On Saturday 12th March we recorded the orchestral soundtrack to The Music Shoot at the Red Bull Studios in London Bridge. What a great place for an orchestra of 6 plus a conductor (thanks Stevie) and our Producer Lucy and I to all cram into! The arrangement of the Mozart pieces from The Magic Flute was done by Simone Spagnolo, a fantastic young composer in his own right. Thanks to our musicians and to Nigel, our Sound Engineer, the mix sounds brilliant – a very rich sound that seems bigger than the 6 players we worked with. It works really well both with the film and  backing our live singers that accompany the screening.

Such an extraordinary place.

A big thankyou to Shannon at Red Bull Studios for making that happen. And to Lolo for putting the call out!

I’ve been shooting an OPERA FILM in the awesome Hospital Club TV Studio! It’s called The Music Shoot and it uses some of the arias from The magic Flute to tell a slightly different story about a fictional music video shoot that goes haywire. A lot of the story happens ‘behind the scenes’ so we’ve been splitting our time filming inside the studio and in the lovely dressing rooms and greenroom. We’ve had a great time – insane and fun and ambitious. Many, many great people got onboard. Big thanks to Lolo and Suzanne, Jim and Rob at the Hospital Club Studio for making it possible. Here are some pics…
