Sorry I’m Not There

This is a throwback to a song from 1992 written by Dan Pepin. I changed it up slightly but put this little snippet together just for the arpeggiated guitar in the middle. I don’t often do anything this heavy these days ever since the funk consumed my soul.

During Jamuary I mistakenly referred to this track as "To Be Free."

#jamuary2018 - Day 15 - Soul Of Destruction

Played around with the soundtrack of The Phantom Menace, one of the only things I really like about that movie. Using the Americanas Vinyl Synths pack by @AfroDJMac for this one which turned out far more haunting than I thought. Projecting some Star Wars Christmas lights on the #qrddiffuser for this one because I’m tired of just filming my monitor. It’s fitting since my friend Paul always thought this sounded like a Christmas song.  Strangelty it ended up sounding a little more like a Halloween song using these particular sounds.

#jamuary2018 - Day 17 - Duel Of The Fates

Inspired by @martin_dixon ‘s take on Artisane by Astor Piazzola I adapted it to the WASP from Mars pack from @samplesfrommars.

#jamuary2018 - Day 20 - Artisane

This is a song I’ve been singing to my daughter, Josephine, for nearly three years. The boys are fond of singing it as well. I decided to work out the instrumentation and then have them sing it. Working out the music took about 10% of the time. The remaining 90% was trying to get a clean take of these three jerks singing it one time.

Ancient Praise For Mother Earth

Day 4 of October 2020's "7 days of VGMA" challenge. Today's prompt: placid waters and deep tranquility.

Water

Recompose Winner - Nyokabi Kariuki

Nyokabi’s work is unforgettable. It is cold and wet. It represents water. Maybe the threat of the fishermen or the knowledge of the ocean creatures? It is not safe, it is a unique voice and sets the stage for a new interpretation of the music; a new medium it could live in, through Nyokabi, a new room she has opened and welcomes us all into. Dive in at the deep end, learn to swim again.

Recompose Runner-Up - Jordan Summers

Effortlessly Jordan weaves in new sonic elements into his recomposition, he imagines and builds worlds within a song that was originally just a vocal melody. The melodies make you want to listen to the track over and over again. It is enveloping and enchanting.

Recompose Runner-Up - Amy Langley

Amy’s cello goes straight to the heart, it throws you into the depths of her sensuality. It is so hard to essentially re-play a song and still make it your own. Where she adds notes, harmonises, adds piano and where she doesn't, where it swells and where it goes silent is desperately delicate - supported by her incredible playing and profound respect towards the original song.
