Modest Instagram-style year-in-review.

The recap will be brief.

I decided to write a recap, but before New Year there was somehow no time for it, and during the holidays there was no decent internet.

2013 was like a storm, tossing me back and forth.

On the pleasant side, there were three new countries over the year: Thailand, France, and Sweden. In France, though, I did not see anything besides Paris, and even there I only moved around the center, but I explored Thailand and Sweden quite closely and in several places.

As usual, I will illustrate the year.

The year was insane. Packed. With everything that follows from that.

On Saturday we went to an Est Est Est concert at the Kitaysky Lyotchik Jao Da club. I recorded the whole concert on a Zoom, putting it on the sound engineer’s table at the last moment. It turned out better than what we could hear ourselves. Several new songs. I want to try recording bootlegs at concerts. A first attempt.

I am not going to record sound near the stage anymore. Especially when there are live drums. I tweaked it as best I could, but I still do not like how the sound turned out.

An insanely awesome concert, tons of positive energy, a very cool musician :)

Rock and roll from Deep Purple's vocalist (more precisely, he was the singing bassist). The last song has audio from the built-in Canon 60D microphone with the recording level limited. It does sound rough, though, because I was filming at stage level from the side — there you get hammered by the drums from the kit itself rather than from the speakers, and everything else comes from the monitors and amps.

That was a great concert. At the time it seemed to me to be one of the best ever held at Aurora.

Well, time to wrap up two-thousand-and-eleven. I want to remember only the good — that’s what I’ll write about. Or not exactly «good» — but definitely not the bad. And since I took quite a few photos, I’ll use my own. The post turned out huge, but that’s because of the pictures.

My Rode Stereo VideoMic couldn’t handle loud gigs and was clipping the sound. On Tuesday I became the proud owner of a great little device, the Zoom H4N.

Decided to get an external microphone for my Canon 60D DSLR, to record video at concerts with decent sound. After a bit of googling and brainstorming with @theproof, the focus settled on RODE products.
