Pete Townshend - Sea & Sand скачать видео бесплатно

From Pete Townshend's 2001 compilation Scoop 3.

Pete: "A demo for Quadrophenia this was recorded onto 8 track at my home studio in Twickenham on 1 November 1972.The vocal is compressed using a technique I developed when recording the Thunderclap Newman band for their first album Hollywood Dream. The mike goes through a channel, quite heavily EQ'd. Then it is heavily compressed and then returned through another channel using exactly the same EQ settings. The second EQ pass has the effect of upsetting any level control action in the compressor, but it makes an interesting noise. It's great on bass drum, creating a huge sound from quite a small drum.

When writing Quadrophenia I was inspired by the acquisition of a splendid new Bosendorfer 7'4" grand piano which I still have today. It was squeezed into the tiny room I used then, but it sounded extraordinary, still does. This demo demonstrates how well my songs for the story work (harmonically speaking) without any of the frills I started to add when we recorded the songs with the Who."
