Had a great night -working at 113 beats per minute - using five different grooves from the Triton and then freestyling on top - I like the way the beginning came out - need to mix the rest...actually...need to sleep...[display_podcast] ---------------- Now playing: Music2Work2 - 113 - roughmix via FoxyTunes
Listen to a short clip of Music2Work2’s session Sexercise (aka Ex Er Cise).
This session was composed for an all-women’s workshop on releasing sexual energy. It is rhythmic, slow, with an ethereal sound to it. The piano and strings seem to float together.
This session evokes for me a sense of exploring, growing and stretching, which could be in any aspect of life. The picture that comes to my mind is of an awakening, an unfolding, similar to the way the petals of a flower unfold. Truly exploring any dimension of ones self would need to be done slowly, one layer at a time, until full awareness or awakening is achieved.
This is a lovely piece of music, lasting about 30 minutes. Words I would use to describe it are calming, soothing, sensual and beautiful. The full session can be purchased through the Music2Work2 website.
I heard about muxtape.com yesterday; digital replication of the old mix tape concept - sounds totally weird and anachronistic - but it actually works. The interface is really clean and simple - basic - and you get it. There are hundreds / thousand of muxtapes up there - I reckoned I'd give Justin, the site designer's muxtape a listen. I ended up buying a track at Amazon from a Band I'd never heard of. I think that's amazing - it was so easy - it gives me a huge amount of hope and feeds my enthusiasm for the future. I will be developing my own muxtape soon - Charlotte is looking to create one from the music she has heard on MySpace in the last two years - should be fun! In the meantime - here's my homework from tonight. I promised myself that I would play every day this week - and so far I'm on track - I have been working on Wendi's theme all week and this is as far as it has come:
