A new Advent piece is up: my mandolin recording from last year, now joined by my flute in a soft, lilting version of the Wexford Carol. 🎶

Gentle, bright, and very much in that purple-hued December mood... If you’re in the mood for something cosy, serene, and a touch festive, I’d love to share this with you. Perfect for easing into that soft purple glow of the season. 💜🎄

Today, I started a new project - a new album with #Baltic music, from #Estonia, #Latvia and #Lithuania. I play new versions of #folk music, on traditional instruments.

But what I always struggle with is the #reverb. How much is nice, what is still natural, how does it sound professional, but not too polished...?

To illustrate, a #baroque piece I recorded some time ago with and without reverb. What do you guys think?
