Subject: [Amarok] MO Interview in Resolution magazine

Hello,

In Resolution magazine (a UK/ International
publication on Recording, Multimedia, Broadcast and
Post Production as it related to audio) has quite a
big feature with Mike in his new studio/s. Picture on
the front cover and everything. It's the V6.2 March
2007, and the interview is with George Shilling.

If you aren't a subscriber I'm not entirely sure how
you can get this magazine, but here is their website
(which DOES NOT have the article on it)
http://www.resolutionmag.com/

I'm too busy with work stuff just now (anyone heard of
Bernice Summerfield?) to type out the interview and/or
scan bits, but I will try to as soon as I can. Unless
someone else does it first. Plus it seems a little
unfair to the magazine to scan bits from it and pass
them around for free when it is their current, brand
new issue.

Tantalising snippets though:

"I'm writing a piece of orchestral music. I'm making a
demo of the whole thing, keeping all MIDI parts so
that the MIDI parts can be transcribed into Sibelius
and a proper orchestral score can be worked out. It'll
be all orchestral apart from classical guitar and
grand piano, I'll be playing those two instruments."

"It's going to be based around the festival of
Hallowe'en rather than the Hollywood horror film. The
ancient festival goes back to BC. I'm talking to the
composer Karl Jenkins about collaborating on it,
hoping to record it somewhere special like Abbey Road
No.1, and we'll do a live concert. The advantage of
that is we'll have an orchestral score, which anyone
in the world will be able to pick up and play."

"In my local record shop they've had the original
Tubular Bells there since I'd lived there, and they
put the new one up, and after a month they took that
down and put the old one up... the production, and
even the tuning doesn't matter, it's a force and
energy, idiosyncrasies that give it it's character."

....I'm talking to the composer Karl Jenkins about collaborating on it...

For those uninitiated Karl is the man behind the tremendously successful tho
increasingly vapid Adiemus series - which usually features Miriam Stockley
on vocals.

Well that says it all really - the 2003 recording may well be crisp, clean
and technologically superior however its devoid of soul, character and the
resonance of life.
