Yesterday was the first recording day, and thanks to Jarrad everything went just incredibly well. Here is a video of hmas voyager : in memoriam in rehearsal just before recording it. You can see Ensemble Offspring’s Bree Van Reyk and Claire Edwardes on vibraphones, Lamorna Nightingale on alto flute, and Jason Noble on bass clarinet. They were joined by just Michael Rohanek (piano) for this piece, to save Jason overdubbing the piano part.

Recording Chamber Surgery was great fun, as you can imagine. Here is Claire and Bree in a complete mess after doing foley recordings of both eating a meal and performing surgery on a body!

This one is a recording action shot… The score is now over 100 pages long, and we’re going to have hours of recordings to play around with for the installation to create incredible sonic variety for every visitor to the installation.
