RECORDING


I'm one of 16 women in a choral ensemble and we recording an original work today in a professional studio. We had mics, music stands, and even our own headsets. It was such a unique experience.

The songs are flooded with emotion (and it's music that particularly pulls on my heart strings right now) - but there were so many technically challenging elements that there were moments when the emotion seemed to come second to the structure. There was such a fine line between the two that it was truly a lot of work to make it sound completely effortless.

But from the snipets we got to hear played back to us, we did make it sound effortless - and I'm very proud to be associated with this beautiful group of talented & generous women.
