Jack was saying that for the show this piece needed "something with much more momentum/energy, less pondering, less epicness, more fun or exploratory".
And Zack wanted "a bit more sense of motion, especially in the lower register, a sense of uncertainty, more of a difference to a release". Of course I don't very much have "release and speed can come from the the melodic lines suddenly gaining freedom; bouncing and weaving with a ton of lightness, at the same rates and along with the pulse only with more poetry. I like the idea of those high notes feeling more fluid between each other. not clean discrete tones, but bending and sliding into each other" I wanted it to have a pay off, but since the rest is moving so fast "slow it down" was my thought.
As for a new England feel, I played around with tunes until I had one that made me picture a room with large windows showing fall colored trees, where one could hang out and read Chaucer with a glass of wine at the ready. As you turn the page you think that maybe you will take off your corduroy sport coat, because really the room is warm enough for just your wool sweater. Beside you'll put it back on in a few minutes when you head down to the pub to meet Dimitri, he said he'd be there around six, and you are absolutely dying to argue the ins and outs of 'monkey with chainsaw arms vs. crocodile with steel teeth. Who would win?' with him.
This goes from a seven to a four time. At 180 bpm it should/could be mashable with the first piece.
Oh yeah. No strings either. Unless you count the guitar stings as strings.
What do you think? Am I just crazy?
