Were back and we have some music

This was the first time we have got together after the summer break. There were two sessions. The first was with Jess, Amanda and Olivia. We worked on some of the vocal sections and did a good job with the first four lines. We worked a bit on the next two, but ran out of time and inspiration. There were lost of ideas exchanged, and there is lots more to so. I liked the choices the singers made, and the way they started to listen to each other. This video has a rendition of the first four lines. Sorry it was recorded on a phone, so the quality is not brilliant. Needs separate tracks and mixing.
I am still not sure about that last note on "entire of itself".



The second session was with instruments. We had Jeremy, Jason, Tim, Johnny and Tom.
using the same time structure as the singers we tried to build up each of 5 motifs and then blend them together. The unusual combinations came in and out of phase, moving from elegant harmony to jarring clashes. Tom was the one who really to the inspiration of the Captain to heart!
Recording this on a phone was probably a complete waste of time, but here you go! You can't hear the balance between the guitars, abd the sax and percussion are too loud. It was quite good live!!!!!
