Katherine Ellis talks about singing the title music to the new motion picture Gravity

Here is part of a conversation I had with the talented Katherine Ellis about her experience of recording the title track to the new film "Gravity". Written by Steven Price, the composer was looking for the right sound to communicate the emotion in this new Hollywood blockbuster.
Getting a 5 star rating in the Sunday Times the reviewer said about the film "There isn't much of a script, there is no air, no sound, no gravity only the slowest and slightest of movements. Most of the emotional cues are left to the music." I couldn't agree more, Katherine gives an emotional performance that gives a fabulous finale to the film. Hear her observations and listen to the whole track here on the video below. Congratulations Katherine - I look forward to the film being awarded an Oscar or two.
Filmed at the Landmark Hotel, London
