Sanity - July 2013 - Music to create flow

And so we hear the return of Norma - coming back in and spreading a little sanity for everyone. It's been interesting to watch this playlist develop - even as I'm playing it - I'm never really sure what direction it's going to head in.

Having heard the theme pop out during the second session - Insanity - it makes sense that it should come into its own for this piece. The fact that half way through it segues into this really held back blues, makes me smile.

Although the playlist started at 97 beats per minute this session was delivered at 67 bpm - there was a version at 83 but it sucked ;-p

As for the video - well yes - I was feeling all "glowsticky" again and I wanted to play with the images and how they bled into the blue of Kylie's image as well as playing with different hues and tracks. All pretty sophomoric visually - but I'm learning lots.

Wishes & Lies - July 2013 - Music to create flow

The third track from the July 2013 playlist, Wishes & Lies takes us back to the original C minor theme. This time played on the click at 97 bpm I've cut it with the ocean track and it still sounds pretty good.

We're experimenting with visuals and I'm loving how the color palette works with the blue grey of Kylie's imagery and the ocean surf - cool stuff and fairly mesmerizing - which I guess is the point of it all...

Insanity - July 2013 - Music to create flow

So just as I'm getting to grips with the whole C Minor theme - out pops Norma - shocker!!!

Recorded on the evening of the 6th of July, this version is not tracked to the click and as a result - the ocean tide seems to work very well with it. But halfway through the whole thing segues into Norma's theme - which clearly wants to be developed too.

I'm digging the whole idea of using the natural sounds in with the music - I suspect there's more of this to come...
