It’s been a long time coming, but now (finally) I have a short video that you can watch of me in action.
The video is taken from the Orchestra I created for the “Sound Ideas” Project a year ago. The piece is The Green Hornet from the movie Kill Bill (and originally I think from a Bruce Lee Movie of the same name). Dave Livesey is conducting and the venue is the Adrian Boult Hall at the Birmingham Conservatoire.
The Orchestra is great and I might add a taster of the rest of the concert in the near future.
The Orchestra had 5 2hour Rehearsals which we crammed 50 people into a lecture room to accomplish. In reality after the set up we had a total of 9 hours to rehearse 40 mins of music. The result is fantastic as you will see.
It was a first for me to stand up as a soloist in front of an orchestra and also to performing from memory but apart from a couple of corners that I wish I could redo it sounds pretty good. It was also really great fun!!
So here it is, and please post your thoughts on;
