In the beginning of July 2013 I recorded the Africa Festival Hertme. The sound recordings of Rajery have been used for this video.
New equipment
I invested in new equipment, an RME UFX interface. With this machine you can comfortably record thirty tracks, very convenient when recording worldmusic in Rasa!
Old equipment
I serviced and overhauled two old microphones. A Philips mike from the fifties, it has a good bright sound, useful for electric guitar or as a gimmick vocal microphone. The other mike is a Neumann U67, the studio workhorse from the sixties, a very useful close up mike. Also my old Sennheiser 421 and AKG D1200 microphones are refitted with normal XLR connectors.

Prazak Quartet
I recorded the Prazak Quartet for Concertzender. It was the second time, the first time was in 1987! Now, 4th of February 2013 they played together with 89 years old pianist Menahem Pressler. Famous for sixty years, but still proud of a good review.
