Karttikeya - Numinosum (CD)
Numinosum is an album of quiet contradiction: Meditative yet invigorating. Playful yet thought-provoking. Hauntingly familiar yet utterly unique.
This album by musician, producer, engineer and educator Karttikeya presents a joyous glimpse into the enthralling world of hand pans. In equal parts resonant and rhythmic, these 15 tracks showcase Karttikeya’s deep connection with these incredible handcrafted instruments and deliver a truly hypnotic listening experience.
To ensure that the power and nuance of these performances were maintained, engineers and producers Doug Fearn, Geoff Hazelrigg and George Hazelrigg made use of a single pair of Audio Engineering Associates R44C Ribbon Microphones in a Blumlein stereo configuration through a D.W. Fearn VT-2 Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier feeding the inputs of a Merging Technologies Hapi Analog to Digital Converter. Audio was captured at Stereo DSD 256 and remained in the DSD domain through the entire recording process.
