Massage CD Demo
So my friend Will’s mother has recommended / asked for a CD of music for massage, as, from what I understand, she owns and operates a massage parlor in Hawaii. We crunched the numbers this morning and found it fairly reasonable to produce 25 CDs that would be shipped there, not only for her own use in the shop but also to sell to her customers.
I like this idea. Getting my name out in the world at large is my goal right now, and anything which can be used to further that is certainly possible.
Today I started “writing” this album. I picture the need for something relaxing & soothing, so I probably won’t compose nearly as much as I’ll just start playing and letting what flows come out. It’s a very hand-wavy description of a fairly complicated process. I’m reminded of the single-panel cartoon I saw of two scientists at a blackboard examining an equation, in the middle of which is written, “Miracle occurs here”, where one is saying to the other, “We might want to be a bit more specific in step 2.”
I like movement and change in the music I write, so a project of this kind–where it needs to be, literally, meditative, is a challenge. At this point I’m getting around that by starting with little two-minute vignettes. Well, maybe not so much a vignette but I basically play around with a sound for two minutes before moving on to another one, hopefully seamlessly.
This first bit is all Omnisphere–I’ll be using it heavily on this project. It’s got mad skillz in this area. Mad tonez, too.
