Most of these recordings were made at home while the church was closed due to Covid-19 restrictions. I generally don’t record music in church as I have enough to do, though (like the Exsultet at the top) I do occasionally record myself singing using my mobile phone. I often sing psalms after mass for the psalmists to record on their phones to practice with, but I don’t often record myself.

For 14th June I hope you’ll notice the different organ stops… I’ve acquired an iPad simulator of a pipe organ ‘St Just in Roseland’, which is a Cornish church. This is played using the same two keyboards and pedals that I usually use, connected by a midi cable and then hooked up to the sound mixer.
