John Fahey
Rain Forests, Oceans, And Other Themes
Album US 1985 on Varrick Records label
Rock (Acoustic)
The sessions which produced this album took place in Cascade Recording Studios, Portland, Oregon, during November and December, 1984, and February, 1985. This studio was at one time a small church with a tiny pulpit and choir area at the north end. Here, Mr. Fahey and Mr. Robb sat, facing the three omni-directional Telefunken 201 microphones which were especially modified by Eric von Helmholz. These microphones were hung so as to preserve the proper intimate atmosphere. Once the controls were adjusted to the delicate sound of the guitar(s), the microphones were never moved; optimum recording levels were set at the beginning of each session and never changed.These guitarists, Fahey and Robb, were the persons solely responsible for the musical flow of each performance.
