Sorry, I will check. Anyway, the sound samples on the web are outdated,
I will replace them by samples of the CD.

Next Sunday (Sept. 5th) in Großburgwedel near Hannover...

I have to admit that the room was not very easy to use: The church was
actually only the choir of a formerly much larger church. Where the
transept usually begins there was a large flat (sand stone) wall, with
quite distinct reflections. That (and also the presence of the
surrounding noises, wind and harvesters) forced us to the close mics.
But then, I like the presence, I like if you can hear the plain gut
strings rasp and squeak.

Sure, would be interesting. Actually, since the recording I bought a
TetraMic for the university I work for, I definitely would have used it
if I had had it already then...

Actually we plan a concert with Early Music, real time ambisonincs
processing and improvised modern dance (with tracking for 3d sound
interaction). But this is still in the planning phase.
