Gregory Porter - Live at SUPERSENSE #1

£395.00

ABOUT THE RECORDING

The Supersense palace is always good for a surprise: where else can you drink a cup of coffee next to a real star like it's the most natural thing in the world?! When this star then visits our Living Room Recording Studio to engrave a few songs direct to disc and reel-to-reel tape, no eye stays dry. This is what happened in 2016 at our Palazzo: at the invitation of Universal Music Austria, Grammy winner Gregory Porter visited SUPERSENSE to record a few songs.

"We are doing a live recording straight to vinyl and tape - there is no editing, no fixing, no auto tune, it's just me, the needle and the music. It's exciting, and the reason I prefer this is the humanity to it - there are cracks and wrinkles, which makes it valuable, daring and vulnerable. And all of that comes across in the recording."

- Gregory Porter

We passionately created a super limited edition of unique hand-cut Mastercut Records from this very special tape. Adding hand-printed sleeve artwork, analog instant photography and many other analog treasures to the dazzling voice of Gregory.

ABOUT THE EDITION PACKAGING

Created by Anna, our creative director, and her husband Ema, passionate analog printer and baker, who are running our MASTERCUT print department and are always experimenting with new techniques and concepts. This time inspired by some historic style elements of our wonderful space imprinted onto the sleeve and insert of this edition via a laser-cut wood plate and our Korrex printing machine. The result is a very special package that definitely adds a new spin to the growing Mastercut family. Strictly limited to exactly 99 hand numbered pieces.
