Hi Luis, Of course it's 100 percent live! We recorded it with the stereo mic of the H4 to a 44,1 kHz stereo wav file. We actually played for two hours. Or more actually, but the batteries of the H4 stopped after two hours ;-) Then we divided the long improvisation into twelve shorter parts that make sense as pieces in their own right. It was a great experience to set up a good PA sound and record it acoustically with stereo mic's in the room. You can hear me and my buddy making some acoustic noise while playing, one guy to the left and one guy to the right. And then you hear our noise coming out of the stereo speaker system with reverb or wicked Mobius rate shift effects etc. I have always found it difficult to achieve that close-up presence when taking a bunch of line-out signals and mix them into a stereo master. I will definitely record more acoustically with the H4. We also wanted to go to a nearby temple and record acoustic flute duo's with the almost infinite reverb of that building but time became too short to make that on the same day. Since that temple have only a floor and a concave ceiling on pillars we have to do it on a day with almost no wind at all, because the H4 mic's are sensitive to outdoors (that is if you don't use the covering, but I don't like the covering because it alters the high frequencies recorded).
