The hands with the sun reminded me of sunrise and sunset and the idea of trying to make sense of everything. The piano track falls and rises again. Everything over top was done on my Chompi (a sampler/looper that I'm still getting the hang of!)

Performed by Quinn Degeneste (I played out the idea, but Quinn performed it today). The theme is forced perspective and teachable to children. The idea with this piece is that the baseline is very simple. This is like the real sized person. It is bigger, and its job is simpler. The right hand is at least one octave above the left hand. This is farther away and smaller, but its complexity lets the simplicity of the left hand feel complex and interesting and memorable. The idea of a simple bassline conveys the idea that simple ideas conveyed well will let a children build on top of an idea over time. We almost had another instrument layered on top of this but the mix was off and it was unpleasant to listen to, so we get the raw piano track today. There is one brief hiccup in the recording.

There are days when the sun is shining beautifully. There are days when the problems of today are someone else's. And on those days... you can fall back to sleep and finish up your dreams.

This is my first composition party ever! I was trying to get effects to alter my piano playing here, but I couldn't get the effects to export with the line-out. So, it's just some piano playing today. Thank you all for the opportunity :)
