The Session
By Patrick Cronin, Graeme Leak, Boris Conley & David Hewitt
10 June 2006 – 02 July 2006 Merlyn Theatre
Malthouse Theatre, Ennio Morricone Experience,
Theatre Musical Collaboration
Five musicians and a recording engineer are physically trapped in a sound recording studio. Like a live Masterclass documentary about the creation of a sound score to an unseen film, they work against the clock to create the ultimate master take. "The Session" reveals the often bizarre idiosyncrasies and sublime performance synergies of a session musician's world.
"THAT THE MUSICIANS PERFORM…WITH THE GRAVITY OF A MOZART SYMPHONY ONLY SERVES TO MAKE THE ENNIO MORRICONE EXPERIENCE ALL THE FUNNIER."
— The Guardian, UK
"THE ENNIOS CREATE BRILLIANT MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS… WITH MUSICAL STANDARDS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER."
— The Age
