DESCRIPTION:
MONOPHONICS jplay three consecutive songs; SAY YOU LOVE ME, BANG BANG, DON'T GIVE IT AWAY. Recorded in true STEREO-SURROUND SOUND at Nichol's Half Shell in Roseburg's Stewart Park during the annual free concert series on July 7, 2012.
Monophonics were formed in 2005; originally an instrumental ensemble, in the last 2 years they have come to find there own sound.

The foundation is the blistering funky drums of Austin Bohlman and soulful bass playing of Myles O'Mahony, fuzzy echo guitars by Ian McDonald, a powerhouse horn section made up of Ryan Scott & Alex Baky and the swirling organ & dynamic vocals of Kelly Finnigan.
The result is a psychedelic soul & heavy funk sound, which harks back to the styling of the late 60's and early 70's, all while keeping its feet planted in the present.
Portable gear used to document this natural outdoor concert environment was Sonic Studios headworn DSM-6S/L 2-channel mic working into a 24bit flash audio recorder system, video from Panasonic FZ100 super zoom still camera on a cheap tripod, and then edited to sync camera video with flash recorded audio in CyberLink's PowerDirector.
Video is a bit shakey at times especially at 32X max optical zoom , but the audio is consistanly satisfying. For more info on using this type of system for documentation see my page at sonicstudios . com / videomic . htm.
