Behind the Scenes of Recording "A Light Divided" at Silent Zoo Studios

Behind the scenes of the recording sessions for "A Light Divided" at Silent Zoo Studios with the amazing team of the Joy Music House Workshop.
Silent Zoo Studios, the home of some of my favorite scores, was a terrific space to record this piece with some of LA’s most talented musicians. The piece was recorded over two days with 25 minutes for strings and 25 minutes for winds and brass. Recording is always a wild ride, a collaborative process between the booth and the musicians, facing all the technical difficulties and time constraints together.
Videographer Don Downie recorded two days of recording sessions showing the hard work process of recording music. I also took video while on the trip and added it in. I composed with a piano and a notepad, then input directly into Dorico. During the composing process, I take walks with my dog and in this video I included a voice memo with the music idea for this piece.
