After months of composing, orchestrating and session preparing, we finally recorded the first half of my soundtrack to "The Book of Unwritten Tales 2" on September 9 at Smecky Studios, Prague.
The session went smooth and "The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra" was playing really well under the baton of Adam Klemens, while David Christiansen (our session producer) and I were carefully listening and producing from the booth. We were able to record around 17 minutes of music for the first two chapters of the game and we will revisit Prague in November to record the rest of the soundtrack.
Here's the Main Theme, recorded by Jan Holzner and mixed by Gareth Williams:
