Steve does the most fantastic pencil illustrations I have ever seen - I simply cannot describe the skill and talent that he has. He has asked me to produce some music to be featured on the website and I have wasted no time in putting together some ideas.
Although I am yet to receive a brief for the project, I have began working under the following, self suggested guidelines:
- The music should be subtle, verging on ambient so as not to distract from the artwork.
- The music should be focus on acoustic sounds with electronic sounds serving only to reinforce the lead acoustic parts.
- The production must be of the highest commercial quality that I can produce so that it appeals to a wide variety of listeners.
- The feel of the music should be fairly neutral, leaving the artwork to create mood and evoke emotion.
So far, I have began putting together a demo track which is sounding good. The biggest two challenges I have to overcome at the moment are to keep a neutral sound to the piece, but mainly, to smoothly blend various parts into one another to create that gentle ambient feel. Subtlety is the key.
