Dirty Lyre

Dirty Lyre is a compilation of original songs written by four unique songwriters who live and perform in New York City; Chris Barron, Louie Lepore, Talia Paul, and Steve Smithie. The tracks were recorded on four separate evenings at Jacklight Gallery on E. 7th street, between Ave B and C, in the East Village. The proprietor, Walter Fields, a well known artist and long time gallery owner, sat in on the sessions, listening and painting while the musicians poured out their hearts.

The production concept behind these recordings was to use two microphones in the room to capture the natural acoustics of the gallery. No additional reverb was used in the mixing and the result is a very stark and honest reproduction of each artist's performance. In places, you can hear traffic and other noises from the street.
