Conservatory Ambience

My middle child had an audition at a music conservatory and as part of that was invited to a rehearsal of a quartet.

I waited in the very reverbient lobby, but the quartet was audible so I recorded some of the session along with the lobby ambience. It was frustrating because they kept being stopped by the director and I really wanted to hear the entire piece, but in a way it was better because what I heard had me dying to know what the piece was.

Middle came through for me and this is the piece but not the quartet: In Memoriam, by Joel Love

I made the recording using a Shure SM63 into a SoundDevices MixPre3.
