>> Hello all--
>>
>> It feels good to finally get back to composing and recording a little.
>> I've been working on an old piece I never finished. The draft audio
>> files are here:
>>
>> Blues in C 1
>>   OGG
>>   http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/audio/ogg/stephen-doonan_blues-in-c-1.ogg
>>
>>   MP3
>>   http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/audio/mp3/stephen-doonan_blues-in-c-1.mp3
>>
>> Usually I record the audio directly into Ardour or Audacity, but this
>> time I recorded the MIDI performance instead, into Rosegarden (I also like
>> Muse very much), then played back the slightly cleaned up MIDI file and
>> recorded the audio produced by the tone generator (a rack-mounted Roland
>> Fantom XR) that was being "played" by the MIDI file, which is here:
>>
>> Blues in C 1, MIDI (standard MIDI file type 1)
>> http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/midi/stephen-doonan_blues-in-c-1_version-2.mid
>>
>> A much older version of Blues in C 1, MIDI file:
>> http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/midi/stephen-doonan_blues-in-c-1_version-1.mid
>>
>> My Blues in C 2, a more recent composition that I finished and recorded
>> before finishing Blues in C 1:
>> http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/audio/ogg/stephen-doonan_blues-in-c-2.ogg
>> http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/audio/mp3/stephen-doonan_blues-in-c-2.mp3
>>
>> Both of these "blues in C major" were created with one original idea: to
>> take a standard, bare-bones, dirt-simple blues progression in C
>> (tonic/subdominant/dominant "1, 4, 5" song) and try to do something
>> "interesting" with it, but retaining the essential skeleton of the blues
>> in C major. In Blues in C 1, I aimed for putting in a different "passing
>> chord" for every beat of every bar, only briefly landing on C, F and G
>> at their mandatory times. For Blues in C 2, the more recent composition
>> but the first to be completed and recorded, the idea and intent remained
>> the same, but the technique I used was to have a bass line that shifted
>> all around the C, F and G which formed the piece's structure, and that
>> technique allowed for some interesting melodic composition.
>>
>> Anyway, I hope everybody's doing well--
