Musical Direction

Musical Director services include:

• the selection and editing of suitable music.
• preparation of music, either as written copies for live musicians, as pre recorded ‘backing tapes’ or a combination of both where the sound of a small live band is augmented by additional pre-recorded instrumentation.
• the rehearsal of both singers and band / orchestra
• directing performances from the ‘pit’ either as a playing member of the band or as a conductor

We are also able to offer a post production package that includes the facilities to record a show to a digital multi-track recorder, synchronised to timecode – especially useful when making a recording to accompany a video shoot.  The material can then be ‘patched’, augmented and mixed at Studio Aran for CD/DVD or broadcast use.
