Engineered by Mark Ellestad, it was recorded live, straight to disc. This is a single point stereo recording using a jeklin disc and two spaced omnidirectional microphones relying on placement of musicians relative to the microphones for balance and the natural acoustic of the church. I composed eighteen of the songs, drawing inspiration from the changing seasons and improvisational explorations. The balance of the tracks are traditional songs from Iceland, England, Wales, and medieval Italy. https://rogerhelfrick.ca/weddings daily 0.75 2023-01-21 https://rogerhelfrick.ca/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2025-01-22 https://rogerhelfrick.ca/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2023-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1587232622592-NFXVBQ9E8WN1UQYWSN7W/cover%2Bphoto.jpg Performing https://rogerhelfrick.ca/contact daily 0.75 2020-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1586549812665-00BVC67R8DE3CN6B0OXD/coyfull.jpg Contact https://rogerhelfrick.ca/cats daily 0.75 2025-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153604102-YQ86LX390T98Y48XKL8E/DSC04477.jpg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/b5d1a5c4-76fe-47f4-84ec-1ea8c31a0584/IMG_1442.jpeg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153388919-T3K64S951YF80T7UBCO6/DSC04401.jpg Muses Kohaku https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153542033-IDP6ZU0C6WIN0MAZ5K6L/DSC04486.jpg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153604207-GAW8CA0OH4JUTM4VDTNE/DSC04482.jpg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153389023-NYLNSQIPRUG7O4DIE7XL/DSC04523.jpg Muses Shiro Kuma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153542148-PW9S3FJDMRVX27DFTAGK/DSC04553-filtered.jpg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153629916-WSW57WZ3X20XCFBASJKZ/DSC04438.jpg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153389020-EENOTN4AMEMFA7C3NZUV/DSC04653.jpg Muses Shiro Kuma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153542226-IVLI4M009F0FLD58FGHL/DSC04635.jpg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153648301-U69WHYA7WJJJ2TX27Z42/DSC04491.jpg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153542286-68DC5W6Z1MR6ZLYMVW7C/DSC04656.jpg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/cfc2dcb5-778a-484a-aa9f-7c396e994ddf/IMG_0203.jpeg Muses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153406147-6WAANBGLEYL2ANZNZ1SH/Sonja+trois-filtered.jpg Muses Sonja https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c5e19a16694395799a7c3/1582153406157-MGJVEISJ9HIMWMJJL42I/Sonja-filtered.jpg Muses Sonja was one of my muses and these were just a few of her favourite poses.
