Orchestral Playing -- DEO + SMCO

I have just completed a full week of rehearsals, recording sessions and performances with the Deep Energy Orchestra (DEO) and the Seattle Municipal Chamber Orchestra (SMCO.)

I have been involved in this project since the first sessions a year and a half ago. The original live recording sessions were part of a grant by the Jack Straw Cultural Center here in Seattle. I hadn’t met any of the players, except Jason, when I showed up for our single afternoon of rehearsal before the two evenings of recording. These recordings ended up on the release Playing With Fire which went out on my own record label 7d Media.
