Blow Thy Winter Wind - Raw

I caught a cold and have found no creative time this weekend as I had hoped. So, for now, I’ll post a recording of Sepidah Moafi and Jonathan Shue performing “Blow Blow Thy Winter Wind (Hey Ho The Holy)” that I’m using as the basis for my souped up and produced version that I’ll post on this site soon.

In Previews

 

I’m sitting at my tech table in row H seat 214 watching Rick and our actors refine the Rosalind/Orlando courtship scenes.

Previews are a wonderful gift if you can get them. Watching the show before a live audience a few times is a fantastic way to gauge what works and what needs help. Each preview gets better from my vantage. The show is becoming clearer to all of us.

I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve been living with this show for about a month now and I’m still finding new intrigue in the show. New insights. New wonder.

As for the sound design, I’ve added a few “babbling brook” sounds for today’s performance. I think it sound work especially well for the “sermons in stones” speech. A few more tweeting bird sounds as well. I’m hoping it will ground us in the forest a bit more…

I think it’s safe to say that I can UPS my keyboard back to Atlanta and save the theater a bit of money rather than taking it on the plane with me. $175 is now the charge for an oversized bag on Delta. Damn!

My wife and babyciao are headed out here tomorrow I can’t wait to see them. My sister and her family are on their way down from Eureka on Friday for opening night, add my brother and his wife, and my DAD who hasn’t seen a show that I’ve been a part of since I was in high school, and I have a family reunion at hand n the next few days.

Wedding Dance - v2.0

Here is a revised version of the wedding dance sequence. The job here is to play the individual couples as they dance in this order (every 4 bars):

1. Orlando and Rosalind (Harp)
2. Celia and Oliver (Salsa Piano)
3. Phebe and Silvus (Pedal Steel)
4. Touchstone and Audrey (Circus Music)

After the individual dances the women have a dance routine for 8 measures and then the whole thing ends with a kiss from Orlando and Rosalind…
