I. Saxophone A and playback device 1
Pre-record solo sax A music and save the file for playback.
Observe all rests which equal measured time on the recording.
Try to have the proper tempi for each section.
Place playback device 1 on the left side of the solo saxophone (B) soloist during performance
and set playback volume at high/medium high. *
II. Saxophone B and recording/playback device 2
During performance playback device 2 should be on the right side of the saxophone (B) soloist.
III. Steps in Performance
1. Press play on playback device 1 to play your pre-recorded track.
Immediately start recording on device 2. This should take about five seconds.
2. Begin to play live the Saxophone B solo music immediately.
Make sure all tempi are as accurate as possible.
3. See parts for further instructions.
--------------------
Total duration ca. 10’ minutes
* Alternatively, player may use an audio technician to play the pre-recorded track through the
house system, record and play the live-recorded part through the house system as well. Player
may also possibly choose to record the solo sax part A in segments and have the technician play
the segments at the appropriate time, instead of recording the rests.
