Happy 2019 to all. Last month I promised everyone monthly updates on my project Landscapes. In order to stay on track in the project, I have to write one movement per month, which comes out to writing two to three phrases per week. Due to my dilligence in December, I’m ahead of schedule, having written the first five phrases of Landscape 2: Snow.
Rather than give you folks any samples or details from this work in progress, I’ll share with you an orchestral reading session from November 4th, 2018 of the orchestral overdub of Landscape 1: Forest (phrases 7 & 8). This recording session is courtesy of the 99 dollar orchestra (based in Lisbon, Portugal) . . .
While I am satisfied with the recording of the phrase 7, the orchestra majorly screwed up phrase 8, they played the rhythm of the main motive as 1+2+3+(4), while it is supposed to be played 1+(2)+3(+)4+.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to edit it sufficiently to correct this problem, so I may have to do a second reading session. Disappointing to say the least.
