I received a new instrument yesterday: A Portuguese mandolin! I love how new instruments smells the wood so good! Made of a solid spruce top, maple sides, back and neck, it sounds how I imagined it, it gives this warm “serenade” atmosphere…
So yesterday and this morning was dedicated to mandolin. I had in mind for ages that adding a mandolin part to the final of “A Kind Of Heaven” would be interesting, so I recorded this part yesterday (using my Oktava MK012 mic).
And I couldn’t help myself to play some of this new toy on “The Root Of All Evil Part I”. I’d like to make this song sounds more “ethnic”, adding mandolin and bohdran or even some flute… Well… I can’t wait to record it anyway!
