Last Run Home

By Sarah Ballard Music

Last Run Home

An original piece of upbeat folk music featuring Violin, Low Whistle and Penny Whistle as well as layered vocal harmonies.
Inspired by the journey home after a long time away - being united with loved ones.

I used a ribbon and C414 on the violin to get the rich tones of the wood. Parts were doubled for depth and layered with harmonies to thicken the texture. The low whistle and penny whistle were done in the same way - mixing between the two microphones to get the best sound. I also used my Martin Acoustic guitar tuned to DADGAD and recorded it with the ribbon on the body, the C414 on the neck and a DI for clarity.
Vocals were layered using the C414 to record and a producer a drummer friend recorded the live drums and helped with some of the mixing.
