“The music production under the Master number 20/2012 in compact disc (CD) format is of approximately 60 minutes total duration. The recording of the Greek composers’ unpublished works for double bass and piano as well as the editing of the sound material was held during the period of June 2012 – July 2013 in the Music Technology Laboratory of the Department of Music Science and Art of the Faculty of Social Sciences Humanities and Arts of the University of Macedonia, from Evgenios Politis (double bass), Christina Sidiropoulou (piano) and the Department’s Technical Staff Member ( E.T.E.P.) sound technician Fotis Sakalis.

The recordings were made on a Kawai mod. RX5 Piano and a Grancino(1693) replica of František Posta (1919-1991), solo double bass, constructed in 1988 in Möhrendorf-Erlangen by Walter Sandner, with solo strings and tuning F#-B-E-A/F#-B(H)-e-a. Two condenser microphones Neumann Tube H-149 and AKG c12vr were employed in order to obtain comparable potential alternatives for the formation and selection of the original timbral qualities of the solo double bass sound range. Two NEUMANN ΚΜ184 condenser microphones were used for the piano stereo recording”.
