Wendi 107 - String Development

Back after a lazy labor day weekend (yes - American spelling but it is their holiday ya' know!) and already fighting the heat. 101 yesterday, promising to be 106 later today - so - up early and getting stuff done before it gets too hot. I really like this tempo - 107 bpm for the piece and may end up using it although the track sounds good at 67 / 134 bpm too - it's somewhere in that range. I'm still working out the form of the piece - there are two distinct halves and I have yet to really define the front half. The string melody is well established but this is the first time I'm working it up with the reason string patch so it may take a little while to dial it in.

This clip looks at the transition between the two halves - very basic at the moment but should sound pretty good when it's done.

Free members get to download the Writer's playlist which contains Frustration - the most popular music2work2 track.

The end of summer

This is Labor Day weekend, the holiday signifying the end of summer. It certainly doesn't feel like the end of summer - the heat and humidity are still unbearable. It has been a busy summer for music2work2 and an exciting one. We haven't gotten the changes made yet for the new look of the web site , but we are getting more and more registrations on our web site, getting more MySpace friends, getting loads of positive feedback, and individuals are playing our music on their MySpace page.

It's all good..........even if it is the end of summer!

Have a safe and happy holiday.
