Therefore you must be reasonably 'happy' within your own terms of reference, especially as my tune didn't create a feeling of {ahem} euphoria!

Sometimes I think it's best to try to get close to 'real' flutes, other times I think it's better to stay away.

Sometimes a little sequence suggests a scene which I then build on other times it's a scene which sets a mood that the notes will fall into. In this case it was a collage of ballroom dance, village fairground and marching band. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

In my psyche (admittedly influenced by 'way too many horror and sf books & movies from the 50s and 60s) there's something inherently surreal or even menacing about such things and events. Perhaps it's a cultural conditioning ? Best, dp

When I was 3 I was in a children's home for a while. All the kids had a distinctive flower as a tag on all their possessions. This was also used to indicate where they should sit at the table, which cot/bed was theirs etc. I'm sure it made things a lot easier for the staff, but to this day I feel a sense of affinity to anything with a wild poppy on it - and a field of them always gives me a lift. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
