The concept of orchestration with respect to recording is explored. While traditional orchestration and arranging methods largely apply for live performance, recording in the studio brings a new set of parameters to consider. This course explores what needs to be done in the studio to get the desired results in the control room (e.g., how to achieve the maximum result with the minimum resource). This course explores how recording in the studio can change the performance, and it examines such techniques as multi-track overdubbing and signal manipulation. Extensive analysis of recorded material and exercises in orchestration illustrate the possibilities. The students will work with video material and write to picture in order to explore how to create mood and ambience.
