Bibio - Bewley in White

[GeoAl09]

vintage bibio

[93smittyson]

this is a great song, but does anybody know how he gets his signature acoustic sounds? sounds really full but also a little out of tune or something.

[newwave808]

@93smittyson I think he's recording the acoustics with old microphones. I'm just guessing though.

[whiteshipmusic]

@newwave808 i think it's less old microphones and more the fact that he was recording it onto tape, whether it be a reel-to-reel machine or a low-quality cassette.

[RatherCrunchyMuffin]

@93smittyson I'm under the impression that he actually records himself playing an old parlor guitar. He studied at middlesex university where i think he went into the experimental direction after already playing guitar.

this is so sad

one of my favorite Bibio songs by far though

[Mannex17]

drop your MPC and pick up your guitar again bibio

[MrMshr00m]

@Mannex17 Actually a lot of bibio's acoustic tracks were produced on the MPC as well, most of the album Vignetting the Compost was made with the method of sampling bits of his acoustic playing.

Take care

Wow, I read the comments saying this tickles and was like '''what the hell, how can a song make you tickle''. Then I listened to it.........

[theindiefanclub]

I love the way all of Bibio's things are so noisy. There's a lot going on, even on simple tracks, the sound is so full, and stays quite mellow. :)

[larcaster]

it makes me jizz all over the place :)

[CoooolBeaanz]

Oh my god, the end when that flute or something comes in is make me poop my pants <3.
