Big City Hustle Two

Another stab. This one is in Five Four time, which always feels like a busy/city-ish tempo to me. Hearkening back to a fifties Manhattan. As per Kendall's text. Did I get it?


Piano, drum set, two kinds of bass, and guitar. And in need of a good mix!

Contemplative

And one more contemplative.


Again, a quick mix. On this one we've got Piano, Vibraphone, the Fender Rhodes piano, and holding it all together is a guitar.

Ah Ha Moment

Here's another try at the Ah Ha, or Epiphany Moment.



I think I need to mix it a bit better, but I wanted to get it up for your consideration.

Big City Hustle (New Talking About Themselves)

Again, the lack of speakers that handle low end will be a problem for listening.

Contemplative Ghosts

I tuned my guitar down to B giving it a dark warmth, and maybe just a touch of eeriness. There would be a lot more low end than what will come out of your computer speakers, which is important to the piece, so bear that in mind while you listen.

Childlike Discovery

When a child approaches a piano she usually plays random keys with no particular rhythm. I tried to capture that in this piece. I wanted the tune to have a bit of a random feel, with a loose tempo. Eventually bringing it together toward the end. I did two versions of this. One with mandolin, to fill it out and give it a hint of the folksiness we are after on the show, and one that is minimalistic. Just piano. With this piece I'm trying to capture the magic of a childlike discovery.

Just Piano


With Mandolin

Let's Get Started (Talking About Themselves)

This piece is meant to work as an "Ah ha" moment, or moment of determination. Also I think it could work with a moment of inspiration, or epiphany. I guess it really depends on the shot right?




This Piece uses; Guitar, Piano, and Mandolin. I also did a version with a shaker if you'd like to hear it. It felt a bit harsh so I didn't include it.

I couldn't find a picture that described the song well enough, I just went with this one when I realized how much time I was wasting.
