Composer’s Challenge Pt. 1
This episode covers Alison’s challenge to Greg: to create a piece of music without using his fancy-pants composer craftiness. He’s not allowed to think about what he’s going to make, but has to abandon his training and use only his intuition to create music.
Here are the challenge results:
Greg’s Initial Improv: Four Sparrows Original
Greg’s Final Mixed Result: Four Sparrows (Final)
Pure JOY
Excitement. Love. Pure joy.
There’s nothing like spending time with your four-legged buddy.
Three Shadows
Fun little improv over a track for an upcoming collaboration we call… Vampyr.
(yes, it’s finally gonna happen later this year!)
