14th-century European music, interpreted by harpsichordist and organist Ilze Bertrand, played from sheet music written in the 15th century from the Codex Faenza collection (Biblioteca Comunale Manfrediana di Faenza). Performed on a medieval clavisimbalum built by master harpsichord builder Kaspars Putrins, based on sketches from the 15th century.

This album was recorded live direct to analogue tape using a Studer B 67 1/4” two-track tape recorder without any editing or overdubbing. Vinyl lacquers were cut directly from master tapes on a Neumann VMS70 cutting lathe using a Neumann SX74 cutting head.

Jersika Records is an independent jazz and improvised music record label founded by Mareks Ameriks in Riga, Latvia, in 2017. Most of the recordings on Jersika Records are made completely analogue – recorded live reel-to-reel to tape and cut directly to lacquer.

Still, even those that went through the digital domain are carefully mastered to preserve the warmth of the sound.
