Shooting pianos, miking chickens, recording bass (guitar, that is) on a submarine. These are some of the unusual recording techniques examined in the book, Recording Unhinged: Creative and Unconventional Music Recording Techniques. Because we all like to draw outside the lines, this collection of Sylvia Massy s original illustrations from the book is a great way to whet your appetite for some real adventurous recording. Add your own colour and excite your imagination! Since we re all about getting a little unhinged, you might want to make it fun. Try colouring with strange materials while you re at it. Toe-nail polish and highlighter pens. Lipstick and blush. Spilled coffee. You figure it out. Enjoy! And one last tip: you ll find a few special illustrations here that aren t in Recording Unhinged: Creative and Unconventional Music Recording Techniques, including one that if you fold it a certain way (look for the arrows), Neil Peart will turn into the drummer from the Stray Cats, Slim Jim Phantom!
