I was 17 when I recorded these pieces of music. <br /><br />Studying A-level Music taught me a lot about classical music and I guess this is my sort-of take on a Baroque suite. Had I have not had the perfect names for each improvisation already, they would have probably been put into some sort of order and called Prelude, Allemande, Sarabande, Gigue, etc<br /><br />A few years prior to this I played bass in local dance-band Langestt Dance Orchestra (LDO) and regularly played songs like Glenn Miller's 'In The Mood'. Hence the pun. Naturally.<br /><br />Listening back to them thirteen years on and being a teacher of music myself now it's nice to hear that even through the mistakes of improvising, I think the general characteristic of each mode came out. I was obsessed by dark music at the time and I remember Phrygian and Locrian being a lot of fun to record.<br /><br />It also reminds me of the times when I was obsessed with trying to make track lengths round up to the full minute. Wow. Just wow.<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHrlVfZgcyU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHrlVfZgcyU</a>
