James Friesen - Track Notes

Here are some descriptions and technical notes on each of the music tracks I have posted on my website. My music is often inspired by the sounds themselves, but occasionally there is more to the story. I will try to give some meaning to each song, though, ultimately, it is the listener that truly gives meaning to music. These songs are free for you to enjoy. Please let me know you are listening, and feel free to post your comments. Visit my site at: www.jamesfriesen.com

Dreamin'

Copyright 1997 by James Friesen

The title, Dreamin', is a reference to the German synth group, Tangerine Dream, who's 70's and early 80's music influenced me a great deal.

Once again, I think I used the drumKAT controller patched to a synth voice to create the opening bouncy rhythm that runs through the song, then composed the rest of the song over that. I was never very happy with the simple drums and bass, but I was in a hurry to get the whole project completed and so I moved on!
