1,2,3 Soleil! was composed by French musician and sculptor Muriel Reboul, who I met while living in Adelaide, South Australia, in 2002. We decided to record experimenting with a laptop and no audio interface: all voice and instruments were recorded directly through the audio jack of the laptop, one by one. I love the result, as it mixes Muriel's influences from Provence and the region around Nice, in Southern/Mediterranean France, with my intent to use some identification of her influences with those of the Fado in Brazilian music.
1,2,3 Soleil! by Jose-Henrique Alves
I used Sonar 2.2 by Cakewalk to record and mix. The recording was made over a few days around early to mid 2002. The song gradually speeds up, which required some tweaking of Sonar's metronome. Everything was recorded using a simple cardioid microphone plugged into the mini jack of a laptop audio port. I used a Di Giorgio classical guitar, or was it Giannini?
