And Also the Trees New album

Matthew Devenish from Mu-Mu has recently been recording AATT in the depths of the Herefordshire countryside in a wonderful old Tithe barn. Our Soundfield has been pressed into service as the main recording microphone for the Drumkit - What a sound! Further sessions are planned, so more photos to follow.

Rachel M Davis Releases "Dreamcatcher"

Rachel M Davis has released her first commercial Album of original Piano tracks. Mu-Mu were very pleased when Jerry asked if we would be prepared to record Rachel. We decided to use Wyastone Leys in Monmouth as they have a great Steinway and a very good sounding space in the concert hall. It was a great pleasure working with Rachel and Jerry from start to finish. The compositions are all beautifully played and have a quality and depth that sets them apart from the crowd. We are certain that this will be a very successful record and will surely bring Rachel to the attention of a much wider listening audience.

We would like to wish you every success, and look forward to working with you both again soon.

You can find out more about the album on Rachel's website, as well as purchase the CD and the sheet music.

And Also The Trees Live In Berlin 9th July 2010

Matthew was once again out on tour with And Also the Trees. This time they were performing acoustically at the invitation of performance artist John Bock. The concert was situated in front of an exhibition he has curated at the Temporäre Kunsthalle in Berlin called FischGrätenMelkStand.
The echoey acoustics presented one or two challenges, but by keeping onstage volumes down and not chasing high SPL's a good sound was achieved. The more than capacity audience of over 400 people loved the performance.
