Recording and Production

Langsomt Mot Nord: Recording. Ola Snortheim and Morgan Lindstrøm.

Recording and production (01): Ola Snortheim and Morgan Lindstrøm.

The clarions to the right were used for sampling the horn-sounds applied in pieces like "Gjallarhorne", using the AKAI samplers in the background. After sampling several tones and mapping them to different keyboard-zones, the same clarions could subsequently actually be played from the Roland MKB-200 mother-keyboard. The same techique were used for some other instruments, as well as the human voices, on the Westrveg album.

The main studio of Rainbow Studio, Oslo, which was used for recording the acoustic/electric instruments for "Westrveg". The image shows the grand piano used by Eva Knardahl on "Seljespretten". The studio was also used to record willow flute by Steinar Ofsdal, oboe by Brynjar Hoff, hardingfele by Knut Buen, violins by Atle & Carl Anders Sponberg, plus guitars by Jon Eberson. For guitars, there was also used a smaller and "tighter" studio, in the same location. Technicans: Jan Erik Kongshaug and Øystein Boassen.

Equipment that was used

Langsomt Mot Nord Equipment

Equipment (01): Total equipment used by LMN in the Westrveg production.

Langsomt Mot Nord: Silence Studio 24-Track

Equipment (02): The 24-Track Recorder in Silence Studio.

The recordings of Olav Snortheims horns were transferred to 24-track tapes alongside with the basic keyboard-parts and a sync-track. The tapes were brought to Rainbow Studio in Oslo, where the parts of the soloists were recorded in two days. The tapes were returned to Silence Studio, for the final production and mix-down. At mix-down, the IBM-computer was synced to the 24-track, and up to 26 channels were playing "live" from the synths and samplers, controlled by the recorded MIDI-tracks in the sequencer.
