A mix of small things done today. I must remember that image is key to creation. I'm a visual artist artist, so I tend to look at my hands when I play an instrument, I lust learn to play by feeling. I wrote some words today and played some music on a new MODX preset which swells and soars. It's a strange song overall, part monk chant. It reminds me of some of Kate Bush's Ariel tracks, the misty rusty songs in the second part. I've added lots, then removed, then added. All seeking the best. Almost all of the song is the raw sequence as played live.
I've realised that much of my music is starting to be the same, the same themes, feelings. The influence of Jarre is that some tracks are strange and artistic, some very 'commercial', but also I tell a journey of images. For all of his variety, most of Beethoven's music was a struggle for freedom, a cry of freedom above the rabble; all of the symphonies bar the 6th had this theme.
Violet Night
Close the book
Switch off the light
Sleep alone, again
The house is bleak
The stars' rays prick
My skin again
My night coffin friend
Says hello again
Like the moon at sea
Like a house on an ocean's dream
Like a child pirate
On a raft of bed
Like an adult in child's silk
After the party
Torn and sad
