  • Big changes afoot to the Sunday Jam. It had outgrown Sunday morning. I talk about my decisions in the intro. Today I've spent several days and included ten minutes of video diary which includes my thoughts as I wrote the music. Feel free to skip to the part you want to watch and tell me what you think.
    The BBC program I referred to:

    The Van Helsing and Mina piece:

    chapters:
    0:00 introduction
    0:53 discussion about the changes
    2:14 the video diary
    11:15 the finished piece

    Many years from now, when people of that time open TH-cam or whatever the site is called by then, and see you create this piece of music and the stories behind each piece, they will still be moved and inspired. This is precisely the essence of how music, as an art form, can touch people's hearts-resonance.

      thank you very much. I enjoyed documenting it and I enjoyed spending more time with it. I'm not sure how much to include with the piece. I could put all of that in a separate video. Thanks for your response.

    Love it! Seeing the piece develop is a great idea. I had to giggle at the double-tracked “Power!” Perfectly C and C.

      Thank you so much for the suggestion. This isn't the most exciting passage from the book but now that I've done this, I want to do lots more from the same book. I wanted to be a bit more clever, putting the narration in the middle and each of the twins panned to the left and right. But since it switches around pretty rapidly, it probably would have sounded a bit bewildering, plus I was too lazy to do all that chopping up.

      I’m currently -thanks to you - enjoying Irma Prunesquallor’s romancing of the headmaster (so brilliantly portrayed by the Beeb). Our reading out loud of Titus Groan is one of my happiest memories. I foresee a new musical reading of the books by you, beating audiobooks hands down. 😇

    I greatly enjoyed this, the news that your vampire piece made it to the BBC is mighty. I am not surprised, it really was very well done. Small steps. You should not need a basson in order to use one, I am certain that there will be a free sample library with articulation, it is remarkable how very good these can sound. There are free tools to make the use of articulation simple. In any case if you can play in 17/8 you can do anything. Whilst I enjoyed seeing you work, I feel that most will just want to see the result. Which as usual was well worth waiting for.

      Thank you for your thoughts. Now that you've mentioned articulation, I realise that I could use my Artinoise re.corder which is a midi controller with expression, and the Logic Pro bassoon does respond to that. (there's no substitute for the real thing though is there?) I may go back and record that part, just for my own fun. (The twins may appear in future episodes from this book, so the tune might get a reprise anyway).

    First of all, congrats on the BBC recognition. That's great to hear. I listened to it and you followed Dua Lipa. That's pretty impressive. 🤩I always like these creative process videos but I know they're not particularly palatable to the masses. I think the chapters markers were a good idea so folks can skip around. Maybe put the song first and then the process after going forward. That's not a critique in any way, shape, or form but I've learned people on TH-cam have short attention spans. It might be best to put the "main event" first. Obviously the folks who want to learn are going to stay tuned one way or another.

      Thank you Kale. You are right. I know from my own viewing habits that ten minutes of waffle is a serious commitment. I'll do it if it's someone or something I'm interested in. Your idea about putting the music first followed by the vlog is a very good one and I'll probably do that.

      @@midi_in I've learned a thing or two about behavior from my channel. The net... people have very short attention spans. 😆 Personally, I like to engage and learn something from videos but that's not the pervasive phenomenon these days.

    I'm not sure... a cello seems far too mainstream for Prunesqualler... I'd have him down much more as a viola! The twins are such great characters though and I thought the BBC dramatisation really got them perfectly - in fact all the characters seemed to work really well.
    A great insight in to how you work and the reading was very well done. I have to ask though... 17/8? Really? That is playing music in hard mode for sure :)
    I keep meaning to look up the original soundtrack for Gormenghast. Richard-Rodney Bennet as I recall...
    I look forward to seeing where you go next. A flighty Fuchsia perhaps; or a waddling Swelter; there is so much promise in all the roles.

      Thanks Kevin, appreciate it. I love odd time signatures, so I only need half an excuse. You're right, Richard Rodney Bennett, I had a listen to that when I did a piece inspired by Gormenghast a week or two ago. It is wonderful stuff. The solo boy soprano doing the main title was a bold move and worked well. The casting in that TV series was spot on - a real all-star cast and all perfectly selected. You're right, there's a lot to go at there, one of my favourites (and alter ego) is Irma, played amazingly well by Fiona Shaw. I've been thinking about doing her next.

    You should have just written a piece called 'Lady Cora from Gormenghast' with adjunct 'the piece for Lady Clarice is identical in every respect with that of her sister... and can be appreciated by substituting Cora's name for her own'.
