Saturday july 25 2015 Photo’s from the concert “Live To Two track“ with:
Atzko Kohashi
and Sebastiaan Kaptein
Recorded at Rhapsody by ANALOG MASTER TAPES
Atzko Kohashi & Sebastiaan Kaptein
We asked Atzko some time ago if she was interested
to
do a analog recording with her, she was surpriced why not
record digital because she
liked the articulation.
So I told her the in’s and out’s about recording to analog
tape,
She was still not convinced, until we did a short try-out ..
She was completely
blown away ! Atzko: “Ohh … It’s like a mirror !!”
This Time she brings Sebastiaan
Kaptein to do a concert at our store Rhapsody.

PREPARING
We dicided to record this duo at Rhapsody in Hilversum (the
Netherlands)
to catch a nice home’like’ ambiance and a great vibe on tape.
The complete
signal path is done purely analog with serious
power conditioners and cabels form
Shunyata and Audioquest,
The mixer and recorder are Studer’s from the ‘70
We monitored
on TAD and Moon

RECORDING
Atzko began playing a free improvisation on “Blue In Green” ..minimal touches of
Sebastiaan on the snare and the ride is filling a nice floor of mistical sounds,every
fine detail is visable on tape so we have the noise floor under control :) The very
nice harmonic playing of Atzko brings a smile on your face and what a musical woman
she is.. it is unbelievable how well and beautiful she can play! For us she is Art
! Atzko begins to paints her way to the music then Sebastiaan makes it all visable
until it’s completely finished.
Recording to tape and keeping the signal path completely
analog
and in shape with modern technics, results in a very high-end quality
and
“live-like”sound stage.
It’s not even compared to digital at all.
