One day before the concert I traveled from Hamburg to Weimar with 11 bags and 75 kg of equipment. We then added two large PA speakers from EFIM, a few mic stands, a bunch of XLR cables and power cords to the cache and brought all of it to the beautiful Lutherkirche in Apolda.
This is my setup in front of the altar.
From left to right, top to bottom: STEIM Cracklebox, Eurorack patch cables, “Symphonic” skiff, Landscape Stereo Field and SOMA Pipe.
My recording setup was under the table and another station up at the organ.
From left to right: SOMA Flux, Moog Claravox and my table for more electronics.
The first clip from Apolda will be released on July 23, the birthday of Theremin virtuoso and film music composer Samuel Hoffman.
Michael von Hintzenstern at the Sauer-Organ from 1894.
The organ was miked with a close XY setup (Rode NT-4 XY) and wide AB (two LOM Ucho Pro). I had also set up a nearfield monitor for Michael von Hintzenstern.
Here are some nice photos from the evening’s concert, all shot by Britta Rehder-Geßner, the chairwoman of the Förderverein Lutherkirche e.V.
