00:00Today is a rehearsal for the Paradox Orchestra and they're performing, at the moment they're
00:07performing Pink Floyd and then later in the morning they're performing Fleetwood Mac for
00:11two concerts that are coming up later in the year, the first on the 16th of May and they just
00:16sound fantastic and when they said you know they're putting things like Pink Floyd into
00:21orchestral music you've got to hear it to believe how beautifully it sounds really.
00:27You know I've worked with homeless communities for 19 years, I know the level of curiosity and
00:33inquisitiveness that is endemic in you know it's just within that community as well as a society
00:41so yeah people are going to come in free and just ask questions or enjoy it or find something
00:49they never thought they'd found before. In a word I mean I've sat in here this morning and I've
00:54wondered you know what's some of Pink Floyd going to sound like as orchestra? Would they have loved
01:04this orchestra behind them when they're playing and you listen to this and you think oh yeah of course
01:08yeah and it's but you know it's alive isn't it? In this building it's bouncing off the stones,
01:16it's bouncing off the bricks, it's filling my ears, it's got layers in it, ah it's just gorgeous.
