Ben's parents were in town for his PhD graduation, and he asked the quartet to come over and play a little bit. This is the best explanation we have for why the recordings are so terrible. In all seriousness, the mic placement was really off for this, and in particular the input on Carter's microphone was turned down far too low, so major mixing and processing had to be done to this recording to even make it palatable to the human ear. If you think it sounds bad now, imagine how it sound before the mix!
