In fact, it was once so busy as a recording venue that a dedicated ‘control room’ outbuilding was constructed, with pipes into the main hall for microphone cables.<\/p>\n

In recent years it has fallen out of favour with the classical industry. But Dan, through a friendship with a Sony recording engineer, had always been aware of this forgotten gem, languishing in the depths of South London.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2018 we went to All Saints to make a test recording of the huge pipe organ there. The sheer size of the hall bowls you over as you enter – it doesn’t look so big from the outside. In fact, if this church were in any other city than London, it would be a cathedral. The acoustic is also immediately apparent. Sparkly, open and\u00a0clear, yet with a long rich tail if excited.<\/p>\n

We completed a recording\u00a0of the pipe organ in a day, and made plans to return in the spring of 2019 with a full choir.<\/p>\n

The New London Chamber Choir<\/a> joined us at All Saints\u00a0in May 2019, recording basses, tenors, altos and sopranos – 32 voices in all – in different sessions over 4 days.<\/p>\n

The results were stunning, and will be available April 2020\u00a0as ALL SAINTS CHOIR, a full virtual instrument for Kontakt.<\/p>\n
