In the KS we have a saying that, during Term Time, you're never not working but you may be having a "non-singing day." It's a way of ensuring that even when we're at home we are on duty, and psychologically it's helpful to make that distinction between Term and Holiday.So, today, I'm tying up some loose ends for 2015 by visiting the accountants, preparing music for the forthcoming touring periods and considering some arranging. I enjoy arranging songs, although I'm not in the same league as the greats from the past such as Bob Chilcott, Gordon Langford and Goff Richards, who did so much to create the KS sound. Still, it's useful to have people in the current group who can transcribe and arrange music, and it takes brushing up from time to time in order to ensure skills are still usable! Today I'm looking into some close harmony songs for 2018 - we have ballads a-plenty, but finding up-beat songs from the past decade or so that are relevant, interesting and would work for us. In the age of almost interminable RnB this is proving to be quite the task....We're expecting the first edits of our new Christmas album to appear any moment, and this is a fascinating part of the process of making a new recording. Before you hear these edits you really have no idea what the disc will sound like, and if it's not quite what you expect then the post-production process becomes even more important! It's huge fun, and I'm looking forward to it.
