I have a friend who is looking for some music to accompany an aerial hoop performance.[audio:http://music2work2.com/music/clipdownloads/139-thea.mp3| titles=139 Thea Development|artists=music2work2] Download This theme popped into my head yesterday afternoon and I thought I'd play with it this morning.
It isn't anywhere near the right tempo but I am steadily working through the primes and I thought I'd try and dial it in at 139. Tomorrow we jump up to 149 and I think it might start to "Fly!"
After hitting the scales and arpeggios this morning - my left hand just wanted to groove - I like where this one was going.[audio:http://music2work2.com/music/clipdownloads/137-September.mp3| titles=137 bpm Development|artists=music2work2] Download I might come back and develop this later on in the week - it should get interesting as the tempo quickens.
I actually sat and played the blues for 30 minutes this morning - it is by far my favorite way of "practicing" - although I have to be careful to not let the left hand get lazy. It's funny though - after practicing at higher tempos, I sit back down at this "keyboard" and my fingers are too fast for my typing - I've corrected this sentence three times now!
I think this is the one - 131 beats per minute and everything seems about right - plenty of room for the piece to breathe and space for the string part![audio:http://music2work2.com/music/clipdownloads/smm-131.mp3| titles=Scary Movie Music - 131|artists=music2work2] Download The theme was originally developed back in 2002 around the same time as tracks like Beautiful. Over the years it has become far more structured and its form is now clearly defined. Of course I listen to it now and the piano sounds more melancholic than scary - but the strings should address that next week.
