Rocking Horse Music Club published the video for “Behind the Scenes: Coda” for upcoming concept album/Rock Opera titled “Circus of Wire Dolls.” Watch the presentation video through the YouTube player below:
A behind the scenes look at tracking the famous Challen piano at Abbey Road Studio 2 in December 2021. The song is “Coda: Slide Down the Cellar Door,” the final track of Rocking Horse Music Club‘s album “Circus of Wire Dolls.” The track actually features two pianos: Abbey Road’s Challen and Rocking Horse Studio’s Yamaha C7. You can hear the two pianos working together to create different timbres and rhythmic variation throughout the song.
The album tells the story of a man who creates a miniature circus out of wire, string, and cloth. In his imagination, the performers of his circus come to life with human thoughts and emotions. As the circus plays out, the performers each tell their own stories, revealing the aspirations, fears, and thoughts of their creator. On the surface, it’s a story about a miniature circus, but it’s really about a man looking back at his life, his work, the people who entered and existed his world, his successes, his failures, his regrets.
Features special guests Amy Birks, Tim Bowness, David Cross (King Crimson), Kenwood Dennard (Brand X), Chris Difford (Squeeze), John Hackett, Greg Hawkes (the Cars), Noel McCalla (the voice of Mike Rutherford’s Smallcreep’s Day), Kate St John (Dream Academy), and Rob Townsend (Steve Hackett band).
