For this reason prerecorded orchestration will not be effective. Therefore music for shows need to be either electronic compositions or will require live musicians. If you anticipate working in the electronic approach, how would you anticipate using the additional recording budget and are there any specialized sound equipment needs you believe your composition will require? (For example: Because of the complexity of my sound I will need a system that can handle 12 speaker isolations.) If you plan to compose for live instrumentation, who would you engage to play that music and explain how those musicians could be afforded within the above budgetary needs. (For example: I plan to compose for a piano which I will play for each performance; or, I plan to compose for one cellist and I know several that can do the show for the budget listed above.)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><![if !supportLists]><b><span style='color:black'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>6)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span></b><![endif]><b><span style='color:black'>MUSIC:</span></b><span style='color:black'> Please share any important context for your music samples—was it a collaborative piece?
