Some casual recordings came out this week from Kim Moore’s Phantom of the Opera. We did it in Bay 5 of my husband’s mechanic shop at DC Automotive, which has almost perfect acoustics. That’s me playing the flute. 🙂
I know that it’s not Thursday, but these videos came out and I couldn’t contain myself! I had to share them with you!
The Story
I’ve already discussed that I’m directing the music for the musical, Phantom of the Opera by Kim Moore here. These are some of the pieces I’ve been working on with the singers for the past few months. The only reason I’m playing flute for one of them was because it’s a duet and only one person could make it.
When I toured my husband’s new mechanic’s shop before we rented it (more on that here), I noticed the acoustics were amazing. I told my husband that I’m not wasting these acoustics and I’m going to record some music here from time to time. He laughed. Little did he know…
A couple of months went by and it just came to me in the middle of the night that we could do some a capella recordings of the singers at the shop. I brought it up to the producer, she checked on some copyright stuff, and she approved it!
I always take my ideas that I get in the middle of the night seriously.
When the singers came, we had a blast. Our Phantom grabbed a ladder and climbed up to the second floor of Bay 5. He serenaded our Christine from the balcony. We joked around a lot, had a bunch of bloopers, and made beautiful music.
That day is a time I will remember for the rest of my life. I love hanging out with music friends and having goosebumps all day from the music that we make.
