Here is the acoustic arrangement of Cinderblocks. I was preparing an open mic sec with an acoustic guitar of what is originally more alternative rock shoegaze. A sudden sonic vision popped into my head and in a 12 hour burst i recorded a acoustic arrangement. Perhaps one of my favourite musical outputs. I will definitely be doing more acoustic arrangements.

I will be reuploading it soon as I'm adjusting some things.

Instrumentation:
Yamaha C40 Classical Guitar (bad intonation)
Yamaha FG750s Beaver Creek Banjitar (six string banjo)
Mystery cajon
Wood no name shaker
Camera:
GoPro Hero 11
Microphones:
Shure Sm57 (used on guitars with at2020)
Audiotechnica At2020 (used on everything)
Shure Sm58 (used on vocals along with the at2020)
Shute Beta 52a (used in the sound hole of the cajon)
Pretty much everything was recorded with dual microphones simultaneously. I found on the acoustic guitars this definitely helped make things thicker and richer sounding. With the cajon it was essential to get the low thud. Next time I may add a sm57 to capture more of the snare, but it sounded okay in this mix. Dual micing with vocals i don't think is necessary, but I did it before, it sounded good so i did it again.
