Focusrite // Recording Solomon Grey with the Clarett 4Pre

We hired a beautiful-sounding abandoned warehouse in leafy Buckinghamshire (the HQ of Focusrite) and invited Solomon Grey and their string quartet to perform 'Epitaph'. We tracked the strings, vocals, keys and Ableton Live triggered software samples only using the Clarett 4Pre, with an additional headphone amp to supply more foldback channels to the string section.

Strings: Ruth Elder (vln), Honor Watson (vln), Jo Galton (vla), & Rob Lewis (Vcl)

Epitaph Lyrics:

I never meant to see you
running for your life
the streets where we were children
Pass me by
Our voices keep on playing
ask me why
we will be remembered
if we will be remembered

I hold what we'd forgotten
like tapes we left behind
the houses which we lived in
haunt me still
will people recognise us
who can tell
if we will be remembered
if you will be remembered

Down in the soft
Grass we lie, so bright
Down in the half light
We hide, so bright

Everything will pass
I'll see you
