Thanks Caliko! :D It was fun trying to get that erhu melody to feel right, particularly when it slides...I went with the variable-length-appogiatura approach. And, of course, thank you for making the medley. I hope to record more of it when I get the chance! I've been tinkering with mic stuff (time sink lol)...I got omni capsules for my rode NT5s, which made them sound much more natural than with the cardioid. They're placed near the bend of the fully open lid peeking in at the soundboard. No EQ, and full pan L/R like before. I'm liking it like this...it's far away enough that I don't feel like I need reverb, and it's close enough that things sound clear enough.
NO WAY!! I was so excited and surprised to see this in my sub box today - I rarely see anything from Land of the Lustrous. Cinnabar's Theme is so lovely, and you captured it so beautifully here. I watched this show a few years back, and listening to you play this theme is making all of those nostalgic memories flow back to me. This theme in particular always really stood out to me. I really want a 2nd season, too 😭. Bravo, Marc! Fantastic rendition. I'll have to check out Caliko's medley!
Thanks! I ought to re-watch it...I remember it had some of the best character development I'd seen in a while, but I hardly remember what happened in it! Caliko's medley is awesome, so you're in for a treat. (Really, the whole OST is a great listen, too, both in terms of the compositions and the performers. Really good violin and erhu soloists...)

Wow, the sound quality is fantastic! And your expressiveness is completely off the charts here, love love love the voicings

It’s a beautiful singing melody, so melancholic and dreamy ✨
