Till We Meet Again (Revisited)
Here’s another “revisited” music sketch (new audio mix and visuals). This time it’s Music Sketch #4 “Till We Meet Again”.
Photo taken while visiting Tokyo, Japan a couple years ago.
Love Me Do
Continuing on with my “Hearing and Writing” studies, here’s my interpretation of the main melody found in The Beatles’ classic “Love Me Do”.
Drift (Revisited)
New audio mix and visuals for the Music Sketch #2, “Drift”.
Isn’t it Good?
I know that countless musicians have said this, but I love The Beatles. Their music is part of the soundtrack of my life. This week I chose to notate the melody of their song “Norwegian Wood” as part of my ongoing “Hearing and Writing” studies.
Vancouver (Revisited)
I thought it might be cool to take what I’ve been learning about compression and EQ and practice with previous music sketches. I decided to start with the very first music sketch that I posted, “Vancouver”. It now feels like a completely new song to me.
In fairness, the original focus of the Music Sketches project was to create simple new song ideas, quickly. That being said it inspires me to know that I can take old ideas and make them feel new again.
To celebrate the new audio mix I did a video with new visuals as well.
Here’s the original:
Here’s the “revisited” version:
Massive Attack
I love Massive Attack. Specifically, I love their albums “100th Window” and “Mezzanine”. Whenever I want to really concentrate on something for an extended period of time (programming, bringing up databases, creating spreadsheets, etc.) I’ll put the headphones on and loop these albums back to back. It puts me into a sort of hyper-focused “let’s get this done” mode straight away.
