I've just finished acting in a production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, for which I also was musical director. Done large scale, in an outdoor setting, the adaptation was given a Steampunk theme. Among the programs I used to create the soundtrack was Band in a Box/Realband.

Here is a version of one of the songs from the play. This version was played as part of an intermission 'revisit' of all the songs from the first act.

So lovely! This is completely perfect for an outdoor setting! Our Shakespeare festival is actually happening right now and they're putting on an outdoor production of two different plays. They slowly go through all of the plays one by one before cycling through them again. They always do such a good job! With songs like this being made for their shows, I can see why they're so popular!


Cheers,
Ember

Absolutely enjoyable.

Really loved the way the guitar break in the middle gave a subtle new dimension.

Everything in this song works so well.

Thanks for sharing, Phil - The vocal delivery on this is probably what stands out most for me. The vocals really grab you and almost force you to pay attention. The mix is also superbly done, it sounds really professional! Great job on this smile

Phil,

This is a very cool song and very well sung too!
One small nit: the vocals could use slightly more Reverb, and should probably be also slightly less loud in the mix, but that's just my opinion ;-)

Nice! smile

I agree with Rob - I'd have like to have had a less dry vocal.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
