FM Acoustic – From The Vault – These videos are NOT about sound quality – because being recorded live in the room on a simple mobile phone with all its colouration, distortion, resonance etc… (which can be experienced for instance in the Lecuona section, where the music really shows the limits of the phone’s microphone (in the range between 1200 and about 4500 Hz, it gets very bright, NOT like what is heard in the listening room). With these limitations sound quality cannot be breathtaking.
“From the vault” is planned as a small series about “known” music, some “less known” music, music rarely heard, fine interpretations, known artists as well as less known artists.
It is a totally personal choice – not at all what some would call “objective”.
What I am aiming at is not to boast about sound quality but to share some music – and a bit of history and maybe a few experiences of a lifetime in audio.
There may be questions as the sources are not always – but sometimes they are ! – first hand experiences.
This is a very simple format and very limited. It is not rehearsed or “produced” (and unfortunately no one applied make-up on my face…); there may be wrong dates, names, titles and other matters; your understanding is appreciated.
Academics, scholars, experts in the field may criticize “inexactitudes” and they may declare this approach as simplistic – which it has to be because of its very limited scale.
For me it’s all about the music. Human enjoyment is analogue, personal and – I am quite sure – will remain so.” – Manuel Huber
