Orchestra recordings at abbey road

The new radio spot series from the Zurich carpentry service “Schreiner48” were recorded with an orchestra at the Abbey Road Studio in London.

The idea came about because Markus Walser had commissioned us to re-record the legendary Mariachi Schreiner48 radio spot from 2013. The first idea was that we simply let a mariachi band record the existing Schreiner48 song in the Udo Lindenberg style from 2021, speak the lyrics and we’re done. But this idea soon vanished into thin air, because it is very difficult to find a good mariachi band in our latitudes.

Moritz has already recorded many of his compositions with orchestras, that’s why the idea to record the Mariachi Song with top orchestra musicians came up. Orchestra studios can only be booked by the day and because we wanted to use 100% of the studio time, we ended up with not one, but four subjects. The best musicians for orchestral recordings can be found in Los Angeles or in London, where most of the soundtracks for Hollywood blockbuster movies are also recorded.

Thus the choice fell on London. If you want to get more info about this project, as well as listen to the finished spots, you’ll find here what you are looking for.
