Fade by DrasticJo - Development 1

DrasticJo is the nom de plume of a certain Jody Schneider that we're working with over at Kilted Chaos - she's a singer songwriter with a killer second talent as a graphic artist (that's her artwork over there on the right)- you can check out her sounds and images at the DrasticJo website.

I've been playing with one of her tracks for the last month and have been looking to develop a piece that can accompany her recent acoustic version of Fade and I'm beginning to get somewhere:

[audio:fade-aug23.mp3| titles= Fade Development - August 23, 2010 Development|artists=music2work2 ]

I think I'll continue to work this up throughout the week and see where we get to - it would be nice to have it finished and up on Jo's site before I disappear off to Paris! Heh, heh, heh ;-)

Cicadas meet Dorothy

One of the nice things about coming out to see Charlotte is that she has a load of old music2work2 that I haven't listened to for ages; tracks that were being developed that never got finished, me experimenting with different voices etc, etc. I had reminded myself this evening that I wanted to record the noise of the cicadas from the back porch - they are so loud and such a part of the environment that I reckoned they would work nicely as an additional voice in a music2work2 piece.

So - I fired up Audioboo to record the cicadas and just as I started to record - the Dorothy theme came on the stereo - it is a theme I wrote for Wendi's grandmother who passed away a few years back; it has parts for piano, strings, bass and guitar - and while the execution isn't great - I love the idea.

So - I ended up recording the track and book-ending it with cicadas...

Think I'll be re-visiting this one when I get back to LA
