Details
This CD was originally recorded in 1999 for flamenco dance students at the various dance schools I played at in Adelaide. There is not much to say about it really except that what you see (and hear) is what you get.
I don’t make any fancy claims for this CD.
It is simple what it is; an aid for dance students to practice their steps at home. It was recorded in my
bedroom with a little tie clip microphone plugged into my computer via a Soundblaster Live sound card. The
original mix was rather harsh on both treble and bass. I have since remastered it as best I could to make the
sound a little more balanced.
In case you’re wondering, track 23 is definitely not flamenco.
You might have guessed that already. “Study in C” is a classical guitar standard by Spanish guitarist and
composer Fernando Sor (1778 – 1839). The reason I included this piece is that I used to play it in dance class
when the dancers were doing their exercises in turns. It fitted perfectly with other practice routines as well
and was frequently requested by one of the teachers.
Confession
I shouldn’t really be saying this, but as time marched on I got to like some of the tracks less and some I liked more. I seriously considered leaving some of the tracks off this re-release. But rather than impose my prejudices on you, in the end I decided to leave the tracks exactly as they were in 1999.
So there you have it, ….warts and all.
I hope you enjoy listening to this little piece of my personal history.
