I love creating things, and this page summarises posts where I have created things.

How to Draw Almost Every Day

2020-10-05 hellotham Category: art, create

I bought a book called “How to Draw Almost Every Day : An Illustrated Sourcebook” by “Kamo” and have been practising some of the drawings. I am using COPIC markers.

Bach – Prelude No 1 in C major WTC1

2018-04-01 hellotham Category: music, create

First piano recording done using a metronome – Bach’s Prelude No 1. I have decided to play it at a slower tempo than usual, to highlight each note and to introduce micro rhythms within the bar and across bars. The piano is a virtual Bosendorfer 290 recorded at EastWest Studios, and the piece was played on a Kawai MP10 and then processed using Logic Pro X, QL Spaces and iZotope Ozone 8.

Olhos De Gato (orchestral arrangement)

2014-05-30 hellotham Category: music, create

To celebrate the completion of the Jazz Improvisation class I am taking, I have arranged Olhos de Gato, by Carla Bley (one of the pieces studied in class) for orchestra. I have created a string backing for the melody, then added the melody from “Memories of Tomorrow” (another piece studied in class) as a counterpoint, and also my own melody as a further counterpoint. Finally, I created a new ending, based on a descending harmonic progression.

500 Miles High

2014-04-25 hellotham Category: music, create

500 Miles High

This is my arrangement of Chick Corea’s beautiful song for string quartet. I took the lead sheet and expanded it to four parts for string quartet, with each instrument (apart from cello) taking turns to play the melody, with the other instruments either providing counterpoint or harmony.

Memories of Tomorrow

2014-04-21 hellotham Category: music, create

Memories of Tomorrow

This my attempt at jazz arrangement and improvisation, inspired by an assignment from Gary Burton’s Jazz Improvisation course at Coursera. I took the original lead sheet provided in the assignment, then expanded to four parts that are polyrhythmic as well as polyphonic (based on Latin rhythms). I also added separate improvisations for piano and flute. Finally, I added open-voiced string harmonisation in the final section to indicate the guide tones and basis for future improvisation.

Ave Maria (Vavilov) – Finale/GPO4

2014-03-24 hellotham Category: music, create

This is my attempt at transcribing and arranging one of the most beautiful melodies I have heard. The full name of this piece is Неизвестный автор XVI в. (Ave Maria). Often (incorrectly) ascribed to Guilio Caccini, this work was actually composed by Vladimir Fyodorovich Vavilov (Влади́мир Фёдорович Вави́лов) in 1970 and featured in his album “Lute music of the XVI-XVII cent.” (Лютневая музыка 16-17 веков) released on the Melodiya label. I have transcribed the melody by listening to the original recording, then harmonised, added counterpoint and arranged it in 12 parts for strings and woodwinds.
