Grey Space
14 April 2009 in Music, ProductionOne of my Twitter friends and a great source of inspiration (on many levels) is the prolific and highly talented @ambienteer, aka James Fahy.
James’ goal to produce a new piece each day has me in awe and I often stop by his site when he tweets that another new tune is up. His Twitter timing is flawless, with delicate pieces so frequently providing a port in the storm of a busy day.
On 30 March, James posted Grey Space, a track which really caught my imagination. I could immediately hear all sorts of instruments – an “unplugged” treatment with acoustic guitars, a french horn or trombone and maybe a fretless bass to accompany the drifting piano.
James’ original allows the timing to float more than my arrangement (constrained somewhat by the drums) but I’ve tried to retain some of his freedom by letting the piano amble along behind the beat. I wanted to capture the apparent spontaneity of the original piano part – as if somebody was tinkering in a music shop.
OK, enough of the introductions. Hope you like it – though as ever this may not be the final mix!
