David Torn Improvisation Streamside House Concert

This fan video captures one improvisation of several performed by David Torn on guitar at the intimate Streamside House Concert in Arden, North Carolina. David’s performance was in support of his improvisational solo album, “only sky“ out on ECM Records. This video is more about the audio aspect than and effects straight from David’s amp, no PA or house board. All audio improvised live. Audio recorded on a Zoom Q3HD as the primary audio located 12 feet directly in front of David’s amp, JVC shotgun mics on cameras and a Digital Reference DR-CX1 as a room mic at about 24 feet back powered by and recorded on one of the cameras. Video recorded with 2 JVC GY-HM150U HD 1080p cameras (These cameras require indoor lighting to achieve broadcast quality.) David was informative, a gentleman and answered all questions on his approach and perspective to modern guitar, improvisation and production. Torn is a must have in any serious collection!
