Breathe Easy

Breathe Easy
Written and Recorded 2010

"Breathe Easy" is another one of my Songettes made in Baraboo.  Despite the unhappiness I felt with my work and a bit of self pitty thrown in there, I'm always surprised to hear some of the music I made in those times. This is one of many that is (to me at least) very relaxing and calming. I'd like to think this was an outpouring of my subconscious trying to guide me a long. Even now it brings me a little peace.
  • 70-80% of the Songettes were recorded as straight MIDI instruments, which I would do through "Musical Typing" in either Garageband or Logic. Musical Typing is when you are able to use the QWERTY keyboard as a mini piano keyboard. It takes some time to get used to, but I just ended up just playing a lot of single note lines.
  • I like this one in particular because of the amount of building that goes on in just over a minute. Having an intro and outro helps frame the main section a bit. Also the higher piano unifies the piece with the single note off beats and then doing some uneven arpeggios (Musical Typing is a beast!)
