IN DEVELOPMENT
Terminal Sound
In development with The Lowry
An Engineer walks into the home recording studio of a late, legendary musician.
All that remains are mountains of indecipherable notes, well-worn cassette tapes and a dusty four-track recorder.
Although it seems there might be a ghost in the machine.
Tasked with finishing this life’s work; a ‘swan song’ doused in morbidity, religiosity and sardonicism,
the Engineer mixes…
and re-records…
he tweaks…
then rewrites.
It does begin to beg the question
Whose final album is it, really?
