Week 11.1



Context*: Walking down an unfamiliar street
Emotion*: excited but unsure
Other: guitar and strings

Well I was out of my groove, so this one felt a bit rough.
I tried to give it some forward momentum, while including more and more modern harmonies, the foreign and unfamiliar nature of the location shows through in those abnormal note pairings, without being overwhelming.  If I took the 'unfamiliar' element too far, the piece would end up being scary instead of just unsure or uneasy.  The excitement comes from that forward motion, and I think it works pretty well throughout.
I reveal my cello fetish once again
