Deb came round yesterday and we went though the new Fall in Green album track by track, making little adjustments based on her feedback. This took a few hours and involved a few special, though very tiny, edits of vocals and general balancing.
Today I've created a Gunstorm bundle for Steam, and written a tune for Deb's poem about the Charles Tunnicliffe for our performance next Sunday in Christ Church, Macclesfield. The poem is somewhat non-linear with a quite and romantic mood about the past, images of nature, and death preserved as image. My melody began with a simple climb of notes, CDE, in F-Major, then a fall but a switch to D#-Major, so the music sounded somewhat off-key, in an electric piano. I was reminded of Japanese jazz-like tunes which were present on Yamaha and Casio keyboard demos, the old music to Buggy Boy, and some console games from the 1990s. The tune moved between on-key and tuneful and somewhat odd sounding; a gentle drama for a gentle poem.
