A day's recording in 30 seconds – Septura for Naxos Records

We've condensed the essence of a day's recording into 30 seconds.

Building up the Brass Chamber Music series for Naxos, we record at St Paul's, New Southgate, in North London. The first step is to set up – converting this fantastic building from a place of worship into a recording studio. We then play and receive vital feedback from our producers and engineers, Phil Rowlands and Jim Unwin, and occasionally we pop into the box ourselves to have a listen. Hopefully we end up with a result that we're all happy with – a piece convincingly re-imagined for brass septet – and then we just have to take the equipment down again, and we're done until tomorrow!

Trumpets (L to R): Alan Thomas, Simon Cox, Huw Morgan
