Discombobulated

I am a cat on a hot tin roof - the only solution is to play. I am going to develop existing sessions - starting with Wendi's G Minor theme. To get into the groove I'm going to play around with a patch on the Triton at 67 beats per minute - the tempo for Wendi's theme . OK - done. They're heading off up to the server as I write - Have a listen to the Triton Piece:

I love doing this kind of freestyle - it makes playing fun. I am always on the look out for percussionists and loop makers who want to collaborate.

Wendi's piece is coming along very nicely. I did do another string pass but it was crap! ;-) I might put a clip up here just to see if I can!

The Lost Patrol

Listening to The Lost Patrol, a MySpace friend of Music2Work2, you hear traces of country/western, electronica, pop, and many other genres. It would be difficult for me to put the music of this group in a specific category. They are classified as Surf/Shoegaze/Lounge on their MySpace page.

Regardless of how you classify their music, there is no question that it is good. The vocals are sung in a clear, pretty, female voice. The music is melodic - often with an ethereal, haunting sound. The melodies have a beat that makes it hard to not tap a foot or move to the music.

There are six sample songs on The Lost Patrol's MySpace page. All but one of them, "Deep Stage," are vocals. Of the six, "Run Wild" and "Velveteen" are my favorites.

This quartet, from Piermont, NY, already has quite a few CDs to its credit and plans to release a new one in the fall of 2008. I recommend checking them out - - their music is unusual, quite enjoyable and fun.

Happy Birthday!

Just thought I would write a quick note to say that Music2Work2 is 2 years old today. It's hard in some ways to believe that we have been doing this for two years - - but in others it seems longer. Music2Work2 has certainly grown and changed over the past two years, and will continue to grow and change. It has been terrific being a part of this endeavor - the future looks even better.

Thank you, Andrew, for letting me be a part of your wonderful vision!
