This was a challenge because I knew the sound I wanted, but it was very difficult to get there. I've got a surround sound version that does better, but I can't put it on a CD.
I was trying to capture the sound of a boy's choir I heard in a stone cathedral. All those voices reverberating off the walls. It was impossible to tell where the sound came from - it was from everywhere and wrapped around you.
