“november twelfth, two-thousand evelen” Live Recordings
Staged in Peterborough, at a coffee bar titled The Spill, Kaleb Hikele played two sets parted by an intermission, during a matinee concert at the venue. The concert was recorded direct to cassette tape with a Sharp Cassette Recorder RD-767AV, evident in the warping of sound and manipulation of pitch throughout the set. This was available for Free download for the month of December, 2011.
“Demonstrations” was a collection of 26 off-the-floor performances of unheard music by Kaleb Hikele. A majority of those songs had never been heard by anyone in any venue at that time. The recordings were in their most vulnerable and natural state, being played on one instrument with a live vocal, and mixed in a single channel ‘Mono’ sound at a low Mastering volume to preserve dynamics. Some songs were unfinished, where you could hear the shuffling of papers, explaining, coughing and refraining verses to translate the songs as they were in May and June of the year 2011. The 26 recordings were available free for 26 summer days.
