"Coming Home" is the next piece in the collection of work looking at the South African Karoo. The piece is unique on its own because of its structure and the themes built into the harmonic progression. 

Building the music took me back to a piece of composer Nikita Koshkin "La Grande Parade Du Cirque" which is part of a suite of 6 pieces. This piece was written in A Major and uses tremolo in the last 11 bars. There is a subtle movement between A and E in the base notes which I played around with to create a pattern of my own. "Coming Home" uses B major instead and takes the listener to a different "plane". 

I've been wanting to play the guitar again but due to old injuries it is taking longer for me to sit back down with the instrument. This means I am currently relying on my midi player to make the music and as a result is always a major challenge to record the guitar sound files. It is taking multiple recordings to get the patterns and progression just right. The process as we know doesn't begin and end with the recording of the guitar. After this the mixing and mastering becomes rather tricky especially when you include a tuba with two guitars. 

The themes in this piece has a strong emotional component to it. The ones that stand out for me is the promise of coming back and not breaking such a heavy weighted promise. The other is this sense of resolve and an inherent knowing where you belong. Out in the wild where nothing can be tamed, not even the human heart. Other influences are the thematic approaches of Ludovico Einaudi  especially the forward motion of the rhythm and pushes the music to the end. 

Enjoy the music and as I always say, "there is always more coming..."
