Charlemagne Palestine, Oren Ambarchi - Café OTO - 3 April 2012

I had played safe tonight and set the mic to low gain.  Although the performance did get louder, it started out very quietly, just wet fingers on the rims of wine glasses.  It's about 16-17 minutes in before the volume increases noticeably.

BJ Nilsen, Oren Ambarchi, Daniel Menche - Cafe OTO - 2 April 2012

It can be very difficult to anticipate sound levels for electronic music.
And the Zoom H2 mic setting is a rather primitive three-position switch.
For both the Ambarchi and Menche sets, I had to drop the level part way through as things got louder than expected.
I have tried to balance this as best I can in the edit, but you will notice the switch.
If you think you could do a better job, leave a comment or contact me direct and I'll let you have a copy of the source file.

Oren Ambarchi & John Tilbury, Cafe OTO, 3 September 2012

Oren Ambarchi - guitar, electronics
John Tilbury - piano

This is a somewhat flawed recording.  Based on previous Ambarchi performances, I initially set the mic to low gain.  But here he was keeping the volume at a level compatible with Tilbury's piano.
The performance started VERY quietly and didn't get much louder.  So I successively increased the level to medium then high, unfortunately introducing some mic scraping into the recording.  Recording quiet source material at high gain also captures a lot of unwanted noise.
(Yes I know I should invest in a lavalier mic).

(The date was 3 September, but some of the files are mislabelled 5 September.)

It looks like this session now has an official release
