Unique NYA Moments

Archives Guy has been providing us with lots of innarestin' insights into NYA of late.

Here's some that caught our eye when AG was asked about some things even he found to be "unique":

- Songs - "1956 Bubblegum Disaster" & "Slowly Burning"
- Video - film clip from a bootleg record store
- Artifact - that's tough, but I like the original lyrics to Cinnamon Girl, and Neil's Sultan/Aurora letter to himself.
- Production Trivia - On the "Behind The Barn" interview, when the surround mix was created for the interview, we located the spot behind the barn where Neil had been lying and set up 5 Neumann mics in a surround array. Then we placed two big PA speakers where the original truck had been and played Words thru them at full stun.

This created a natural surround recording, bouncing off the hills just like in the original moment. The new recording was mixed with the original interview to create the same experience for the listener that Neil had.

Stay tuned for more Q&A with AG.
