Name: Through the Clouds by Martin Hallmark
Duration: 5 min 35 s
Description: Original contemporary jazz with funk and neo soul influences

Rough mix of my composition Spider Dance recorded by Q3.

I wrote this piece in 2012 shortly after attending a jazz workshop which was run by jazz legend Chick Corea.  I had the opportunity of performing one of my pieces with him and he said he liked it. He encouraged his workshop students to take a free and intuitive approach to composition and not to feel constrained by what you might feel are norms of structure or harmonic progression.

This piece is the result, and I am pleased with how it turned out.  I like the ending, the idea of doing something really different, away from the usual big chord / fade out / be-bop stop formats.
