I went to the Live Soundtrack Performance of Isolation at The Roundhouse, as part of the London Short Film Festival. I did the mix for the film so was very interesting to see the soundtrack being performed alongside my mix. I worked with Luke Seomore to produce a mix for them to play along to, and I was very impressed with the result. It was a very good performance from Luke and the band as well as being my first chance to see the film on the big screen. Originally performed at Branchage Festival in Jersey last year it was great to see the film being screened in London.
