Nath Core Theme - 101BPM - Development

Having barely survived last week, I have implemented the changes that Charlotte and I agreed upon when I was in North Carolina. I relaid my studio to make better use of the space and to encourage me to play more - which is a ridiculous thing to struggle with as a musician - and it seems to have worked. I found this theme when riffing off the Marseillaise on Charlotte's old Kimball and I think it has potential.

The tempo is horribly slow and will probably be closer to 114 than the current 101 but then - who knows where it will end up

This is off the Grand Piano sample through Reason and I'm gonna sit and listen for the string melody. Sure the right hand figure is a little repetitive (i.e. it doesn't change at all for 3 minutes!) but the piece does have that calming fade to the background effect that I like in music2work2.

More coming soon...

Piano Development in 71 BPM

I have been writing a number of documents recently and been listening to some early theme developments from back in 2009. I don't think I ever worked this theme up but I kinda wish I had. Clocking in at 6 and half minutes - I'm digging this a lot.

Nath Development - Charlotte's House

So we're at the annual music2work2 conference in Winston Salem - lots going on including much wine tasting and general cultural intake.  Taking some time out this morning to do a bit of research into the Nath piece - it's supposed to be a blues piece with a French twist so we thought a bit of listening to the Marseillaise would be appropriate - incredibly bloodthirsty song! Not quite sure where this will go but it's sounding pretty good on this rather old Kimball upright
