"Aeriloquy" Original tune recorded in a studio

[CC_PDX]

I booked some time at a local studio back in October and just told the engineer to keep the recording going while I played a relatively random assortment of music for a couple hours.

I'm finally sifting through the results and took the opportunity to practice some of my video editing skills. This is a short theme I came up with years ago for use in a film and decided to revisit it on the box. I posted more about the microphones / placement in another thread for anyone interested

Nice subtle mood...

Sounds nice. I wonder why the mics are placed quite high compared to where the sound comes out on the accordion.

Probably to keep them out of the frame in a head on shot... and why is he doing it? Likely because he can get away with it in that room's acoustics without a big loss in quality.

That studio room is two stories high and is pretty big overall. The owner/engineer had only recorded one accordion prior to this, so could have been a case of fresh eyes, calculating reasoning or he was winging it.

Right, but it is still close enough that there is no room "presence" in the recording... I don't think he was winging it.
