It's very easy to get so sucked into development work that you forget what it's all for. Well after some pretty heavy sessions - especially December last year - I decided to give myself a break and play through some of my old compositions. To my horror I discovered I could no longer play them, when previously I'd just rattle them off one after another.
So, towards the end of January I decided I would practice at least one of them every day, and today I actually got through three of them with hardly any mistakes
Feeling pleased with myself I then just started playing whatever came to mind, and suddenly was in the 'zone'. What a relief! Here's what I came up with: Genesis

Beautiful!
Does it have a story behind it?

Re: Back to my roots
Thanks Brian,
Not really a story, except that of me going back to my roots and actually playing pieces as complete entities, which could be thought of as my musical recording genesis.

Re: Back to my roots
Thanks, Will, this one's just beautiful.
Do you do everything with Yoshimi these days ?
Are the sounds your own ?
Best,

Re: Back to my roots
Yes, pretty much entirely Yoshimi these days. Just occasionally I'll use others mostly for percussion.
Also, almost entirely my own instrument patches. A few of the older ones are developments from other people's (in which case I acknowledge that in the info window). For this particular tune it's just one patch - 'Ghost Ensemble' in my 'Companion' bank.
