Recording the music Monday, 26 January 2009

We’re recording the original music for episode 1 today! The recording session is taking place at the University of Edinburgh’s Music Department, with students from the MSc Sound Design doing the recording and editing. Three players from the SCO (viola, cello and trumpet) are signed up, and Alexis is coming up from London to conduct.

Once the music has been edited, it will go to sound designer Stephen who will be putting together the final mix of the soundtrack. Last week Stephen produced a first and second mix of the sound effects: it’s coming together nicely. The characters are definitely coming to life!

Oh, and this is going to be a week of interviews – it’s time to find out more about the team – so there will be plenty of words plus the occasional mug shot.
