"Heroes" (David Bowie cover) - Uketations

Another in our occasional Uketations sessions! David Bowie's "Heroes" from 1977. As is the standard, rehearsed, performed, mixed and mastered within a few hours on the day. The ukes were mainly recorded with a pair of SM57 microphones, through Universal Audio Unison Neve 1073 preamps. The vocals were through an OPR U87 mic into a UA 4/710 analogue preamp. I've used a couple of my ukelele sample instruments creations: my Decent Sampler sample packs of both the standard ukelele and the baritone ukelele, which are available free on pianobook.co.uk. (Note: There are fourteen ukelele parts in this recording - including two of the sampled versions. Other than the vocals, there are only two instruments that are not ukeleles - can you pick them out?)
The drone footage is over the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne using a DJI Mini 2.
Everything performed, recorded, mixed and mastered at my place: Guffland Studios.
