An exciting but sad day yesterday – our final music recording session for The Lost Book. Composer Alexis Bennett (left, discussing the music with viola player Kathryn Jourdan) travelled up to Edinburgh on Thursday evening, finishing off the music on the train. A new set of players assembled on Friday morning. Two exhilarating hours later, the recording was done.
We had new players because our regulars were in another recording studio – the SCO is recording Mozart’s Symphonies 29, 31, 32, 35 and 36 with the great Sir Charles Mackerras this week. You can follow their progress on their blog – it’s a fascinating glimpse of how the orchestra works.
So, we were delighted to welcome Mike Bennett on the trumpet (left), Mark Bailey on the cello (middle) and Kathryn Jourdan on the viola (right). The recording was done by three students from the MSc Sound Design course – Gav Fort (top photo right), Liam Webster (bottom right) and Simon Herron. Thanks everyone for a great session and some fabulous music!
We have some video taken at the session which we’ll post next week sometime.
The Lost Book is an animated web series where you wrote the plot.
I hope you all enjoyed the music session, can’t wait to hear what the trumpet adds. And Mark Bailey on the cello could have been a good tie in with the drinks for Aileen and Kyle. You could have recorded Mark drinking a Baileys.
