Munk!, a jazz/ska/funk band from Groningen, The Netherlands, has
released an album made with free software, The Magnetophon Sessions.
During the hot part of summer 2013, Munk! stayed at the cultural
freezone Landbouwbelang in Maastricht (The Netherlands) for a week and
recorded seven new tracks in the unique and inspiring studio
Magnetophon. During the recordings we played with the whole band at
once, to get the most musical results. All tracks are
one-take-recordings, no edits where made when mixing the album.
The Magnetophon Sessions is produced with opensource and free software
on GNU/Linux.
Most notably: Ardour2 for recording and mixing, LADSPA plugins for
mixing, Gimp for graphics, Lives for video art.
Recorded & mixed by Bart Brouns at Studio Magnetophon Maastricht

Uhm, giving the fact that I'm the bassist of the band Munk!, mission
accomplished I would say! After all these years learning what is
possible with linuxaudio, learning to work with the linuxaudio tools,
lurking the mailinglist etc. it's done! An album made with 100%
linuxaudio sofware :)
The album is released with an CC license, so feel free to remix. If we
like it we might share it as bonustrack on Bandcamp if that's ok with
you. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/
We're interested to play at LAC 2014 in Karlsruhe btw.
Best regards,

Hello Rosea,
Listening to it now. Sounds way too roomy for me, I barely hear any
close miked instruments. Not that it's necessary but the room in which
you recorded seems to miss some warmth and atmosphere (too much
concrete, too little wood?) so the result sounds to me like there's
lacking some low. Also the room sounds a bit too small and it seems
little or no additional reverb was used so the mix sounds a bit boxy. I
also hear some badly intonated/tuned instruments, especially the guitar.
With regard to the songs, I barely listen to jazz but I do listen to
some bands that have incorporated jazz in their pop/rock sound like
Tortoise (album: Standards), Karate (album: Unsolved) or The Mercury
Program (album: A Data Learn The Language). I highly recommend giving
those bands a listen as I have the idea Munk! is also operating within
this scope. So I favor the tracks that lean more towards pop minus the
Ska kind of tracks as I don't like Ska myself (except for The Specials).
All in all nice job!

Thanks Jeremy, for your lengthly feedback. Not sure if I agree with it
all, but I'm not an experienced sound engineer. Also we lost pretty some
time for tuning the (bas)guitar, so I doubt if that one is not in tune,
maybe its the dissonant jazz sound you're not used to :) Anyway, I
didn't notice it, maybe I hear it when I listen it again. About the wood
and the room, did you see the pictures on Barts website?
http://www.magnetophon.nl/
It's all wood there man :)
In this article you'll find some graphs of the room, not sure how much
that tells us:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/oct10/articles/green-studio.htm
The roomy sound was intentional, for the ska-like songs it might be
interesting to see how it sounds with a more DI/closed mic sound.
Another reason to do it this way was the heat in the studio. It was
around 35 degrees in that week, sweat all over the place, so it would be
even worse if we had to wear headphones.
If I've Off The Chart on my headphone, I like the natural sounding, I
think it's pleasant to listen to. Also I do prefer the trumpet sound
with as less reverb as possible, I think reverb kills the sharpness of
the tones too much.

Hey Edgar,
Thx. Ok, it's always nice to get a 'cha-ching-message' from Bandcamp in
your mailbox, and we're lucky that people took the time to pay a small
amount of money (3 till 10 euro). It would be nice if we could cover the
costs we made for the trip and the studio at the end.
But getting honest feedback from experienced audio guys like you or from
other musicians is equally valuable for us. It's nice to hear that
people took the time to listen and in most cases enjoyed your music.
We're together for one year now, first time in the studio, so there's
also enough room for improvement, feedback helps here.

Munk!
I just played it through and think it's a nice piece of music. I can't
really comment on sound quality since I didn't have time to LISTEN
(playing in background while doing other stuff, sorry), but it seems to
me all instruments are audible with a nice balance. Feels like played in
a wooden room, would fit excellently in a nice café.
Oh, and I think Magnetophon Sessions is a cool album title.
Thank you for sharing!

I liked it, bought it, downloaded it.
Only complaint is that the flute sounds out of tune on track #3.
Other than that, I enjoyed the ska jazz!

Netherlands, has
released an album made with free software, The Magnetophon Sessions.
During the hot part of summer 2013, Munk! stayed at the cultural
freezone Landbouwbelang in Maastricht (The Netherlands) for a week
and recorded seven new tracks in the unique and inspiring studio
Magnetophon. During the recordings we played with the whole band at
once, to get the most musical results. All tracks are
one-take-recordings, no edits where made when mixing the album.
The Magnetophon Sessions is produced with opensource and free
software on GNU/Linux.
Most notably: Ardour2 for recording and mixing, LADSPA plugins for
mixing, Gimp for graphics, Lives for video art.
Recorded& mixed by Bart Brouns at Studio Magnetophon Maastricht

I liked it, bought it, downloaded it.
Only complaint is that the flute sounds out of tune on track #3.
Other than that, I enjoyed the ska jazz!

Munk!
Enjoyed the music, but got the feeling that the vocals were too far back in the
mix. Also 'top end' seems weak - probably due to the mic placing etc.
Interesting venue, and i would think quite inspiring. I get the feeling that in
'Sunguruba' everyone was just totally chilled and having fun - possibly with
liquid assistance :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
