On-location recording of a choir captures a unique experience at that specific venue. Many factors make for an exceptional recording of the event. Microphone type, placement and configurations, tonal shaping and atmospheric enhancement that result in an emotional flavour of the performance and interpretation of such a performance. I do not have a set formula for the recording event and post-processing. Instead, I tend to respond to the situational factors such as acoustics, venue qualities, and participant participation. The most important factor is always performance.
The Lighthouse Academy is situated in the village of Fobeni within the Bolebedu area in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. This pro bono recording was made on an off day during a film shoot in the Tzaneen area. The school principal, Marise Jordaan, enthusiastically responded to the idea. The recording was done in the "moedergemeente" NG church building in Tzaneen.
