Kila: Glanfaidh Mé (7049k) (extract)(5'01) - from the album "Luna Park"

Location recordings with Dream Factory orchestra added later

La Marseillaise (2259k) (1’38) from the album "XV on Song"

Haydn: Kyrie (1437k) (1'01) - from the Kleine Orgelmesse
Mullingar Cathedral Choir: from the album A Feast of Church Music

Recorded in Mullingar Cathedral with organ accompaniment.
The strings, which add so much to the track, were created later at The Dream Factory.

Studio recordings with live high-quality MIDI piano accompaniment


which can be converted later to anything
e.g. organ, harp, harpsichord, band or even Orchestra

Brahms: “Unbewegte Laue Luft” (5578k) (4'05)
Edel O’Brien: Mezzo Soprano

If you can't afford a hall, or a grand piano, you might find a studio recording like this
with live MIDI piano accompaniment will "fit the bill".
(See Singers page for details).

Bach: “Bereite Dich Zion” (8601k) (6'05)
Edel O’Brien: Mezzo Soprano

From the same session as the previous track, but treated differently. We tidied up the piano performance, filled in some harmony and converted it to an organ sound. Sounds as if it were recorded in a church, not in a domestic living room.
(See Singers page for details).

Puccini: “Quando me’n Vo” from La Bohème (3566k) (2’32)
Sandra Oman: Soprano

The MIDI piano accompaniment recorded with the voice was converted
to a Dream Factory Orchestral Simulation

Subsequent studio treatment gives the recording a small hall feel.

Arrangements

“Monkey and Me” (3973k) (2'52)
from Deirdre O’Brien’s demo CD "From the Heart"

Amateur singer Deirdre O’Brien brought us just the tune & words of her song, and we did the Musical & Instrumental Arrangements (including live bass from one of our in-house session musicians). This song was an early recording of ours and is included more for the arrangement than the drum sounds!
