One of the creative issues I’ve been thinking about is how to get the most out of each musical project I work on, and how to create enduring work from live performance.
Right now, that often means making arrangements and videos. Once I know the music intimately, the arrangement(s) practically makes itself. It’s obvious to me which parts need to be included, and which can be eliminated- or implied.
With the nature of my work, I can get very consumed by what I’m currently working on. I like to obsess over the music- as much as I can within the time I have. This is awesome and fun and satisfying, but it also limits the quantity of music I can process at a time.
Live performance is so fleeting, but requires such a large investment of time and energy. It’s nice to be able to come out of all of that musical work with some tangible (or at least digital) products.
Please contact me to purchase this duet arrangement ($15).
