October 12, 2009

Having fallen off the “Discipline Wagon” last week – this morning I climbed back on it; it feels good to get to 6:15 in the morning and already have an hour’s practice under your belt.

Writing for the different weddings and workshops had opened a door into a new way of creating themes. 2007 was a development of that approach combined with a growing familiarity with the workings of the Korg Triton. Heath, Wendi and Victoria are all two voice pieces where the piano track is recorded first [...]
