Live Recording Editions
All analog direct to tape sessions with carefully selected artists
Again in close collaboration with Universal Music Group, we started to invite an increasing selection of the world's most influential and brave artists for intimate all analog Live Recording sessions to unique locations.
Their performance is mastered and mixed on the fly and directly recorded to analog tape. From this one-of-a-kind mastertape we thereafter cut our Editions in real time.
Supersense founder Florian "Doc" Kaps says:
"We always love to compare this process with catching a butterfly without causing damage to its super fragile wings. In our case, the butterfly is a magic sound wave carefully preserved in authentic grooves with the best analog equipment we can imagine, including the legendary DECCA WSW Console and of course our unique cluster of next generation cutting lathes."
LIVE RECORDING EDITION NO. 3
JACK SAVORETTI / LIVE AT SUPERSENSE
We are very proud to add Jack Savoretti as the third artist to our bespoke Mastercut Live Recording Series. This time the intimate recording took place in the living room of our artist apartment Top 5, one floor above the Mastercut cutting room / studio in the presence of only 15 friends.
LIVE RECORDING EDITION NO. 2
GUY CHAMBERS
Guy Chambers is one of the UK's most successful living songwriters and musicians! Having worked with outstanding artists all over the world, including Tina Turner, Kylie Minogue, Will Young, Scissor Sisters, Busted, Melanie C, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, James Blunt, Rufus Wainwright, Mark Ronson and many more, Guy is best known for his collaborations with Robbie Williams, co-writing some of Williams' most iconic hits including "Angels", "Millennium", "Feel", "Let Me Entertain You" and "Rock DJ". In June, 2022, Guy took on the challenge to perform a selection of his favorite songs live on the living room stage at the SUPERSENSE palace with nothing but a Bösendorfer 230VC and some carefully selected positioned microphones, recorded straight to disc and tape with all analog studio equipment.
Live Recording Edition No. 1
Gregory Porter
The Supersense palace is always good for a surprise: where else can you drink a cup of coffee next to a real star like it's the most natural thing in the world?! When this star then visits our Living Room Recording Studio to engrave a few songs direct to disc and reel-to-reel tape, no eyes stays dry. This is what happened in 2016 at our Palazzo: at the invitation of Universal Music Austria, Grammy winner Gregory Porter visited SUPERSENSE to record a few songs.
Live Recording Edition No. 1
Gregory Porter
After the Premiere Cut Edition of this legendary live recording session of Gregory at our SUPERSENSE palace sold out in weeks, we decided to celebrate this unique and very intimate recording with a new edition. Created by Anna, our creative director, and her husband Ema, passionately analog printer and baker, who are running our MASTERCUT print department and are always experimenting with new techniques and concepts.
