Fonè Original Analog Master Tapes

---

Fonè Records was founded by Italian recording engineer and producer Giulio Cesare Ricci. 

Since 1983 the label has been dedicated to capturing music using a strictly analog recording chain and minimal signal processing in order to preserve the natural dynamics and acoustic realism of live performances.

All Fonè analog master tapes are duplicated in real time directly from the original master recording and produced in limited quantities for audiophiles and collectors. Each tape is individually transferred and mastered by Giulio Cesare Ricci using an entirely analog system. 

Each release is produced as a unique audiophile edition with approximately 30 minutes of music recorded in real time. 

Technical specifications:

Tape: RTM / RMG SM900. 

Formats: ¼ inch tape or ½ inch tape.

Tape speeds: 15 ips (38.1 cm/s) or 30 ips (76 cm/s).

Equalization: IEC.

Reel size: 26.5 cm metal reel.

Source master: ½ inch master tape recorded at 30 ips.

Tape recorders used for duplication:  

Nagra 4S – ¼ inch 15 ips.

Ampex ATR-102 – ½ inch 15 ips.

Ampex ATR-102 – ½ inch 30 ips. 

When reproduced on a properly aligned high-quality reel-to-reel tape machine, Fonè master tapes deliver exceptional dynamics, transparency and musical realism that closely reflect the original analog master recording.

This album was recorded during the "Festival Musica delle Tradizioni" on September 2016 in Vicenza. Thanks to the presence of the audience of the Teatro Comunale di Vicenza, Petra Magoni's voice and Ferruccio Spinetti's double bass gave life to an even more exciting and extraordinary interpretation. Verso Sud is a musical journey in Southern Italy and the world in pure Musica Nuda style, that is "instinct and freedom" both in the choice of the repertoire and in the way of interpreting it, with lightness but never without respect.
