Recording my Battleship Potemkin score

Following the first performances and 2005 tour of my nine piece score to Battleship Potemkin (the year of the eightieth anniversary of the film), in 2007 we made a multi-channel recording of the score for Tartan Video. This came out in a special 5.1 surround mix in DTS and Dolby Digital in a box set of Eisenstein's silent films. The recordings were engineered, mixed and edited in London by the Classical Recording Co., and performed by the New Music Players, conducted by Patrick Bailey. In the course of four days recording, we also recorded my score to Eisenstein's Strike for the DVD box set.

The film maker Aitor Antepara Zuza made a short film about the recording process which was included as an extra on the box set. Here it is.
