First, some live recordings of songs we’ve posted on YouTube. Note that if the video seems grainy you may want to go to the gear symbol (the YouTube playback settings) to select higher resolution video.
A Mandolin Orange song (Watchhouse), Until the Last Light Fades. Shot in November of 2024 on a beautiful afternoon out at Fred’s home in the Galisteo Basin. This link will take you to the video on YouTube.
An original, Fire Down the Valley. Our first test recording, to see what kind of quality we could get from one iPhone (the video) plus our mixing board (the audio). This link will take you to the video on YouTube.
