To Be Human
This orchestral Album features everything from a 30+piece live orchestra to solo piano. All recorded in Berklee studios by berklee players and engineers. The recordings were then mixed with midi mockups at my home setup.
I had the task of contacting musicians, engineers, and assistants to help me bring this project to life. Many of the people on the team were friends and close class mates, which made this sessions go much smoother. I may have composed, orchestrated and conducted, but it would not have come to life without everyone that helped me.
Overall the process was a true test of what I can do as a composer and musician, both logistically and musically. On top of my studies during my last semester at Berklee it was a lot to stay on top of from managing the orchestra, printing parts, finding the best recording setup/instrumentation, and overall efficiency of the whole production. But I'd do it all again if I could...
