Echoes in Glass: Recordings

In 2021, I directed and produced a cast album of the songs and poems from Echoes in Glass. The recording cast plays a wide range of instuments, so I took the opportunity to weave new parts into the songs, expanding on the arrangements from the live production.

With everyone in lockdown and scattered across the country, we recorded each part separately. There are parts of the show where the audience is invited to join in, so I pulled together a virtual audience of family, friends, and co-workers to sing along to the songs and send in short recordings. Hearing their voices come together has been one of the best parts of the process, and I am deeply grateful to all of them for being a part of this.
