            <title>Studio-live album for Nate Maingard</title>
            <link>http://edenmultimedia.co.za</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Described as a wordsmith and storyteller, Nate Maingard writes music  which takes his listeners on a journey of thought-provoking sensation,  inspired emotion and foot tapping catchiness. Thursday we record Nate's second album before a small studio audience.There's something kinetic that happens with the exchange between an artiste and audience in a personal and intimate ambience. That&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;re looking to capture, just like the cool vibe we snapped for Tony Cox, Nibs van der Spuy and Guy Buttery last year. But we've primed this one a bit. Olga Schoeman, a harpist whom we're currently recording a classical repertoire for, will drop her pearls of musical magic about the lucky few as they arrive and later Emre, our shiny pin from Turkey will help engineering the project. More to come. ]]></description>

            <title>SAMA nomination and another album for Derek Gripper on the way.</title>
            <link>http://edenmultimedia.co.za</link>
            <description><![CDATA[In March guitarist Derek Gripper returned to Knysna to record his second album with us, following on from the Sound of Water album we recorded last year which has just won him a SAMA nomination. This time we tracked the project in a small stone church on the Buffalo Bay Rd which has wonderful acoustics. Traffic noise from the N2 was a potential problem so we set up to record between 1 and 7 am on Sunday morning with the benefit of little traffic and denser air. The results were what we had hoped for; a warm natural verb, good sustain and some approprioate night noises. ]]></description>
