Description
A couple of weeks ago, Motu and I were the new kids on the block. He contacted me about doing a collab - a first for both of us. There were a few bumpy spots along the way - haha. Like my inherent distaste of metronomes and the problems this causes when trying to line up percussion to the piano. Poor guy slaved for hours before I finally relented and sent him a new copy set strictly to 125 bpm. hehe.
Anyway, the piano melody is a little piece I've been kicking around for a few years. Just a fun little solo piano bit that I named after my dog because I'm not very creative that way. Well, Motu took it and ran off in a very cool, new direction - adding a bunch of world/ethnic percussion and voices and sounds.
Aside from my steady tempo disability, the hardest part was coming up with a name for the new piece. We both felt like it conveyed a feeling of both ending and beginning. Somewhere in between the dryness before the storm and the new life after. Letting go of the past and looking forward to the future.

so far i'm liking it. i have issues playing with a metronome a lot of the time as well. because often parts of a song feel right played a little faster and i tend to do a lot of dotted notes subconsciously so i get confused of where i'm supposed to be with the beat. the piece sounds beautiful. i like the use of the storm sounds and the piano sounds good. nice use of the synths to create atmosphere but not over power the song. i like that they aren't a constant through out it breaks up between the piano and synth.
