about

“.In total relaxation, a magnificent dialogue unfolds, with few notes, but in such a way that every note hits, yet much remains unsaid, precisely in the space between the melody and the bass line” -Lex Bohlmeijer Passaggio

It’s magical listening to Michael Moore and Paul Berner play. The music seems to flow in a natural unhindered stream, each note being an obvious continuation of what was played before.
It was a thrill to be in the producer's seat at this session, witnessing these two masters feeding off each other, passing the ball at just the right moment, shaping the songs by polishing, simplifying or embellishing where needed, yet all the time being aware of the freshness and immediacy of creating in the moment.

In order for musicians to function at this level, the environment has to be right.
Engineer Frans de Rond deserves credit for designing a sound stage upon which Michael and Paul could thrive and create.
Frans experimented with various microphone set ups before deciding to keep it as simple as possible by using only the Josephson 700s to record the duo.
When Frans was satisfied with the balance of the musicians and the ambient sound of the hall, we invited Michael and Paul up to the control room, hoping they would agree that this was the sound with which we were going to proceed.
“This is us, this is how we sound, this is so real.“ was Michael's reaction upon listening. Paul just smiled at Frans and said: “Let’s play!“
