So - I'm tracking again tonight - sometimes it just comes - shot more video - won't mix it tonight - but I think its pretty cool. Beat track, piano, strings and organ - I think I want to add another couple of beats to it. Seeing as posting a video of the session is going to be a little tougher than I thought it would be - (no surprise there!) - here's a photo and the sound track of tonight's work - as ever - much editing to be done.

When the session "Arrival" begins, the tempo is very slow. The strings seem to say that something is about to happen - something of great importance, something sacred. There is a feeling of anticipation; the strings seem to me to almost beckon you to come and join in. About a third of the way into the session, the piano is introduced and eventually replaces the strings. The tempo of the piano becomes faster and you are aware that this important event is also a joyful one.
This beautiful piece of music was composed by Andrew for his sister's wedding. So, the event was indeed an important and happy occasion. What a wonderful gift to be given for such a memorable time in ones life - a gift composed out of a brother's love, especially for two important people.
Here is just a sample of Arrival. You can read Andrew's own commentary on this session and purchase the entire 17 minute 50 second session through Music2Work2.
So - as basic as it can be - with no beats mixing and two tracks not yet in the mix - this is what it looks like -...I am so bummed - the video got rejected by youtube for being too long! - so - here's the music anyway - needs editing - even more so without any visual support! Enjoy ;-ppppppppppppp [display_podcast]
