As a classical musician, I haven't been exposed to much funk until very recently, and I had fun getting to the know the genre this week. I break down some of the ways I digested my initial understanding of funk music, and write/perform an original piece influenced by this style.
Sound Bank 13 | Going Somewhere with Music that Doesn't Go Anywhere (Writing Static Music) This week I did some exploring into writing music with a static bassline - in light of using a drone, pedal point, or ostinato. Although these individual terms are different, there are overlaps between them.
In this week's Sound Bank 14, I did some exploring into the world of Bossa Nova and I would like to share with you all some footage and notes from this mini immersion. I include Pocket Piece No.
For Sound Bank 17, I made it an "As Digested by a Classical Musician" video where I explore the Blues genre, but more specifically the 12-bar progression derived from it, applied to many different types of music. The playlist I listened to while making this video is available on Spotify (link in my Twitter and Instagram).
For Sound Bank 18, here is my take on Nocturnes, in the form of a new Pocket Piece. The talking part of the video starts at 3:27. Enjoy!
