There are two new clips on our MySpace page - Identification and Cassie. I spent today trying to cut the sessions down to clips short enough to post. I love the music so much, it is definitely hard to pick out just one part of it to be the clip. Identification and Cassie are both wonderful pieces of music. You can hear the whole sessions on the music2work2 web site. Just register, which is easy and free, and then enjoy!
I want to share with you the music of one of our new MySpace friends. Frank O'Connor is originally from Ireland but now located in San Francisco, California. His music is a reflection of his heritage - Celtic/Ambient.
Frank O'Connor also refers to his music as "Healing and Easy Listening," so shares the premise on which music2work2 is based - - Music is good for you. The tin whistle gives a hauntingly beautiful sound to his music.
There are three selections of his music available to hear on his MySpace page. My favorite of the three is The Rainbow Song, although I have to admit Amhrain Do Rae Son... is a close second. I would recommend checking out this lovely music for yourself.
Michael Nyman is not only one of our MySpace friends, but also an influence of music2work2. music2work2 sessions are often compared to his music. Michael Nyman's music is in the classical genre. Of the four selections available on his MySpace page, two are vocal pieces, two instrumental. I especially like the instrumental pieces, "Chasing Sheep" being my favorite. It has an almost regal sound about it. This piece reminds me of music2work2's Arrival in that they both evoke the image of the heralding of a great event.
Many of the musical artists and bands found on MySpace.com attribute Michael Nyman as being an influence on their work.
