A Point of View

A Point Of  View

An incident/mis-understanding with a friend, caused me to rethink what and how a relationship worked, and also how I viewed the world in general. The piece was originally sadder, but i lightened the tone somewhat, and as the different motifs came to me, and the instruments used. I realized it represented how I viewed myself, and how I perceived life in general and how it has drastically changed over the years.

While not excited to have turned 70, I realized my mother set an example of how to age gracefully. Without getting worked up over losses, both physical in my health, friendships, shrinking finances, the state of society and the world. So my mom was like the branch that bend with the wind and survived longer. My Dad was more rigid in his thinking, and did not deal well with the changes and losses that were happening to me.. No judgement on my Dad, we are each as emotionally different as we are physical. It’s just that one can’t immediately judge the emotional makeup of a person. where as its very easy to see physical makeup.

I hope that point comes across in the music.  I wasn’t directly thinking about that, but as the piece matured, and I worked on and refined certain sections. I realized this was what I was subconsciously doing,

hello my friend. what i can feel is peace..tranquility..  sounds good. The only thing that i did not like was bells? is bells ? 0:45 very loud the sound. but is beatiful ! 🙂

Thanx Emanuel - those are wind chimes.  Yes they could be more subtle.  I'll try to tweak it down in a remix in a day or two.  There are a few spots, where some volume adjustments on individual instruments would benefit.
