8/11/2023 0 Comments Benson sound trax home pageSilent Link was written a number of years ago after watching David Olusoga’s ‘A House Through Time’ which explored the history of a house in Liverpool, so I thought it would be good to include a song with a local theme. The others were songs that I’d written and performed, but not had the chance to record. I thought the story of Lily Parr was worth sharing through a song and felt that the EdenHurst Session was a great opportunity to record it. LN: What influenced the choice of songs that you performed? I am particularly thinking of Lily, which is one of my personal favourites.ĪB: Lily was reasonably new to my repertoire – I think I’d written it in February 2021 and with the lockdown, it hadn’t had a public airing. I should say that the atmosphere on the day was great – really warm and welcoming. I loved that it was live, as I think that the little adrenaline boost that you get with a live performance comes through in the recording. ![]() I’ve recorded before in the studio, but never live, so I’ve never had the pressure of getting it right first time and there’s been the possibility of trying out different things, adding extra layers or taking them away. LN: The format of the live session sounds daunting, was it?ĪB: It was really daunting but in an exciting and energising way. The idea of recording cover from Klee’s label really appealed to me, as I knew there would be the challenge of choosing a song from such a diverse range of performers, learning it and then making the version of it my own. I liked the idea of a live recording and being part of a project that involved lots of other artists as well – even though we weren’t working together. Liverpool Noise: What was it that made you want to be involved with this Klee Music project?Īlison Benson: I’d been hoping to become involved with Klee Music for a while, so was pleased to be asked to take part in this project. February’s release is from Alison Benson. The session will then be deleted for download purchase, although it can be pre-ordered throughout the month of release. ![]() Throughout 2022, Klee will release one session by each Artiste, available for download on the last Friday of each month. The sessions were filmed and edited by Scott Mealey, and the tracked audio mixed and mastered by Paul Cullen. ![]() The Klee Music EdenHurst Sessions was a programme to record and film twelve artistes over the course of 2021 at Liverpool’s 3rd Planet Recording Studios, under the watchful eye of up and coming Producer / Engineer Jose Ibanez.Įach Artiste performed, under live conditions, a five song set including one cover song from the Klee Music Publishing UK catalogue.
