"'Ground'
is a piece I created a while ago. I wanted the beat to very minimalistic,
which I think I succeeded in. I like how it stops and "holds it's breath"
every second bar. At the time, I chose a very basic bass-sound; something
I would do otherwise today. But, that felt right then, so, so be it.
As an effect,
I recorded an "ambient-instrument" I made from oakwood a couple
of years ago. It resembles those wind-chimes some people have hanging
on their porch, but wooden.
I improvised
the melody on a recorder and I enjoy its melancholy. I repeated the melody
on my soprano saxophone, as a contrast to the thin sound of the recorder.
You'll also
hear a favourite of mine, a small xylophone from Järna, Sweden. It
comprises only an octave, but the sustain is wonderfully long.
All in all,
I find it a sweet, little melody." |
