Softly Touching Ground

I left this one aside till I read today's challenge. It is just an idea, played on a borrowed Gibson Les Paul using a borrowed Epiphone little tube amp. I Was charmed by the tone and played some simple strummed chords and promised to work on it later. I tried to do something with this several times during the past few months but always failed and left it for a more inspiring day, again and again.

Today I opened the master, it was very short (1.5 minutes) and I found two takes of the original recording on that Gibson Les Paul (Dec 2020), some aborted Organ overdub (Jan 2021) and some cymbal washes (Mar 2021). 

I cleaned all that up a little, added a bass doubling the Les Paul root notes, took a picture of the Les Paul (still here, she might be claimed back at any moment now) and I'm done with this one.

For this challenge:
Step 1: Think of something music-related you’ve been putting off: finishing a track, starting a track, fixing a piece of hardware, updating a piece of software, trying out something one last time before discarding it. Whatever comes to mind. Preferably something that’s been bothering you.

Step 2: Make a piece of music that checks off the list whatever it was you recognized, in Step 1, you’d been putting off.

Fosfeni

This track came about over a period of time, adding little riffs of piano and finally, Simon creating an electronic 'ground'. It's a bit of a collage. I wondered if it was going to work at all. Now, I like it.

Frontier

Fear

This track is a relaxing ambient soundscape intended as another short 'with a coffee' meditation piece, for when you only have a few minutes to kick back.
It features my Kostal acoustic guitar, this time tuned to CGCGCD and the beautiful Max Richter Piano by SRM Sounds, and several sounds made in DIVA.

Blue Meditations III

The structure of Malakosha is based on a repetitive textile weave which, on each repetition, is proportionally augmented until it is 24 measures long. Melodic patterns and change within these patterns also follow the structure of the weaving pattern. The work takes its title from the pentatonic Indian raga on which the harmony and tonal range of the music is based. Each section expands by adding more notes to the repetitive melodic patterns. Over the course of the work the role of the "noisy patterns" develops: initially they are in the background and then gradually become part of a louder soundscape with the live instruments.

Performed by Royal Northern Sinfonia, conducted by James Weeks at  CoMA Festival of Contemporary Music for All on 6 March, 2020 at Sage Gateshead, Newcastle, UK.

Recorded by BBC Radio 3:
