He and The Lumineers play Coors Field on Friday
at Coors Field on Friday, July 22, and hopes he can capture that same intimacy on the stage.
The Boulder-based musician's albums showcase the breadth of his songs, a feat achieved through a meticulous recording process that appreciates and harnesses imperfections to augment a classic sound. Isakov says he places particular sounds — often instrumentation that would not be found in folk songs, such as a synth replicating an organ, an e-drum layered over a traditional one — within his tracks to add texture, guided by their individual emotive qualities.
Such intricate sounds are picked up because of the type of microphones he uses, as well as the way he plays. The mics are two RCA A440s — those big, classic, tank-looking microphones that you'd imagine a young Ella Fitzgerald singing into. The mics are panned hard right and hard left, positioned a little out of phase, creating minor imperfections.
“When I first started getting into recording, I would just crank reverb. I thought reverb was amazing; it made everything sound awesome. Then over the years, I realized that dimensionality is actually what I wanted, but I didn't know that yet,” remembers Isakov. “I’ve realized the room mics really do that for me, and there's hardly any reverb on my records anymore, because there's so much depth on everything.
