How beautiful is listening to music?

in #music5 years ago

It all starts with a small keyboard accompanied by a myriad of harmonic ideas to put on black and white.

I realized I was a musician from a strange detail. We talk about many years ago. While I was listening to a piece by Jethro Tull and precisely This is not Love from the Catfish Rising album I had the feeling that the instrumental part, the one in which an instrument usually excels and dominates the rest of the melody with an incredible force, lasted too little.
I practically got mad at that song :-) and took off my headphones! That guitar had to keep playing for at least another 3 minutes! It was too cool. But no, the singer (legendary Ian Anderson) took up the refrain and so on ... Why make the most beautiful and central part of a piece last a few seconds? The one in which the listener starts to get goose bumps and travels up his inner worlds?
I've asked myself many times.

I noticed, among other things, that many other groups used the same technique. Nothing to say we would miss. The reason lay in the fact that the main heart of a musical piece is usually in the text - Italian or English - so it goes without saying that in order not to lengthen the times too much, many composers cut where they could ... And here's the flaw that made me angry that day with the goddess Music. :-)

Only Pink Floyd dared to lengthen the instrumental parts (just think of the immortal Atom Earth Mother with its infinite suite), followed by several Metal and Hard Rock groups (such as Deep Purple for example).
Since then the idea of ​​a music that was free of text and full of melodies that could bring the listener to where he wanted most came to light. We say that the purpose of the instrumental genre was (always) just that. I'm not the one who discovered it.

So I set to work building a genre that would identify me as the "New Moon Rock Composer". The Rock of the New Moon.
The passion for legends, mystery and esotericism (and a good dose of Iron Maiden's album) gave me the idea of ​​a kind of electronic Rock between dark and pleasant (a bit like when the moon goes and comes from behind the clouds).
