142 - Thea Development (Getting Close)

Almost there with this theme for an aerial hoop routine- need to work on the final build and climax but everything's pretty much in the right place.[audio:http://music2work2.com/music/clipdownloads/142-thea.mp3| titles=142 Thea Development|artists=music2work2] Download I do like this tempo - it clips along but doesn't feel rushed

I tried playing it at 71 bpm but kept falling off so had to re-record a click at 142 to help me! I'm going to re-work the part at 2:45 so that it actually resolves on the major 5th rather than back on the 1 - should make it a little more dramatic and bigger .

I'm thinking about the beginning and end of the piece - I'm looking for something that indicates what's coming, sets the mood and gives the performer time to get on and off the apparatus. Should have this wrapped by the end of the week.

149 - Thea Development

Following up from Thursday's theme development for an Aerial hoop routine - here it is at 149 - and yes - it's a little fast![audio:http://music2work2.com/music/clipdownloads/149-thea.mp3| titles=149 Thea Development|artists=music2work2] Download I think this is going to sit nicely around 142 or there abouts - but I like where it is going.

It cracks me up how a tempo change can dramatically alter the entire piece. The direction from the artist is for something that grows and ultimately feels orgasmic - that kind of build up and cathartic release followed by a gentle subsidence. This of course sounds nothing like that - but now that I have the theme dialed in I think we can now get it there.

At the moment there are two parts and I'm thinking a third might be appropriate - one in which the first two themes are fused to deliver the climax of the piece - Hmmm - think I'll play with that tonight.
