Wendi - Piano Theme

Nath is coming along nicely - I've been listening to Mix 2 all weekend and am ready for the next one. There are some stunning parts to the theme and I'll probably post one or two later on this week.

There are a number of fairly well developed themes that have yet to be completed and I thought I might start on them after Nath is published. One of the earliest (and possibly my favorite) is Wendi's G Minor theme; I thought I'd take it out for a spin this morning - no tempo and no coda - just a little run through to familiarize myself. It is written for piano and strings and I've been backing off from it until I was really familiar with the "new' set up (only took me a year!) Spot the Clam at 2:55!

Nath - 57 BPM - Development

Hah! feeling kinda naughty 'cos I pretty much took last week off to go and celebrate 10 years of marriage - it was awesome (both the marriage and the time off!) Back in the saddle again today - man my chops were lousy! After an hour going up and down the board I thought I'd try out the track at the true tempo of 57 bpm. This is very much in the right space - couple of clams but I'm super happy with the pacing and the feel. Will be working this up all week and hopefully dropping strings on it by the weekend; targeting end of this month for release.

Nath - 114 BPM - Development

Ok - so now we're up at the target tempo - although I think I'm actually going to play it at 57 bpm - create much more space in between the beats

Having played with the strings earlier this week I can hear how the right hand melody is going to work and I'm pretty pleased with how it is turning out, this is just the piano track from Reason.
