"Sara Gee & Ramblin Matt with Friends Unplugged at Bop Street" is the name of our third Long Play after the public and critics very good reviews and success of our last album, "Ramblers Romance". This new piece of work was recorded entirely in one single take, totally unplugged and live during the broadcast of a Radio Show for two reasons, one being the dirty money (or better, the lack of it) that made us jump to the opportunity of capturing our music on tape.
But the most important it was to face the challenge of recording a session Old School style, with up to nine musicians playing together in a space not bigger than a closet and using only dynamic microphones to capture the sound, all of this in one hour of work just like in the old recordings of the BBC and so many other stations in the 40s, 50s and 60s that used to record the live sets of many artists playing live, some of them to be published years after to become classic records.
To help us to turn this dream into reality we had the pleasure of counting with some of the best musicians of the Blues and Rock n Roll scene of Valencia and with the same spirit of cooperation with other artists of town, we comissioned the painting and cover design to famed graphic artist, and also superb harmonica player Antonio Chumillas, "Tete Chumi" who did a fantastic job, full of personality.
All his work available in his Website:
Sound capture, microphone positioning, hat full of tricks and control by our very own George Martin, Vicente Artal, "Soni".
