Week 13 - New Year - Audio from recording session

So, I've had a few weeks to mull things over. I don't know what happened after the session. I had no real reason to be disappointed, yet I was. Now that I've sat on it for a while, I listened to the recording again and seem to be (for the moment at least) happy with it.

I don't remember if I relayed the specifics of this cue (piece of music) so I'll recap.

We wrote a cue for a Romantic Comedy and were allowed to use exiting ROM COMs as examples. The instrumentation was fixed; the melody was played by a soprano sax, the texture (accompaniment) was 7 violins, 3 violas, 2 cellos and 1 double bass. 

Over the course of three weeks I met with a composition advisor to go over my current work and make changes he felt were necessary, the cue was carefully crafted a bit at a time and was eventually approved to be recorded.

Well, you know what happened Thursday before the session and Friday of (if you've read my previous posts that is) so no need to cover that again. 

I've put the recording up on my Patreon page in front of the pay wall so you can listen even if you are not a subscribing patron.
