Stairwell Sessions 1 & 2: Ambience and Beach Boys
There’s this great echoey stairwell in the business school where I used to work. I’ve started going back over there. It’s got a great resonance and is hidden at the back corner of the building and hardly ever used.
First I took my Yamaha acoustic over there to try out a new USB mic. Laid down a chord progression then layered two tracks of Ebow ambience over it.
Then I brought my 3/4 classical guitar over there and recorded All I Wanna Do by The Beach Boys.
