Disquiet Junto 0292 Eclipse Music
The Disquiet Junto this week asks musicians to ponder the solar eclipse occurring in the US on 21 August.
I've only seen lunar eclipses, so I pondered the majesty of a solar eclipse for a while and then set about finding ideas on the guitar.
It took a little while and then I worked to record my part before dinner.
There was only time for a single take and at first I thought I'd need to return and record another, but I decided to use the MIDI recording rather than the electric guitar.
Marimba is an instrument that appeals to me for its percussive quality but the low E of the guitar only triggers a few sampled instruments, so I've used tuba and double bass.
There's also bowed vibraphone in the mix, adding resonance in the higher frequencies.
