Yarlung makes recordings in concert halls, not studios. Their albums captured the sound of Sophisticated Lady  playing in a real acoustic space. Yarlung  used one AKG C24 stereo microphone provided by Jon Fisher at Gearworks Pro Audio, with the addition of one AKG C12 for a small amount of reinforcement for Gary’s bass. Elliot Midwood designed the microphone preamplification, and we recorded directly to RMGI 468 tape on our analog recorder with tube circuitry designed for Yarlung by Len Horowitz and to high resolution digital media. Steinway technician Robert Koning kept the piano in beautiful shape for our recording.
