Our friend Kavi Alexander’s of splendid Water Lily Acoustics label tribute to the legendary Rupert Neve. “No, I did not win a Grammy nor make a platinum album using Neve gear… But I did take his gear to amazing places, to record sacred music…Here, in a 1000-year-old Buddhist monastery, deep in a bamboo forest, in Xiching, China. Recording a Guqin master in a thousand-year-old Buddhist monastery, set on a mountainside and deep within a bamboo forest. Young monks who were most gracious and helpful, listening to the playback.”
