Just Breathe is a result of a conversation I had with a friend.  We were talking about everything that was going on in our lives and how we felt that we were going 100 different directions at a 100 m.ph.  In the end we just agreed that all we had to do was just breathe.  I tried to convey this feeling in the piece.  From chaotic to calm.  It is written in G Major using G, Bm, C, and D in the chord progression.

Just Breathe is in 8 different sections.

Question 1.  Was the jump from 80 bpm to 140 bpm from part A to B, and then again in D to E and back to 140 at F too much of a jump?

Question 2.  In creating the chaos feeling with the bass in section C was it too far off beat with the rest of the instruments?

Innominate from Latin innominatus meaning "nameless"

Innominate from the Latin innominatus meaning “nameless”.  Innominate Sound (nameless sound) is an exploration into the music and not the musician.  By creating music that crosses different genres we will try and find out why it finds the secret places of the soul.
