Hi

A bonus track I recorded with a couple of hymns for church on Sunday - see the Religious Music section for them. This is a short prelude on the hymn-tune Converse. Recorded on my Viscount Envoy 35FV classical digital organ. Enjoy.

Hi Tony,

A very nice piece of music, and a very good recording too. The bass you are playing has come through very well. What did you record this with? Did you have a camcorder on a stand?

Hi

Since Hugh has asked, this was recorded with a Sony HDR-MV1 - a basic camcorder that's optimised for music recording. Some details here. I've had it for a while, so it may not still be available. It's pretty much a stereo audio recorder with a very basic camera attached. It is on a tripod,and set to manual record level, so the dynamics don't get squashed. I'll try and get it a bit closer to the organ next time if I can - it's a small room and there's 3 other instruments taking floor space. Videos edited (well, titles & credits added and top and tail tidied up using Adobe Premiere Elements),

Every Blessing

Tony
