Happy Birthday my Love,

I hope 40 is everything you wanted it to be and more,
I hope your 40's are the start of the best decades of your life and mine along with you,
I hope 40 sees you happy in areas that you have yet to be and I cannot wait to see that,

So - here it is - Wendi's theme - or I should say Themes - as she has way more of them than anyone else. The two established themes are developed here - with obvious nods to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in the Gminor theme. I love the new emerging F major to G major / 7 groove.

I like this piece a lot - there is so much hope in it, alongside the sadness - just like my beautiful wife.



Below is the piece that I originally worked on to develop the Wendi's birthday piece. It sounds nothing like the eventual theme.....

First off - please note - this is a development session - i.e. potentially crappy!!! ;-)

I'm developing an idea of demonstrating what the process is like to create a piece. I'm getting very close to understanding how I want to design the structure of the new music2work2 - it's going to be very cool!

Each session will have it's own page - and on that page will be the development notes and downloadable versions of the development tracks - so - if you're interested - you can see how a piece develops.

For this session - this session is about my Wendi's up and coming 40th birthday! She was born in 1967 - so of course - the tempo is a very calming 67 beats per minute - it's very apt for Wendi - she is a very "calming" type of person - definitely someone to have around when the shit starts to fly!!

I'm toying with the idea of doing this in 9 time - I think it needs more instruments - and I don't know where to go with it. I can hear the basic structure as delivered by the keys - but of course - at times they are just sitting there marking space - so - before anything happens with this session - the two voices need to be edited and pruned - and possibly a third track identified to fill holes.

Some of it I do love - I love the intricacies of playing in 9 - there are so many places to go - particularly at a low BPM - It's also the longest piece that I have produced in a while.
