Orchestra recording for Sizzle
Phew what a week. Finished all the orchestral sessions for Sizzle and now we just have to finish mixing in the Floating Earth van outside our house. The trouble with recording first-rate music with a group of first-rate musicians is that they want to make a purely first-rate musical recording. Of course we want this too and we very much hope we achieve it but it can’t be at the expense of the music not only fitting but benefiting the picture along the way. There is no point in recording the most brilliant interpretation of Mozart 39 if it drowns out all the dialogue for example, or taking the Mozart String Quintet so fast that the music ends before the scene. Try telling that to the orchestra though. Film musics like opera, there have to be compromises made in every area and when it all works, the music lifts the action and vice versa, but when it doesn’t…
Our people skills were not enhanced by Seth keeping us awake several nights in a row. I’m trying to feel sympathetic towards him as he’s just had his thyroxine reduced (again) due to the latest bloods revealing he’s hyper. I know he should improve over the next week or so but at 3 in the morning it’s hard to be sympathetic to man or beast. Not that I am calling my son a beast of course!

Flippin’ ‘eck Juliette, how many times a day do you meet yourself coming back?
I’m worn out just reading about your life.
The picture of the twins is lovely…… they are growing up at the rate of knots. All your sleepless nights, worry and pacing the floor in the early hours will one day hopefully, be nothing more than a distant nightmare.
My very best wishes to you and your family.
