African Stuffs
Hi everyone. It has been a while. I'm working on a theater project, and I don't have much time to do new free stuffs. But I did do one today.
For some reason, I got 4 unrelated emails in 4 consecutive days - all about my African compositions. That is very very odd. That brings the one-year total to 6. I took it as a sign, and wrote another piece.
This one is more fun than the others - relying on a major pentatonic melody rather than the minors found in all the other pieces. You probably wouldn't hear a piece like this if you were touring Africa. It is short, formulaic, and downright melodicly happy. There are a few typical polyrhythms thrown in.
Technically, I pulled the reverb down considerably on this piece. Also, the marimbas were rattling my head, so I pulled down the half-octave around 360hz by 10dB (a lot). Believe me - it is better that it isn't there.
P.S. I know... crazy-bell-guy (left speaker) isn't a very good player. I fired him.
