trillium e recording: pictures from day 1

We recorded Act 1 today at Systems Two recording studio in Brooklyn. My most dreaded high note (a B on the word "catalooooooooooooooooooooooogs!", a really funny moment in the opera) is out of the way. I managed not screw it up completely on any of the three takes of that section.

Anthony seems delighted with how everything went. I've never heard a group this size play his music so well, and it feels like I'm discovering his orchestration for the first time. There are some sections of improvisation for the orchestra, and it's all I can do not to jump in and start improvising with them. The players for this project were selected not only for their chops and musicianship but also for their creativity and improvising skills. The result is astounding. Let nobody say that free improv is for slackers!

Up in the isolation booth, tenor Nick Hallet smiles for the camera, as baritone Chris DiMeglio and soprano Kyoko Kitamura look down at the orchestra.
