BORDOGNI The Complete Book of Vocalises Vol. 1

Back in 2020 - at the start of the pandemic - I was practicing in my basement garage as I didn’t have access to any other large space in which to play. I had recorded and released several etudes at this point - but this was the first large scale recording project where I would record a complete book of etudes. Or in this case - Vocalises. I had also just started recording using my Royer r122 MKII ribbon microphone - so lots of experimenting was still taking place!

Nonetheless - these Vocalises have been a constant in my daily practice routine for many years. Though not always technically challenging, they always require more chop and musical stamina than what they look like on the page. Hence my interest in practicing and recording them as a way for me to have stayed in shape while not working in mid-2020.

Enjoy!

- Chris
