There were a number of things I needed to record in the Dubbing Theatre/foley studio. I’ll just present them in picture form…

 

Firstly, I needed to record various everyday objects used in a musical form for the 3rd movement, ‘Integration’, such as vitamin jars and pill packets as shakers:

-My instruments and microphones…

-My microphones positioned (right: Shure SM57 left: AKG C414) with my laptop as a metronymic guide.

-Shaking away…

 

And also making percussive sounds using computer keyboards and mouses (yes, that’s the correct term for the computer kind):

Making ‘tea tinkling’ sounds with a spoon in a mug:

And lastly, the footsteps in time and preferred velocity for what I had in mind to do with them.
