2007 - People 2

Continuing the development around individual personalities - it's ironic that this album starts with a track called Identification.

Identification is a very chilled out string heavy piece, Lally and Emma's Numbers are both solo piano developments and Irene and Marsha both have additional voicings.

2007 - People 1

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 and the string part recorded on top immediately afterward. Emma is a solo piano piece.

A New Year

Andrew will soon be back from his trip to Europe and he tells me he has lots of new ideas and plans for music2work2. I know there are plans for more new music, a change in the look of the web site, and who knows what else!

Prospects are encouraging from the business aspect for the sale of digital downloads. Digital Music News reports that according to figures published by Nielsen Soundscan, sales hit a new high of 30.1 million downloads the last week of the year – resulting in over 581.9 million for the year-end total.

So, things are looking good as we begin 2007 to continue our goal of producing and distributing beautiful music, music that helps - - background music that makes whatever task you are involved in more pleasant. We will be starting our second year in 2007- a little wiser and more skilled on my part, but no less enthusiastic.
