You Haven't Got Imposter Syndrome

Riding A Flying Creature

"At The Foot Of Table Mountain" brings a combination of ideas together which took more than 20+ different recordings to finally work. The piece combines the piano, trombone, hand clapping samples and other percussive sounds. The hand clapping, trombone and tambourine represents the multiracial ethnic people and their improvisational music talents. 

The percussion instruments and samples were taken from the piece "Le Geste" which was made in 2022. I basically stripped back the template of the piece, kept the percussive elements and then added the harmonic and brass instruments. It is interesting to hear how the heavier sounds blend with the light colours from the piano. 

Enjoy the music and remember, "there is always more music coming!"
