Corals
This song is from the album ‘Ancient Fire’ by Flemming Flying & Cathrine Sadolin, released 1995.
Corals describes the immense yearning and the fight and determination to achieve the perhaps unattainable. Inspiration: Elgars songcycle ‘Seapictures’

Music: Elgar, Flemming Flying and Cathrine Sadolin
Lyrics: Richard Garnett 1835-1906
All instruments: Flemming Flying
Vocals: Cathrine Sadolin
Recorded, Mixed and produced: 1995 by Flemming Flying & Cathrine Sadolin
CD mastering: Jørgen Knop

All instruments and vocals are recorded in real time on an Aqai 4 channel recorder and a Sony ECM 989 microphone.
We wanted to see if it was possible to make a recording without the use of a compressor or limiter ect. So to achieve a relatively even input volume during the recording Cathrine kept an eye on the VU-meter and adjusted the volume by moving closer to or further away from the microphone. If a section got distorted by too loud input she resang it.
