Using our makeshift desk, we made the final alterations to the lighting scheme for the site. The mixing desk information was then transferred to a data card to be run in the loft area, together with the rest of the audio and control equipment.
The lighting for the piece is going to be synchronised with the audio track. This means programming transitions for the lights, which will slowly move between two points in the space. The basic layout of the piece is being done in Impressions Gallery, before final adjustments are made onsite.
Today we’ve been in Impressions Gallery working on the lighting and audio tracks. Here you can see us testing out the LED lighting battons that are going to go behind the portcullis.
The Nave is a fantastic space to experience. Especially when being rested and at night.
Had to make a trek up to the bell tower to record the bells. This meant we got to see a few views that most visitors to the Minster don’t get to see. Above is a view taken with my very poor camera phone. The blurring is probably from me shaking!
Tonight is an epic stint in York Minster to take a new impulse response of the building. This time the Nave is being rested, which means that their won’t be any chairs to affect the resonance. We are also going up the bell tower to record the main chimes to use within the third movement.
