Editing Joby Talbot (section)

===Collaborations with Wayne McGregor===
Among the pieces composed as part of Talbot's Classic FM residency are ''A Yellow Disc Rising from the Sea'', ''Transit of Venus'' and ''Cloudpark'', all of which went on to form part of Talbot's score for the Royal Ballet production ''Chroma'' (2005), his first collaboration with current Royal Ballet Resident Choreographer [[Wayne McGregor]] C.B.E. McGregor had heard Talbot's 2004 orchestral work ''Hovercraft'' and approached him about creating a larger score around this. The remaining elements of the ''Chroma'' score are the tracks 'Aluminum', 'Blue Orchid' and 'Hardest Button to Button' from Talbot's 2005 instrumental covers album of songs by [[The White Stripes]], entitled ''[[Aluminium (album)|Aluminium]]'', a project conceived and executed in partnership with [[XL Recordings]] founder [[Richard Russell (XL Recordings)|Richard Russell]], and Talbot's long-time collaborator, the conductor and orchestrator [[Christopher Austin]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rohcollections.org.uk/work.aspx?work=6460&row=32&letter=C&|title=ROH Collections|access-date=10 March 2018}}</ref> ''Chroma'' won the [[South Bank Show|South Bank Show Award]] for Dance and an [[Olivier Award]] for Best New Dance Production, and continues to be staged by numerous companies internationally, including the [[Bolshoi Ballet]], [[San Francisco Ballet]], [[Royal Danish Ballet]], [[National Ballet of Canada]], [[Boston Ballet]], [[The Australian Ballet]] and [[Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater]].

Following ''Chroma'', McGregor and Talbot collaborated on two further works, ''Genus'' (2007) for the [[Paris Opera Ballet]], for which Talbot produced an electro-acoustic score with LA-based electronic musician [[Deru]]; and ''Entity'' (2008) for McGregor's company [[Random Dance Company|Random Dance]], a score divided between electro-acoustic string works by Talbot, and an electronic score by [[Jon Hopkins]]. Talbot's half was adapted from his string quartet ''Manual Override'', originally commissioned in 2007 by Singapore's [[T'ang Quartet]]; and from the 2005 cello work ''Motion Detector'', written for cellist [[Maya Beiser]].<ref name="MSC Works" />
