Making a new CD. How do I compose new tunes? I play what I'm yearning to hear, it's that simple. Although, it's not exactly simple. I do let the music flow from my heart, mind and soul, as I long to hear it, moving from different harmonies and allowing my intuition to move my hand along a melody I'm longing to hear. I rework some melody and harmony directions when I'm not pleased with what I've heard. It's almost exclusively what I hear or need to hear that guides my composition.
I'm working on a project of recording a CD of my own compositions of relaxing harp music, for meditation, calming, massage and spa treatments. Perfect for massage facilities, guided meditation, retreats, therapy settings, bath time, to induce sleep and relaxing at home or work, for personal and professional settings. I have some tunes composed already in my collection and this morning I began some new selections. I've been having a relatively creative week, even though I was feeling a bit down. The results were that I moved in an excessively creative path, composing, sewing, gardening, decorating, so I now have new rewards to satisfy the ego and the soul.
