  Welcome to the documentary in the studio from the BBC World Service.

• 00:52

  The programme that gets inside the minds of some of the world's most creative people.

• 01:00

  That can just run under the whole movement or maybe there's a moment in the middle where we just take it out and let the piano sort of be its really pure natural sound like the sun's coming out.

  That's Anna Klein, one of the most performed living composers working alongside her husband,

• 01:17

  the US Grammy Award-winning audio engineer, sound designer and artist Jodie Elf.

• 01:23

  Together they've created the augmented orchestra.

• 01:25

  It's a groundbreaking technology that enables them to expand the sound of an acoustic orchestra,

• 02:17

  It's a piece for the St Louis Symphony Orchestra in Missouri in the US and it will be their first large scale implementation of the augmented technology.

• 02:26

  It's called Palette,

• 02:27

  a concerto for augmented orchestra and it's going to explore the relationship between music and art.

• 02:33

  A texture in a painting could inspire a texture in the orchestra so one inspires the other in a very symbiotic relationship which is really exciting and can also help when you have those moments of writer's block.
