The concert hall (Fartein Valen) has stunning and intimate warm acoustics.
Celesta is a classical keyboard instrument, known for its bell-like sound. When two celestas are played together, the resulting timbre and overtones gets more lively and enchanting. With multiple mic positions allowing you to easily incorporate it into your mixes.
Stavanger Symphony Orchestra generously borrowed us two celestas. A new and an older model. A pianist was set to play them simultaneous in unison. Reaching one hand on each instrument. You really don’t hear that there are two celestas sounding, but the resonance sound fuller and more varied, vibrant and enchanting.
Recorded in one of Europes finest sounding halls, Fartein Valen.
