We bumped into Glasperlenspiel guitarist Nico Schliemann at musikmesse 2018 in Frankfurt. He was playing GrandMeister Deluxe 40 for a week using the Red Box DI on the Silent Stage, so we asked Nico all about recording and playing live in silence, tubes versus modeling, and a bunch of other stuff... enjoy :)
You can skip to the bits you want by using the chapters here:
0:45 What the hell is Glasperlenspiel?
1:48 Recording guitars without speakers
3:00 Making the change from micced cabs to more modern solutions
6:36 The new world of cabinet emulation and impulse responses
7:53 Nico’s recommendations for home recording and live: from plugins to tube amps
11:26 Nico’s current live rig for Glasperlenspiel and stage volumes
12:25 Playing dynamics and moving air: playing live with ‘real’ amps and cabs
13:48 Nico’s amp recommendations for small and large gigs
15:49 Nico’s recommendations for a home recording setup
16:53 “Don’t make yourself reliant on gear!”
17:52 Nico is more nervous playing to 20 people than to 20,000 people
