Sound
Recording
We provide support for piano recording and musical direction in recordings and concerts featuring the piano, ensuring that the acoustic refinement we apply to the instruments is accurately captured in the digital recording.
We have conducted research and analysis on piano recordings, collaborating with renowned sound engineers such as Tó Pinheiro da Silva and João Magalhães.
Music communicates through sound, even though it can be represented through writing.
Over thousands of years, musical instruments have been designed so that the sound they produce reflects the musician’s intention as accurately as possible, using acoustics to convey that sound. The first sound recording dates back to 1857, when sound waves were captured, but the recording could only be examined visually. In 1877, it also became possible to reproduce the sound from a recorded capture, marking the beginning of the acoustic era, followed by the electrical, magnetic, and digital eras. Throughout this entire journey, recording equipment, the sensitivity of technicians, and sound aesthetics have evolved alongside music, musicians, concert halls, musical instruments, playback systems, and audience expectations.
Our hearing functions in a more complex and interpretive manner than sound recording systems. This is why not only is high precision in recording (as well as top-quality components) necessary, but also the application of extensive experience and sensitivity throughout the entire post-production process, which culminates in the mastering of the tracks.
The piano is one of the most complex instruments to record and therefore requires special care. As piano tuners and technicians, we have the privilege of spending many hours listening to pianos—across many models and from various listening positions—and working very carefully on tuning and voicing, which define the sonic character of each instrument.
