Live Deep Honest

A classical guitarist trained in Madrid and Salzburg, Ricardo Hwang performs alone here. With no backing track, the program gives the guitar the whole stage, moving from the prelude to La Catedral through “Una Canción Para Mi Madre” and “Estrellita.”

No Editing, No Retouch, Just One Take.

This series started with an idea from CHERRYJAVELIN. We make it together. He handles video and I handle live recording and mixing.

This set is classical guitar on its own, with no backing track. I captured the performance live and mixed the recording.

i wanted to hear a person right there with the guitar

we redid one piece because his water bottle was in the frame

he asked if we could remove it with computer graphics
