All smiles of anticipation for the start of the orchestral recordings for ‘Backtrack’. Michael Petroni (writer and director) and I had just finished listening to a selection of suspended cymbals and piatti before the start of day 1.
The two days went incredibly well and we recorded the entire 73min score with only a little overtime on percussion overdubs. It was such a pleasure working with The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor, Adam Klemens. Our recording team, in particular, Vitek Kral (recording engineer) and Stanja Vomackova (translator/session assistant); were wonderful to work with.
Also, a big thank you to James Fitzpatrick, from Tadlow Music, who was our fixer/orchestral contractor and liaison for all things to do with Smecky Recording Studio and Prague in general!
We’ve just finished the 5.1 mixes and I can’t wait to attend and participate in the final sound mix up in Sydney. More photos to follow in the next few weeks!
