Singer Songwriter from East Timor Music Album CD

Randa Santo (East Timor) Music Production
In July of 2009, I received a rather unique inquiry; a lady from East Timor writes her own songs and would like to record them. On our first meeting, and upon hearing the songs for the first time I recognized the musical and logistical challenge that the project presented; we'll have to decipher and transcribe each song from the vocal parts, then arrange musical parts and conform the rather unique beats and rhythm of the original format to pop standards. Inside, we talk about the project and share a music video, too!

Voice of Zion Choir in Concert at Philamlife Auditorium – Choral Recording

Voice of Zion is the music ministry of Westminster Student Church in Manila. On Feb 7, 2010 they celebrated a 60th anniversary concert at the Philamlife Auditorium in Manila, Philippines.

We were asked to do remote recording of the choir's full concert program. 16 songs for a total of 90 minutes worth of audio, maybe longer. Inside, we discuss our remote recording set-up and conifguration. We also share videos with audio recordings of the choir's final rehearsals. Featured here are the songs "The Lord is My Shepherd" and "Salmo 150".

A Capella Manila Choir – Remote Recording

A Capella Manila is a choir composed of professionals and students from various schools, universities and companies in Metro Manila. We arranged to conduct a test remote recording session with them at a huge residence in Makati.

We brought our remote recording studio equipment and set-up a multi-track system by assigning one ribbon mic for each voice section Soprano, Tenor, Alto, Bass (STAB). We also set-up two stereo microphone systems, a Blumlein with Royer SF12 ribbon and a spaced pair with Peluso R14 ribbon to capture the stereo spread the room. Condenser mics by GrooveTubes were setup as the mic for the solo singers. Inside, watch a video with photos and audio of the choir.
