Piano, Strings, Rhodes, Beats & Tribbles
I am actively focusing on developing new beats with reason and using them as the base track to freestyle on – it’s great fun.
The original beat track is in 7 time with a tempo of 42 beats per minute (thank you @DarinRMcClure) – makes for an interesting groove. I ended up playing with several different beats and putting them through various oscillators and frequency filters – the Tribble sound started off as a chemical beat – go figure!
Piano, Strings, Organ & Beats for Jennifer & Eric
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!
61 beats per minute, piano driven, strings, organs and a chilled out vibe
music2work2 is constantly evolving and moving forward, I think this is why it works as background music for people who wish to create something. Whereas a traditional song might refine a theme and repeat it in a familiar verse / chorus structure, music2work2 comes out in a continuous flow and goes where the muse takes it.
Amp Driven is a good example of this but rather than have me write about it – why don’t you download it and see if it works for you. Create a “Work” playlist if you don’t have one already and throw a bunch of tracks in there. Add Amp Driven and see if you stay “in the moment” longer than normal.
