“Finished the DEATH AND THE POWERS recording today with two fabulous sessions. All the singers, the BMOP players, conductor Gil Rose, and the whole recording and tech team did an amazing job. I am SO happy that the music is in the can; now we enter the editing and post-production phase which will take a while but will be a total pleasure. Look for the release this spring!!”

The tech team - with MIT's Ben Bloomberg standing with a cupcake! - taking a brief pause during the intense recording sessions. The computer was straining under the number of tracks and length of sessions, but we finished it all up right on time.
John Macdonald playing up a storm on Keyboard 1, a super-virtuosic, multi-timbral part which is central to the opera.
Livia and Joel at the controls.

Great string playing.
Getting ready for Scene 6, with Miranda and the Delegates.
With Joélle Harvey, an absolutely angelic Miranda.
The cuddliest sopranos (well, one's a mezzo) I know, Joelle Harvey and Patricia Risley. Awwwww.......!
Smiling brass section. Smokin' too!!!
