It’s been a while since Coya was here in Raglan - I can’t remember if it’s a year or two years ago. She came from Colorado and stayed at our place for a few months and while she claimed to be living in a bivouac on the back porch we’d usually find her on the couch in the morning.

While she was here I recorded so much of her “extreme violin” playing that I’m still finding tracks I’d forgotten recording. On the weekend I found this one and mixed it down, with the two takes of her violin laid on top of each other.

She didn’t like to stand in one spot while playing (or anytime really) so we rigged up a mic holder which let her move around quite freely. As you can see in the pictures it’s made from a golf club, 2 guitar straps, some no.8 wire and lots of tape.
