Last Wednesday 6th May was our second Distil Scratch Band day. Four composers were getting the chance to try out ideas writing for drums, piano, double bass and fiddle. The day wasn’t about writing a complete piece of music but more about learning how to notate the music so it could be performed by any band without the composer being present. Our Musical Director for the day Dave Milligan had written a tutorial that everyone had used. Everyone thought the day was really useful.
The composers were
- Tina Rees
- Steven Blake
- Grainne Brady
- Emma Tomlinson
The music was performed by Alyn Cosker, Patsy Reid, Dave Milligan and James Lindsay.
Here are couple of the pieces that were recorded.
