Whats Included

Technical Requirements

The music of Orbital consists of four elements.

  • Orchestra: 2/2/2/2 - 4/3/3/1 - 3 Perc – Timp – Strings
  • 4 Percussion Soloists
  • A pre-recorded audio track
  • Live electronics (synths and live delays)

Orbital was designed to be performed with all elements amplified, and with in-ear monitoring for all players. It feasible that a subset only of the players have the in-ear click but is preferable that all do.

There is a significant pre-rehearsal process for the soloists to prepare the technology required for performance. This includes:

  • Preparing the audio track and click (it is recommended that this is managed by the soloists from an onstage laptop).
  • Preparing the sample libraries triggered from the drum pads
  • Preparing the sub bass and synth played by Soloist 4
  • Preparing the live delays used on vibes and marimba during performance
  • Preparing the live electronics elements (the synth plug-in ‘Gaugear’ in Reaktor, parameters of which are manipulated in real-time during performance with external controllers)
