It takes a village—or a 50-piece orchestra—to translate an album that’s left an indelible mark on dance music to the orchestral format. How Zedd, conductor Maxim Eshkenazy, orchestrator Ben Wallace, music director Dave Rene, and the orchestra made it occur is the topic of the Readability Orchestral Live performance Documentary, edited and directed by Kevin Bressler.
The mini-documentary candidly traces the commemorative live performance’s arc from mere concept to actualization, underscoring the complexity inherent to deciphering dance music for the orchestral area. Although preparations for the occasion, hosted on the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on October 9, started three months prior, the organizational course of was one among feverish rehearsing and revision, all the way down to the final minute. In a succinct, almost 21-minute visible, Bressler and Workforce Zedd videographers seize the typically heart-racing but all the time participating moments main as much as the sold-out present, which duly paid homage to 10 years of Readability and Zedd’s classical piano roots. A candid look into the artistic method underlying a uncommon second through which dance went orchestral, the Readability Orchestral Live performance Documentary will be streamed beneath.
