Recording "Au Monde"

Au Monde was a creation of composer Philippe Boesmans after a theatrical piece of Joel Pommerat.
The recording was simultaneously for the Flemmish Television. 

Instruments

There were 8 DPA 4006 on the string section and one on the timpani with an APE and 4 Schoeps MK2 on the woodwind section.  On the Piano we had a pair of Schoeps MK2H.  Apart from a very large spaced pair of Schoeps MK2 in the Hall, all other microphones were cardioide.

The Doubble bases had a Neumann M149 and U87.  On the accordeon and harp were Neumann KM184.  There was a Schoeps MK4V on the Celesta and 2 o percussion.  A Schoeps MSTC5 on toms and conga's and a Schoeps MK4 on the G.C and tamtam.  All brass (including the French Horns) had a total of 4 Sennheiser MKH40.

In addition there was a distant couple of AKG C414 in the hall.

Voices

On Stage we installed 5 Schoeps MK4 as directional boundary microphones and 2 Neumann KM150 For the voices.  The set was a closed box and there were not much more options for installing additional microphones.  All singers had Wireless microphones and some had different costumes with different microphones prepared.  A total of 12 wireless Microphones were used.

At some point in the show, we needed to amplify the voice of Ori, played by Stephane Degout.  He was installed off stage in front of an AKG C414.
