About this recording:
Audio and video recording, and post processing by Geoff Peters. The audio was recorded using a Sony Minidisk MZ-NH700 and a Sony ECM-MS907 condenser microphone. The microphone was placed on a mic stand in front of the band (visible in the left side of the video frame). The stereo audio file was converted to WAV and then normalized. I then applied some dynamics compression. Video by a Sony Hard Drive Camcorder and synchronized with the audio track using iMovie on Mac.
