FEELINGS FROM A RECORDING SESSION

By Alex Syiek

This past weekend I was recording demo tracks for my project Howard, Henry, and Pearl. A historical musical with a book by my good friend James Penca, the piece has been under drastic rewrites since its inception in October of 2013. Everyone involved put in quite a good amount of time making sure everything sounded peachy keen. Quite a good amount. Below you'll find a selection from a wonderful behind-the-scenes video of the making of the Company cast album.

My expression after hour 10 of the first day of our recording echoes Sondheim's at the video's 8:45 mark.

 
Oh, Elaine Stritch...
