So - it only took a couple of months but we should be good now! Here's the main theme - it's an in-room recording through Audioboo - but you should get the gist of it - the string theme comes in at 1:12

Been loving this week - here is the intro to Coyote - all based around the E7 - giving the core to the strings and letting the piano dance around it:

Funky Ass Week Again
It is so tempting to write about the creative process - suffice to say:
- This piece came about after abandoning the approach I had used for 4 weeks
- It still took me several takes to get there
- In making this leap I also made several other connections at the same time
- I was kinda depressed throughout the process as I was worried I wouldn't "get there"
So I'm working through the piece and it's beginning to come together - the main theme and first variation are dialed in and I'm beginning to flesh out the second theme. As is my practice I'll fire up the metronome and start playing the themes at different Bpms to see what comes out and this little blues clip appeared on Sunday. The left hand is a super simple walk down but it's the right hand that caught my ear.

The track's in B minor & I realized that I don't think I've ever played the blues in this key before - which is kind of odd really. Although technically playing the same relative notes - different keys sound completely different to one another - the positioning of the different black and white keys and how they relate to each other change depending on what key you're in - think I might play in B minor a little longer!
The second theme variation comes in at the end - I'll post later on this week the development of the primary theme.
