mic, a guitar mic and a few other microphones were used to capture the natural space. The recording sounds very organic; You can feel every movement and breathing and can literally hear your fingers dancing on the fingerboard.
