What a P.A.R.A.D.E!
Sunday marked the final performance of P.A.R.A.D.E., and what an enjoyable journey it has been. We were featured in the Guardian too (click here for the link), where Judith Mackrell describes my manipulation of the original score as a ‘rich clamour’ (I am assuming rather presumptuously that this is a compliment!). It was such a great experience to be a part of this project and I look forward to November when it will be aired on BBC4 – more updates to follow!
Parade Recording with BBC NOW
Tonight I listened to BBC NOW recording Satie’s ‘Parade’, conducted by Martin Yates. I will be using the recording as the basis for a new work written for Marc Rees and National Dance Company Wales. I will be posting much more about this event over the next few weeks and this recording session marks the start of a lot of studio work for me! The first performances are on the 24th and 25th of October in the WMC in Cardiff with performances in Pontio, Bangor shortly afterwards.
