Here's another piece written for two beautiful people who just announced their engagement; Congratulations Jennifer & Eric - may you have a long and wonderful life together.

I've been laughing over the name of this track - Jeneric - I'm sure people have been watching the development of it and going - "Silly Andrew - doesn't know how to spell generic, and also - why would you call a unique piece of music Generic!?" Well - now that you know the piece was written for Jennifer and Eric, I'm guessing you can work the title out, also, there's nothing like a little misinformation to get people thinking.

This is the first track that I have developed to completion in 2009 and it's getting published in November - yep, it's been an "interesting" year. The track continues 2008's foray into working with beat tracks, Eric listens to a lot of dub music and I wanted to reflect some of that in the underlying groove of the track. As for the tempo - well - after a little research I found that Jennifer is the 84th most popular name for girls whereas Eric is the 86th most popular name for boys - so - I split the difference and the track is cut at 85 beats per minute!

Jeneric - Part 2 Development

So here is the first mix of the second theme from "Jeneric"[audio:jeneric-part2v1.mp3 | titles=Jeneric Part 2 - Development|artists=music2work2] This introduces a few different beats from Reason .

I like this piece a lot - not least because I am learning so much from creating it. I have been looking to develop beat tracks for a while and Reason is a great tool for this. I'm going to live with it for a bit - probably need to smooth some of the transitions but I'm digging it so far.

The piece has 4, possibly 5 different sections - this was the original theme that first came into my head over a month ago.

Jeneric Mix

Have spent the last couple of days editing the last few tracks on the Jeneric mix - the piece is breaking down into 4 or 5 distinct parts of between 4 and 6 minutes - I think it'll work pretty well.  I had hoped to get another part up today - maybe later on this afternoon.
