Day 7: Sliced Marais ready to go

Hi everyone,

Today's work was getting the Marais happening on my website. I made a Demo video which I think will be very helpful in making it approachable.

Please head to my site to have a look!

Let me know how you go setting up the installation. It's worth having it going for an hour or so (even if most of that is on mute) because it gets JUICY AF after a while.

I had a great lesson with Paul (Stanhope) today where he gave me some awesome advice on how to progress with my large ensemble piece. I did a little bit of work on it but will upload once I've done more and make a day of it!

Much love to you all.

What a beautiful number today's date is! Unfortunately this composition has no intentional number significance with it at all. I'm sure there's some numerology in there if you look deep enough. This was composed by improvising a melody and working through the harmony slowly at the keyboard. I intend for it to be part of a larger form, perhaps a C of an AABC jazz form.




Mourning Song for Cor Anglais

Final piece in my Elegiac Suite. Time to trim and tuck, and then move on to more things tomorrow!

Day 6: Pouring some continuo over the deconstructed Marais

Hey mates, keen to hear thoughts on the way I've used the continuo line here. I'm starting to feel it was better when the thing was sparse and full of silence. I guess when it's it's own youtube video it could just be turned down or off.




Contraflunctus 11/6

Difficult morning, but I love the one measure and the ideas swimming around as a result.
