Please, our THIRD organ record is ready and downloadable from nativedsd! The organist was Aare-Paul Lattik, who exclusively played works by French composers.
The vinyl record should be ready in October. We used the following microphones for the recording:
B&K 4006, Sonodore RCM 402, LDM54, MPM81 and Josephson C700A. The recording format was DSD256 and the converter was Merging Horus. https://www.nativedsd.com/product/aps04023-st-pauls-church-organ-in-tartu/
On June 14, we recorded the organ of St. Paul’s Church. The organist was Aare-Paul Lattik, who performed works by French composers. The recording format was DSD256, which we use to release a vinyl record. This is the third edition of the Estonian Organs series, which will be published in November this year
In connection with jazz music projects, we were looking for a microphone that could best pick up the double bass. The C700A with serial number 110, produced by the American company Josephson Engineering, turned out to be this. The first tests showed that we have not achieved such recording detail before. The sound image of the double bass is juicy and deep. The dryness and so-called looseness caused by conventional microphones has disappeared. In the near future you will be able to hear our first jazz recording using Josephson C700A.
Being fans of real Estonian music, in addition to “Estonian Organs”, we have started a new record series “Estonian Jazz”. In the new series, we master and release already recorded jazz records and record the best of Estonian jazz in high definition (DSD). The recording medium will be a vinyl record. The first one we are working on is the Tõnu Naissoo Trio LP ’’Turningpoint’’, which was released in 1981 by ’’Melodyija’’. Thanks to the preserved magnetic tape, we can preserve the authenticity and sound of the analog recording on the vinyl record. The album should be ready in May this year. We invite jazz players who want to record their name in the history of Estonian jazz to contact us and arrange a recording time. Contact: dsd@apsoon.com.
We have good news! Niguliste’s organ LPs, which were supposed to be finished in November, were already delivered today. Thank you Santa for such a great gift! The presentation of the vinyl record will take place in February, when LP sales will also begin. We’ll keep you posted.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Allow us to present our studio’s first track recorded in DSD256 format at 2020. Virtuoso guitarist Ain Varts played Steve Hackett’s song Horizons.
We used 6 microphones during the recording: Sonodore MPM81, RCM402, LDM54. The recording device was a Merging Horus and the room reverb was created with an IGS Audio spring echo.
There is Soundcloud to listen in PCM, audiophiles can ask dsf: dsd@apsoon.com
Our first production is available to listeners. On the Nativedsd portal, you can preview and buy a recording of the organ of the Paide Church, where the works of Ludwig van Beethoven, Rudolf Tobias and Max Reger are heard in the presentation of Andres Uibo.
The presentation of the vinyl record will take place in Paide Church already in September. We will announce the exact date in a separate post.
Today we started with the recording of Niguliste’s organ. The organist is Andres Uibo, who performs his own musical work “Apocalypsis Symphony” in four movements.
The recording is carried out by Priit Kuulberg and Aular Soon. The recording format is DSD256 and 9 microphones are used.
We are planning to launch the organ vinyl record and downloadable file as early as December.
