It is not known if there was any incidental music for Survival Code but as this is a new production, a score will be composed by Tony Diana
RECORDING
 |
| Robert Powell in Sam's Arcade - Survival Code |
If you are able to record any parts for this new play that was originally written by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis, please get in touch. Hopefully, you already have a high quality PC microphone and a quiet room to record in but if you don't have any recording equipment there are three very basic micro cassette tape dictaphones that can be posted out to you which will just about do the job. If anything, it will probably add that authentic 1970s taped off the TV feel. Don't worry about tape hiss, as this can be removed in post production. Remember, that a SILENT room is required for this (NO TICKING CLOCKS ETC.) or it will be unusable. If you'd like to help out just email the producer here
Thank you!
