During the 2020-2021 season, ECO members were able to play together, remotely. These online rehearsals would not have been possible without our conductor's research and heroic efforts and the gracious support of the University of Washington's Department of Digital Arts and Experimental Media. Marcin has published a post about our rehearsing experience. Check it out, and check out this video:
me play with us - virtually!
We would like to invite you to participate in a project to play and record some Holiday music. The idea is that we would make recordings using the equipment that you already have and I would edit them into a video that would be streamed online sometime in December.
There are two ways to participate:
- attend our online rehearsals on Jamulus (if you are not participating already)
or
- record your part at home, using your phone, listening to the accompaniment track on the headphones
For those participating in the online rehearsal, we would record you during the rehearsal. Those who'd like to record by themselves would do that on their own.
We would really love to have as many of you join as possible! I understand that online rehearsals might be difficult to attend, but recording your part by yourself might be easier.
For the recording the only needed equipment would be your phone to record yourself, and another device (another phone/computer/tablet) with headphones to play the accompaniment back.
Here is a tentative list of pieces:
If you are already participating in online rehearsals, Don will contact you (or has already contacted you) to deliver sheet music. If you'd like to join, either for online rehearsal, or just to record yourself, please send email to Don (please do not simply reply to this email, otherwise we might lose track of who's in and who's not).
I would love for everyone interested to participate, if possible, and share some Holiday spirit in these challenging times.
Take care,
Marcin
