Festive Waltz goes Latin
So lots of exciting stuff has been happening. Between my job going awesomely, the excitement of designing the set for Western’s Big Purple Couch, having my friend’s string quartet learn my rendition of O Canada, running a D&D campaign with some friends and finally recruiting some singers to help me make some demos for Dysfunction, I’ve had next to zero down-time.
Unfortunately, the aformentioned events offer nothing to share on my blog (yet!!), but give it a month and I’ll have real updates about stuff! Big stuff! Cool stuff! Stuff that will make not hate my blog so much! Haha, so as a peace offering, I’m giving you a sneak listen of this version of my Festival Waltz that I’ve been working on. I wanted to give it a latin/blues feel, so it’s got some sax, marimba, pizzicato, bass, lil bit of steel drum. It’s different. Darcy (@darcypatrick on twitter) is trying to convince me to arrange it for string quartet, but we’ll see.
