House Of Cards
(Steve Kirk)
September 12, 2012
Steve Kirk, John Hanes and Andrew Higgins
The world is melodrome
Fool for thought
Whatever spell she had
Fell to not a word
To be heard
Evidence was a style withheld
Once, in a way of legaldom foretold
Born of shadows ‘cross the field
Take one feathered look-
What was the sight of her song in the marrow?
Another gaze, sapped of strength and
All too undone- in display, cast away
Each card to the ground and told all,
All was gone
The world is melodrome
Oh, food once thought
Whatever sell she had
Fell to not a word
To be heard

This cold world

Smeared soul of earth
Struck with the grand ingrate slap
Once vast well of life
Now rots beneath our step
Oh, oh my love my life oh please be mine again

Producer_TripleMic_Sample
(Steve Kirk)
November 29, 2012
Here is a sound sample using the previously posted mic setup on the Producer amp:
The Lawson and Heil mic were both going through the Manley Dual Vocal Combo preamps, with a very conservative touch of limiting, and the Royer went through the AEA Ribbon Mic Pre. Recorded through a Black Lion Audio modified Digidesign 002 rack.
Rhythm electric is the CG1 guitar in the Producer "American" channel, instrument at full volume with the amp volume at about 2 o'clock, no bump.
Solo guitar is a Les Paul custom , instrument at full volume, "British" channel almost all the way up, no bump.
Acoustic guitar, Gibson WM-45 with 2 Michael Joly modified Octava MK-012 mics in XY stereo .pattern using the Manley DVC with limiting, high shelf eq boost and low shelf cut- all these setting fairly conservative.
