Sonic Evolution 2012: Just Say Yes Premiere

So that happened… and it was a million different kinds of amazing. I’ve already written quite a bit about the production process of Just Say Yes for NewMusicBox, and all of those gory details can be found in a three-part Adventures in Orchestra series:

Part 1: Locking Down the End Game
Part 2: Unlikely Collaborators
Part 3: Final Thoughts

The trip overall was wonderful and exhausting and surreal. To be honest the idea of writing even more makes me want to take a nap, so how about some pictures? (Courtesy of Jerry and Lois Photography.)

Here is the whole Seattle Symphony gang in action!

Alan White played his glass drum set!! GLASS. DRUM. SET. Did I mention that it’s made of glass?

I just love this picture of Alan and conductor Ludovic Morlot (who by the way is a dream to work with).

The audience is roaring, and I am relieved that I made it to the stage and shook all the proper hands without falling on my face!

Backstage after the concert with Alan and electric bassist Bernt Bodal. This photo should really be captioned “Three blondes walk into a bar…”

Now I am slowly piecing my life back together (!) and looking forward to some very fun projects coming up in 2013. Happy Holidays to all!
