About Solo Cello Improvisations: Tracks 1, 4, 5, 7 recorded by Dave Willey in June, 2006 in Four Mile canyon, Boulder, CO, on a Howard Needham 2004 cello.
Tracks 2, 3, 6, 8 recorded by Jesse Manno in “The Tank”-- a 75 ft. tall x 30 ft. diameter empty water tank in northwest Colorado 2004 (courtesy of Michael Stanwood and the “Order of the Tank”) on a Knilling “Portacello”, which was the only cello that would fit through the ~18” diameter portal into the Tank. What you hear is a result of the natural sound characteristics of the chamber; there is no added reverb to those tracks.
Mixed, mastered and produced by Dave Willey and James Hoskins. Copyright 2006.
