And the Universe says "Slow Down..."

...so we did. music2work2 is the product of two people - Andrew - who writes the music and Charlotte - who writes the text. This is what Charlotte's hand looks like:

As you can imagine - it makes typing, marketing, creating CD's, just about anything - pretty impossible. So - things are going to be going a little slower with music2work2 for the next week or so. Andrew is in one of his cycles where he's not producing music but focusing on the Kelli gig - lots happening over there at the moment - check out the new Preacher's Daughter video.

We should be back up and running soon - we are putting out 4 new albums and we have liner notes and images to produce before they can be distributed - but hang in there - we are.

The Moonlight Sonata

So I'm working on a variation of a theme that is derived from Ludwig Van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata - it's a long story and I'm still working on the liner notes - suffice to say - here is mix 2 - I think all the tracks are in - there's probably one more mix to go to clean the parts - see what you think....[display_podcast]

The Duel 2008

The title "The Duel" might lead one to think of a battle, with booming sounds, harsh melody and solemn mood.But, in this case, that is not what the title represents at all.

This is a piano driven session with two additional voices, strings and organ.The tempo varies through the piece, along with changes in the dominant voice.The mood varies from slightly serious to upbeat and hopeful.

The image that comes to my mind when listening to this session, is not one of a struggle with changes and differences, but merely the co-existence of different feelings, attitudes, etc.Life is a mixture of joy and sadness, good health and sickness, darkness and light, times of difficulty and times of ease, times of prosperity and times of need.But, entwined with it all, is hopefulness.

Below is a short clip from The Duel.Listening to this session, an entirely different image may be evoked in you.That is one of the marvelous things about music – it can be listened to in different ways, different settings, intently or in the background.The images, feelings, memories that music evokes is different in each person.

Check out the Music2Work2 website for the composer’s thoughts on The Duel and additional information as to how you can experience the complete session.
