Beethoven on Acid?

OK, so maybe I was on acid!

Clearly influenced by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata here - I love how the string patch sits underneath the keys and creates that ominous and brooding feel to the piece.

From a much longer 25 minute development track in march of this year - lots of good ideas in this one.

The Moonlight Sonata

So I'm working on a variation of a theme that is derived from Ludwig Van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata - it's a long story and I'm still working on the liner notes - suffice to say - here is mix 2 - I think all the tracks are in - there's probably one more mix to go to clean the parts - see what you think....[display_podcast]

Late

Late is a music2work2 session that consists solely of piano tones. It is a dramatic musical piece, full of changes in tempo and mood. It begins at a slow tempo with an almost solemn sound. Further into the piece, the rhythm changes to a faster tempo and the mood becomes livelier. A dramatic change in tempo about half way through leads into a section reminiscent of Moonlight Sonata. The ending has a happy, more upbeat tempo giving it a hopeful feel. For me this piece speaks of change - whether changes in life, changes in attitude, changes in feelings and moods. It has slow, solemn parts, sections where it is more mellow and more cheerful, one part where it is even dark and sad. But, Late  ends with a rhythmic, cheerful sound indicating to me that whatever the changes are about, there is hope and a possibility for peace and contentment.
