Dying Of The Light - Rehearsal Tapes 003 (13-Jan-2025) [feat. Jez Noble]

Hard at work scoring, programming, rehearsing tracks for The Shadowmaker Live Show World Premiere on February 8th in Denver. Clock is ticking!!
The track you hear is 'Dying of the Light', taken from The Shadowmaker album which is due for release on 7th February 2025.
This is an incredibly complex beast to put together - whilst my wife Chele is working 16 hour days editing documentary footage from over 30 hours of video, I am constantly going to & fro between Ableton Live and Dorico (Steinberg's scoring software) and creating manuscripts of every track. I'm also creating hundreds of automated program changes to accompany the songs in the set for vocal sounds, FX and keyboards ... not to mention extracting drums parts for each track and sending them to Jez back in the UK for him to practise. On top of that we are working on creating a ton of visual content, some from my own archives, some created using a combination of Midjourney, Runway and GPT.
And Jez and I have to be able to perform the songs!!
It's a steampunk juggernaut of moving parts, friends.
The World Premiere is in Denver on 8th February 2025 at MCA Denver's Holiday Theatre. I hope you can join Chele, Jez and myself for an evening of emotive music and heartfelt storytelling. It's going to be something special!
