new music…

as a gift to my sister - in - law for her wedding, i composed a song for her to walk down the isle to.  after deliberating on what to write,  i twittered this and my friend @stutterglitch ( be sure to visit his myspace ) offered to add his take on whatever i came up with. this gave me a nice shot in the arm and i set to tracking the original melody in Reason. after sending the piano part to him, he sent back a great interpretation of my theme complete with subtle strings and “whimsical” (for lack of better term) toy piano-esqe lead. it really opened up the song and put a whole new bent on it. taking his track and my track, i blended the two into what you’ll hear here. i am ever the advocate of finding cheap and out of the box ways to do things so i mixed the tracks in a very cool audio program called Reaper. If you’ve used Cubase or Sony Acid Pro, Reaper will feel familiar to you. (some day soon i’ll be into ProTools!) the final result is the track posted here. -its in mp3 so there may be some degeneration of quality.- what will be played at the wedding will actually be a custom mix of the 2 tracks designed to fit the ceremony. much thanks to @stutterglitch for the great contribution. enjoy! click to play:  a-new-beginning-copyright-2009-joshua-clifford-conti-bmi-and-ed-lewis-mp3
