Studio/Recording

Most of my music is iprovised and recorded live by myself in my home studio I call « Studio LaRamée » located in Belgium.

For recording I usually use the following gear :

  • a solid state amplifier head or a bass combo amplifier for guitars
  • a 4 tracks mixer for other instruments
  • a mouth harp microphone into a guitar amplifier for voice, percussion, noises…
  • a digital audio recorder

I edit my tracks using Audacity running on my Ubuntu laptop.

I play on my home made cigar box guitar and my baritone electric guitar made from salvaged wood by Re-Bel guitars , both played through a bunch of effects (mainly some reverb, delay, chorus, distortion, tremolo, and a looper).
Sometimes i also use a couple of cheap analogue synthesizers.
