It's a fairly open secret among a few people here that I'm workngon afifth and (if planning is right, final) album which I hope to havereleased some time soon.
The album will be my take on a number of well-known classical works,recorded by me over the preceding five months or so. I don't read musicand so it has been a slow and painful process at times, with meinvariably surrounded by musical charts of my own creation as well ascoloured scores, annotated manuscripts and post-it notes everywhere insight. However, I have pressed on despite all the difficulties as Ithink the end result is going to be extremely worthwhile and comes witha bit of a twist.
The one major difference between this and other attempts to recordthese pieces is that everything on the album will be played onthe Mellotron.
The album is to be called mellotronworks and I've takenthe bold step of giving the good readers of this mailing list apreview. You can download my version of Samuel Barber's 1936masterpiece Adagio for Strings from the following link: http://www.mikedick son.org.uk/ mellotronworks/ Barbers%20Adagio .mp3
