Wind Walkers (Space Music)

[Benedict]

This is "Wind Walkers" from my new album "Falling From The Floor"

"Floor" becasue most of it was made all scrunched up on the floor, first as my furniture sold and then as I waited for new furniture in my new home across the country.

This piece is about passing through a wind farm where these huge things rise above the landscape like Martian tripods from H.G.Wells' "War Of The Worlds". Kinda beautiful, kinda frightening. We have a wind farm close to my new town. There is even a fan blade on show outside the information center in town. Huuuuuge thing.

For the synth spotters, everything was done in Reason 14 using mostly stock devices for everything.

No AI - No Loops - No Samples.

This was very enjoyable listening and always good to hear keyboards played live. I could really visualize the rotating blades and the churning turbines. It would have been cool to hear the choral synth made more prominent giving the leads an added accompaniment and lift, raising the bar into the outro.

However it is what it is, and far more than I've done myself. I've also been working on a piece of space music but have only managed one minute's worth - spending too long I guess chopping and processing drum loops. The American author Stephen Donaldson once said that learning to write stories meant he had to study pacing very closely as many myopic hours of work would often fill only a sparse page or two. I need to rethink music in much the same way as arrangements of expression can easily whizz by all too quickly, and miss the mark. It would be nice to finish something this month as I'm starting to feel like a (different website) one hit wonder.
