The Moonlight Sonata

April 24, 2008

So I’m working on a variation of a theme that is derived from Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata – it’s a long story and I’m still working on the liner notes – suffice to say – here is mix 2 – I think all the tracks are in – there’s probably one more mix to [...]

The Duel

April 22, 2008

The title “The Duel” might lead one to think of a battle, with booming sounds, harsh melody and solemn mood. But, in this case, that is not what the title represents at all.

Seeing as posting a video of the session is [...]

Arrival

April 9, 2008

When the session “Arrival” begins, the tempo is very slow. The strings seem to say that something is about to happen – something of great importance, something sacred. There is a feeling of anticipation; the strings seem to me to almost beckon you to come and join in.
About a third of the way [...]

Let’s see if this works…

April 9, 2008

So – as basic as it can be – with no beats mixing and two tracks not yet in the mix – this is what it looks like -…I am so bummed – the video got rejected by youtube for being too long! – so – here’s the music anyway – needs editing – even [...]
