Classic Pianos - WA
Capturing the Performer's Perspective (headphones on for immersive audio)
Have you ever played a Bösendorfer? Matt Frazier from DPA Microphones recruited our own Ben Klinger to give us all an opportunity to hear a magnificent instrument (in this case a model 280VC) exactly as a player does. He utilized only a DPA Microphones A/S 4560 binaural headset microphone (you can see Ben wearing it) running into a DPA MMA-A audio interface (which was connected to his phone). No filtering or processing of any type was employed.
Though the space was not designed for recording, you can still hear a sense of dimension not typically experienced with traditional piano recording techniques. Depending on the context, this approach might not wholly replace the direct presence of a recorded piano. As a blended element, however, I think there is real potential for capturing unique nuance and depth. Check it out.
Special thanks to Ben Klinger and Classic Pianos - WA in Bellevue for making this recording possible.
