Hello! This is Dennis O'Keefe, Orchestra Contractor for the movie. I managed to coerce Eric into letting me share something with you: you’ll recall at the BronyCon panel back in August and a few times since, he mentioned that I’d be recording the score for the film from the Ithaca College School of Music in the town of Ithaca, New York. Well, here’s a little bit of what he’s talking about.


What you’re about to hear is an excerpt from a rehearsal earlier today of the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra for their upcoming December concert (be on the lookout for that, by the way). Now, it’s unlikely that the ICSO itself will be performing the score to Journey of the Spark, but some of its members will, and I wanted to show you a little bit of what they can do.


What I have here is a brief excerpt from the Overture to the Opera “Tristan und Isolde” by Richard Wagner performed in the recording studio I intend to have the orchestra recorded in. If you’ve heard of Wagner, great. If not, then you don’t know what you’re missing. What you’re hearing is not representative of the final product, that’ll be much cleaner than this. However, I wanted to give you this so that you’re acquainted with the room the orchestra will be playing in. Also, if you hear any talking in the background, don’t worry about it. It’s pretty normal for rehearsals.


Alright, enough rambling. I’ll leave you to some good music now.


Alright, Eric. I’ll let you out of the closet, now.
