Title: 911 Suite
Post by: Johnny-Boy on August 25, 2006, 03:29:17 PM: Bobby got me thinking about my serious music on his website.

Here's the same post I posted on CC:

Here's a Suite in four movements I composed the day after 911. I suppose it was my way of finding some peace in the midst of such horror. Cal recently re-ignited my heartfelt feelings and sadness towards the victims of 911 with his moving lyrics title "Ground Zero".

911 Suite (Four Movements)
1. Dawn's Early Light (the morning after)
2. Reality Strikes
3. Such Deep Sadness
4. Move to the Light

Have you had an opportunity to do any since you aquired the Yamaha Workstation?

I've been so busy writing songs I haven't had time to record in more depth (production-wise). When I retire I'll start recording more soundtrack music. ::)

I'm embarrassed to say I've only learned the bare essentials of the Motif workstation. I haven't even used samples yet. I have some great piano and string samples I could be using. :-[

I'll get there sooner or later.

Best, John :)
