SOUNDKEEPER RECORDINGS

Soundkeeper Recordings are produced, recorded, and mastered by Barry Diament... Soundkeeper Recordings are made with all the musicians playing live, in real time. The musicians determine the musical balances and musical dynamics. They are recorded directly to stereo. There are no overdubs. There are no mixes. We call it "recording without a net." The prime interest is in capturing the feel of the performance, the excitement and emotion that make the music what it is. This is preferred over a note-perfect performance with less feel. If the feel is there and the players agree, we consider it a take... Our experience has taught us traditional recording studios are better suited to a different type of recording philosophy than the one we employ. We prefer instead to use spaces in which the performance would best be heard by interested listeners and where in fact, the musicians actually perform their best.
