Flute of Shame - These Hands @ Cafe Jazz, Pori, Finland 11/08/2012

NOKIA 808 PUREVIEW
Flute of Shame is made up of three friends that met at The University of Hull, Scarborough Campus in 2005. The members Koop Arponen, James Lascelles and Dane Stefaniuk have been involved in a range of musical projects from an early age.
Flute of Shame was involved to the New Wave Song Contest final in Jurmala, Latvia 2011, where Koop and Flute of Shame won the Alla Pugacheva Golden Star Award.

Koop Juho Alexander Arponen (guitar, keyboards, vocals) was born in Finland 20th April 1984 to a Dutch mother and Finnish father. Koop Arponen is a Finnish singer/songwriter and Idols Winner in Finland 2008. He reached the finals and scored a massive 70,3% of the public vote, after singing 4 songs including Neil Young's Old Man and CCR's Have You Ever Seen The Rain.

Dane Michael Stefaniuk (bass guitar, vocals) was born in Manchester, United Kingdom on the 28th September 1984, where he lived until 2005. His musical roots lie within blues, soul and hard rock. He began composing at an early age shortly after joining his first band at school. 

James Stephen Daniel Lascelles (solo guitar, vocals) was born in South London, United Kingdom on the 13th November 1983 and grew up in Hoddesdon, a town in South Hertfordshire. His passion for music started at a young age, playing music regularly with his father on the guitar and learning how to sing at school. At the age of fourteen James began writing music in a range of styles whilst learning to play drums, synthesisers and gaining skills in recording and mixing his own songs. He particularly took an interest in modern progressive and hard rock, (for example: Tool, A Perfect Circle, Alice in Chains) eventually leading him to fuse these influences to form the band Cassini with musicians Simon Lascelles and Mark Coleman.

NOKIA LUMIA 920 vs HTC 8X
We take the HTC 8X and Lumia 920 head to head whilst recording Nokia's Lumia launch event with Deadmau5. The first two clips were shot at the same time by two people standing next to each other, the second two clips were later in the evening when Deadmau5 arrived at the venue during his live set.

Both were recorded at 1080p and have only been downscaled to 720p for the purpose of this upload.

Following up my previous video showing a 720p recording at a recent Seether gig (see my other videos), I had several requests for 1080p gig review. Well folks, you got what you wished for! The lights were shining straight down onto the lead singer, Josh Todd, and I wanted to use DEFAULT settings to show what normal use looks like. The only change was of course, it was set to 1080p. Hope you enjoy!

Nokia 808 PureView vs. Nokia Lumia 920 Music Concert Recording Comparison

We were recording 23/11/2012 on the gig of Marko Maunuksela & Fantasia with 2 Nokia smartphones. They  played the old Mamba hit "Lauantai-ilta" (Saturday evening).

We know that the world's best smartphone for music concert recording is the Nokia 808 PureView (launched 5/2012), because thanks for its huge image sensor (41MP), it can use lossless zoom when shooting fullHD video. Beside that it has 2pcs HAAC (High Amplitude Audio Capture) microphones which are able to record in stereo without interference sounds at very high level (up to 140dB ) + even the lowest bass notes stand out nicely.

But now (11/2012) came the first proper contender in the market - Nokia Lumia 920. It can, at least in theory, come very close to the Nokia 808 PureView, because it has 3pcs HAAC microphones and the image sensor is now hung on a rack to stabilize the video image optically. This revolutionary innovation is called OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). On the other hand Nokia Lumia 920's image sensor is only 8.7 MP vs Nokia 808 PureView's image sensor is 41MP and so Lumia 920 can not use lossless zoom as like it is possible with Nokia 808. Beside that the audio recording with Lumia 920 has done in mono vs 808 PureView's recording is in stereo - it has been speculated that Nokia can change the audio recording of Lumia 920 later to stereo in coming software updates. I think the reason why it is in mono is that WP8 doesn't support yet stereo recording, because I  found out that it is in mono also with another WP8 phone HTC 8X - here is a gig video comparison of Nokia Lumia 920 vs HTC 8X:
http://nokia808recordings.blogspot.fi/2012/11/nokia-lumia-920-vs-htc-8x-audio.html
Microsoft is making some audio improvements to WP8 with next update which is coming early on next year.

In this comparison video, I'm standing about 15 meters from the stage recording with Nokia 808 PureView and my wife is standing beside me on the right side and she is recording with Nokia Lumia 920. Because Nokia 808 PureView doesn't have any mechanical stabilizer (it has only software based stabilization) I am using a hand held mount as like this one: http://easycapexpertti.mybisi.com/product/handheld-mount-tripod-for-iphone-htc-lg-nokia-samsung-sony-mobile-phones + a camera neck strap as like this one: http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mYby1F0juUI0E3egOEEn-dw.jpg -
Nokia Lumia 920 doesn't need any mount or neck strap, because it has that OIS system, which works very well as You can see on that video.
