Hello,
My name is Mathias, I live in Montreuil near Paris (France) and this is my first participation in the Adam competition.
The incredible photo of Gregory Crewdson inspired me with something a bit jazz, vintage and dark.
This frame, which reminds me of the sixties, made me choose instruments evoking this period: a Wurlitzer 206A electric piano, a Philips Philicorda organ, a Selmer Mark VI tenor sax of 1957 and an acoustic drum. Only the bass has been programmed and a drum machine makes a very short appearance towards the end to give more intensity to the music.

In the stereo pan, the instruments are arranged according to what they embody on the picture:
The rain (more visible on the left of the image) is represented by the drum (which is therefore mixed more to the left) with the brush play and the "sizzle ride" cymbal recalling the sound of raindrops.
To the right, the lights of the windows are symbolized by the electric piano. The "right-left" stereo delay effect that is added to the Wurlitzer 206A imitates the reflection of light, from the windows to the sidewalk and the street.
The tenor sax materializes the man in the center of the photo. The theme he plays is plaintive and desperate, as seems the character.

For information, I'm not professional and to record, I use a fairly rudimentary home-studio equipment: Logic Pro X, RME Fireface 400 sound card and AKG C414 microphone.

Thanks to Eddie and Thibault for their indispensable and impeccable participation in the project!
