I watched this documentary when I was 17 and this is still best documentary in my life. It started out funny, but the ending was thrilling. At that time, I came home from school at 11pm then I found this documentary almost in midnight. I forgot to sleep and kept watching it. To that extent, I was really immersed in your work. Thanks for sharing your clip and reminding me of my student days.
Thank you very much for your comment, it is nice to hear that the documentary had such a positive impact and I am glad it brought back pleasant memories.
That's my old friend Paul, just as I remember him! Lovely to see you (well, kind of!) again - and Alasdair too; I always liked working with him. You always were a talented engineer, Paul
@@RastaSaiyaman I am glad you liked it, exactly why I did it - humour factor and to look good on TV. Seriously though I wanted to make instruments that looked like they were made from scrap rather than simply repurposing reclaimed materials. For instance the copper timp would have been better if it still looked like an old water tank.
If you really want to know - the musicians got better paid than the instrument makers. However I suspect that the production company staff got paid the most generously

Hi Matt,
Thank you for your comment and kind words. I hope that you are well and wish you a happy Christmas
Love it !
I just LOVE the concrete mixer timpani drums.
Ha! It wasn't the most resonant but the drum heads being made from old sails didn't help!
@@orchperc But the fact that it still looked like a concrete mixer was hilarious.

Me: But we can't make music without money!
Them: Well yes, but actually no.
this orchestra sounds like trash ಠ‿↼
