THE DARK HOUR (First test with Zoom Q8 video camera)

The Dark Hour is the last track on my latest album Hidden By The Clouds.
It was sparked off when I read about the "Dark Hour" in Robert Macfarlane's book "Landmarks" It's described as:
"interval between the time of sufficient light to work or read by and the lighting of candles - therefore a time of social domestic conversation ("We will talk that over at the dark hour") "
Other influences were - The wonderful Flying Pig pub in Cambridge closing, the sound of a wineglass being accidentally hit while being tilted!, and the books "The Case Against Reality by Donald D. Hoffman, and Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake.

I decided to buy the Zoom Q8, to simplify things when doing videos. It has 2 XLR/1/4” combo inputs, plus it’s own mics. I went from the back of my amp to a DI, then into one of the inputs, and combined that with the cameras mics. I still need to try a few more settings, but quite pleased with this for a first attempt..
