ELYAS KHAN / FM BELFAST / NIBS VAN DER SPUY - Smalltown boy (FD Collaborative session)

Here's the story of the "cover" project:
For this season acoustic sessions, we asked almost all artists to record the same cover : smalltown boy of Bronski beat.
Why this song ? 1/ because it's only four chords 2/ because it's a well-known song 3/ because we love that song :).
Only 3 artists accept to do it. Why only 3 ? Good question. We always record sessions very fast, in 20 minutes, and the cover was an extra request, so many bands didn't have time to prepare something, to record something, some didn't know the song (liars!).... Anyway. The first to accept the mission was Elyas khan. it was the guitar/vocal base. Then we asked FM belfst, 4 months after, to record the chorus line many times. Then we contacted Nibs van Der Spuy, that we recorded last year to do his tracks too. And we asked the rythm section of a local band to record some parts.
Everybody recorded only one take (well... er... almost) and nobody heard what the others recorded. Suprise for all.
And then, we cut, eq, mix all those tracks together to do the audio. After, we did the same thing for the video... Here's the result ! It's not perfect, but it was the deal. Hope you'll like it.
It's too our present for the 600th show on Radio Dijon Campus. No commercial use !
Thanks to all artists. You did a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally great job !
