about a month ago we presented clips from Pines to a live audience in the cozy backyard of the Random Tea Room in Philadelphia.  All the musicians working on the score where there to preform orchestral versions of the soundtrack pieces and Allen Crawford read new prose.

the Ruins of Friendship Orchestra

on October 23rd we set out to the foundation of what was once the town of Friendship to record parts of the music score for Pines.  Gretchen Lohse on violin, John Pettit on trumpet and melodica, Jesse Sparhawk on harp, Ben Warfield and Joe Patitucci recoring.  This should be the first of many soundtrack recording sessions.  We might not always record on site but I think this definitely helped to capture the atmosphere and it was a lot of fun
