I've spent the last week very much focused on technology - it seems to happen like this; weeks of music focus followed by a week of tech. Of course the end result is that everything gets easier (well - that's the plan!)
I am seriously considering forwarding http://andrewmcluskey.com and running everything "Andrew" related off my posterous page - this is a test to see how everything hooks up with the different services. The big word of the last few months has been "EASY" - if something is easy to do then it is likely that I will do it. With so many online projects it takes time and energy to log in and write a considered post - whereas it's remarkably easy to send an email - we'll see how this pans out...One more stage to go but this is the correct structure:[audio:http://music2work2.com/music/clipdownloads/thea-correct.mp3| titles=Thea - Correct |artists=music2work2] Download Couldn't quite nail the performance this morning - will do that tomorrow
I hope to be sitting down with my old engineer and producer Mike Lesniak this evening and working on string tones - if that goes well I think this would benefit from a second part.
Time to send this off to Thea and see what she thinks...
Almost there with this theme for an aerial hoop routine- need to work on the final build and climax but everything's pretty much in the right place.[audio:http://music2work2.com/music/clipdownloads/142-thea.mp3| titles=142 Thea Development|artists=music2work2] Download I do like this tempo - it clips along but doesn't feel rushed
I tried playing it at 71 bpm but kept falling off so had to re-record a click at 142 to help me! I'm going to re-work the part at 2:45 so that it actually resolves on the major 5th rather than back on the 1 - should make it a little more dramatic and bigger .
I'm thinking about the beginning and end of the piece - I'm looking for something that indicates what's coming, sets the mood and gives the performer time to get on and off the apparatus. Should have this wrapped by the end of the week.
