Practice

This is part of the Cities and Memory Spring 2026 project Original field recording: Inside the world-famous La Fenice theatre in Venice, we visit the opulent, breathtaking main auditorium, when a single violinist comes onto the stage, and begins to tune up and practice ahead of the New Year's Day (Capodanno) concert, which is broadcast on national TV in Italy traditionally every year. A rare chance to hear some intimate, small music on a very grand stage. Recorded on 29 December 2025 in Venice by Cities and Memory. Remix: The idea was to create a piece that worked with the violin, so I started by isolating the tonal layer in Spectral Layers. This gave me multiple layers from the original recording, so I could work out a key and tempo to build the track around. I then created a slow ambient track with a minimal beat that grounds the drifting violin.
