In May 2023 I had the pleasure of recording 3 of my pieces with the Northern Film Orchestra: Spring Bloom, Snow-Covered Earth and Eskimo Bob Overture.
A lot of pre-production work goes into preparing the scores and sheet music for the conductor and 60 musicians.
The rush of energy and excitement that I feel when the music comes alive on the day with the orchestra makes it all worth it!
On the journey of producing a final product, it doesn't end there.
✂️ Following the recording session we have a comp'ing session where we select the best takes and stitch them together to form a composite recording. For more on this process watch this: • My First Time Recording with an Orchestra
🎚️ Next, the mixing engineer takes this and works their magic to balance the levels of 30+ microphones to produce a final mix that allows all the right things to stand out and the right time. For more on this process watch this: • My First Time Recording with an Orchestra
🔈 Once we have the final mix, we're ready for mastering. For these pieces I had the pleasure of getting them mastered at the iconic AIR Studios in London.
This behind-the-scenes video documents the mastering session where I'm accompanied by the mastering engineer, Cicely Balston, orchestrator, Dominic Sewell, and mixing engineer, Jack Hughes.
