Music for 06-23-06c
Baby I’m a Star by Prince. So far I’ve got the loops, acoustic bass, piano, clav, and hammond. I’ve got most of the form together except for the ending and maybe the last couple shout choruses. 140bpm in the key of D.

I’m focusing on two things here. Hand interdependence and phrasing with little or no regard to pitch. So motion and rhythm basically.
This is a warm up on a cool and dreary day.
I captured this quickly. I’m experimenting with motion in the bass and piano at first. Then I try to bring some contrast into the chord progression. It’s not quite right, but I try it a few more times anyway. I hear a quiet vocal melody teasing the rhythm and motion of the piano and bass. Mainly quarter notes and some syncopation to turn the rhythm around.
