impressive. loved the virtual sellotape on the recording room door :)

fun combination, early music and VR video...
at least the palestrina soundbite does not work, though. instead, your 
provider throws up some really helpful advertisements.

i'd be very interested to see you guys live at some point.

as to the mixing, i can see how it makes sense for most consumers to 
have a very present, in-your-face mix to listen to in your car while 
returning from a live concert, but i find the sound a tad too "loud" and 
close-miked given the material and instruments. but then i have a taste 
with no commercial potential whatsoever...

next time you meet for a recording session, would you mind me crashing 
the party with an ambisonic mike in the middle?


best,
