Arc et Senans (John Renbourn)
It's nearly a year since I took delivery of my Taran - Rory Dowling's 100th instrument, and would like to share my latest recording which for me works so well on this lovely instrument.
This was composed by John Renbourn in 1990 - inspired by a run of peacocks along the tree-lined approach to Arc et Senans, in France. I don't believe this was ever released as a recording by John. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFphXjp38gg I hope you enjoy this...

Good job. One of the better recorded sounds I have heard. May want to share that and recording setup used on the Record part of the forum.

Wonderful job! I really enjoyed that, Rod. The multiple camera angles are also a very nice touch!
Best, Fred

Thanks Derek, Bob and Fred for your comments and encouragement.
As for the recording Derek, I guess I benefit from having a fairly large room that naturally seems to have good acoustics (traps due to a mezzanine floor, carpets, and uneven limestone walls, etc) so i set a spaced pair of SE2200A mics back about 2 feet, and use a Zoom H5. The only processing was to add a slight amount of reverb with Valhalla Room.

Hi Rod,
Very nice job on this. This is really quite haunting! I remember John Renbourn's version of this song from way back... - Glenn

Thanks Glenn.
Yes, he composed some beautiful and varied music, and this piece especially captivated me. It is also one of the few pieces I have learned and recorded (and therefore played many, many times!) that still seems ‘fresh’ when I play or hear it.

That was stunningly beautiful Rod. Gorgeous sound. That Taran is a stunner too. Excellent

Thanks Phil and Pippin for listening and kind comments, I appreciate the feedback. I would have liked to have heard this played by the man himself but am not aware of any recording.
