	Yes - A film by Sally Potter
		But the technical hold-ups combined with my travel schedule meant that the mix was now to take place at Skywalker Ranch, somewhere I had long wanted to visit.
		We rolled up at the ranch, set in a lush rolling landscape, were warmly greeted by the mixer Kent Sparling and then ushered through an airy lobby into the mixing studio.
		But somehow our end of the scale felt satisfying, though its hard not to let out a little sigh of envy at the sheer luxury of space and privacy at the ranch, not to mention the utterly delicious, magical acoustic on the stage where the Kronos Quartet, amongst others, often record and mix their albums.

		Kern recorded on the Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano at Skywalker Ranch, her instrument of choice for concert hall and studio.
		But as far as Olga's son is concerned, what matters most is the last stop that his mother always makes at the gift shop as she bids farewell to the Skywalker Ranch.
