Synopsis

Album Description
For kevin carlin, 'the princess of wales: musical & pictorial memoir' is the latest phase of a musical adventure that started as a six-year-old. The son of a symphony arranger and composer, carlin's childhood was characterized by an immersion in music. He began playing the cello at age six and could write musical scores by eight. Flute and piano lessons followed, and by the time he was ten, the young virtuoso was skilled on eight different instruments. Carlin left the music industry for several years to pursue his business interests. He returned to composing music in 1999, and to begin record his works in 2000 with the new zealand symphony orchestra and the christchurch symphony. 'the princess of wales: musical & pictorial memoir' is a collection of mr carlin's own original works that he composed between 1999 and 2004. Each composition was carefully selected to accompany a specific licensed photograph and to reflect the emotion of each photo. The sequence of photos and musical sound tracks mirror the prominent events in the life of the princess of wales from her coronation until her flight from the paparazzi on 31 august 1997. The mixing and mastering process began in hollywood, where carlin worked with legendary audio mixer, shawn murphy (who has mixed scores for over 200 films, including braveheart, star wars, titanic and saving private ryan). The final digital master was recently produced with the latest technology to a very high audio standard at the chapel kensington studios in london. This unique package is presented in a gold foil embossed digi-pack - leather bound photo album accompanied by carlin's original orchestral soundtrack.
