Prepare and oversee the recording sessions
The biggest challenge with a project this big is probably to make all the different parts of the production come together to create a score Lunia gold that sounds as good as possible. In addition to being the composer, I am also the music producer for this score, meaning I was responsible for the whole production process both artistically and practically with everything that involves: I compose the music and orchestrate it; I contact people who can help me provide musicians and rent studios, equipment and special instruments; I prepare and oversee the recording sessions; I do MIDI-programming, score editing, mixing and mastering. And then when everything is done, there is the CD release with everything that involves. Producing a score like this is a very long and hard process and it is important not to loose your focus on the way. There are a lot of people involved and a lot of things to keep track of. The creative process of composing and orchestrating is what I like the most of course. That is what I know and what I do. So, being the producer with everything that involves is definitely what I find most demanding.
