I spent a few days last week recording the wonderful Vicky Swan playing her Nyckelharpas @ State Of The Ark studios in Richmond. It's a traditional Swedish instrument that is a bit like a Cello or a Viola, (and is bowed), but has keys which kind of act like frets (and make a cool cuh-CLUNK sound). Here's a snippet of what a Cello 'harpa sounds like 'in the room', and then a short video showing the cello tracked along with the viola. Enjoy!

Was working in State of the Ark Studios in Richmond a short while ago and noticed this hanging... above the toilet. Terry Britten is the owner of the studio (and grammies). Quincy is that guy that worked with that one dude.
Not a bad message for ol' Terry to receive from @quincydjones
