Emma-Lee: Just Looking

Ahh, this is lovely - strains of Edie Brickell, Joni, Sheryl Crow (a bit)... all good things. 

Emma-Lee is a singer-songwriter from Toronto, who produced the record and edited this video herself. [edit: I've just seen from the notes on the youtube vid that this was recorded on a Zoom H4 and edited in Garageband! Wikkid!] 

Lobelia once shared the bill with her in Montreal, and knows her online from way back, and showed me this video last night..  

Enjoy:

Neat. Recording/mixing quality is very nice (even over YouTube).

The Zoom H4n is an amazing recorder; I have a serious recording project (double-bass + voice) that I'm going to record on mine. Probably finish it on Cubase, or maybe Ableton. I'm trying to borrow the very best mics I can - that'll make the greatest difference.

What a great video and song. Love the idea of using the h4 + Garageband, two pieces of tech that are often over looked in their abilities. I love the H4 and was so sad when the one we had at work was stolen, would love to get another.

I quite like recording with random, obsolete or budget gear, kind of Guerilla recording at it's best (obviously like really expensive stuff too!).
