Lost & Found

November 13th, 2007 by Sarah

Just got home from another great Theatre Alibi play, Lost & Found, enjoyed by all of us :)

The whole thing was brilliant, the way the story was put together and the way the actors switched between characters to tell a story that spanned generations was very clever, as well as being amusing enough to hold the attention of a hall full of primary school aged children (all bar the group of cubs, who had obviously had too much to drink beforehand :roll: ) for over an hour.

We were particularly impressed by the cellist, Raphael Munton, who did the musical accompaniment, all very simply on the one cello, but lots of it was done by live layering and looping of little riffs (is there a proper term for that?) which was just fabulous.

Found another review on The Stage.

Settling down to watch the last episode of Classical Star now :)

    I thought she would win. I was rooting for the bassoon, but just knew the pianist would win. All three of them were fantastic though.

    Live layering and looping as in was sampling himself and looping it back and then playing over the top of it? I’ve seen Imogen Heap do that as part of her set-up, she sings a whole song acapella using that method. very very good. I suppose a classic riff is called a motif :)

    Yes, I wanted the bassoonist to win as well, but how to choose between them!

    And yes, exactly that sampling/looping/playing thing. Altogether very impressive.

    Ros – did you?! Cool!
