Some of the pieces I mentioned in the previous two entries fall into the ‘pure music’ category – music that exists for the sake of it, music that has no meaning, no definition, is not intended to be evocative of a particular atmosphere or image, but simply be beautiful music. The one thing that I’m learning is that this approach can lead to some very beautiful music, but is not one I will be following much in the future, probably due to the fact that most of the music I listen to is on the atmospheric/evocative side. It’s been a very enjoyable experiment and I’ve been learning a lot about music. One of the pieces still needs some more live instruments, and I’m committed to finishing it all and putting it out at some point, as I’m proud of what I’m making. It’s just helping me refine my future working process in a way I wasn’t expecting it to at first…
