It’s a tribute to the quality of an artist and its sound engineer, when a band with music and harmonies as intricate as the Dirty Projectors can sound as excellent as they do on this recording. At Terminal 5 last Saturday, September 11, the Projectors tour in support of the expanded edition of ‘Bitte Orca‘ (due September 27) arrived in NYC. Even on a night when indie fans had other choices for music, the band’s increasing popularity resulted in a sell-out of this large venue. The highlights of the set included a superb “Temecula Sunrise” (streaming below), and the beautiful performance of “Two Doves” featuring Angel Deradoorian.
Johnny recorded this set with a four-microphone rig from up in the first balcony at the soundboard. The AKG’s capture the vocals well, while the DPA’s are excellent for the rich bass presence. This recording is perhaps the best we’ve ever captured in this venue. Enjoy!
Special thanks to Dirty Projectors and Domino Records for making this recording possible, and Terminal 5 head of security Mike for his courtesy and cooperation.
