Create Flow
5 videos • 5,404 views • by music2work2 You know that state when you get lost in your work? When time seems to fly by and everything is just easy? That's Flow. That's you at your most creative and most productive. The music on this playlist was all created from a state of flow; the intent being that you will reach your own state of flow faster if you have this on in the background. The playlist is built around two themes, one minor progression that's been around for years and the other, more positive and uplifting, belonging to my mother. I really hadn't intended on developing her theme during these sessions but, mirroring real life, it couldn't resist coming in and turning something sad into something hopeful! Thanks Mum. There is little formal composition done before the performance, I know the core structure of the themes but have no idea how they will be developed. I'll sit at the piano with a click track and the title of the piece and play whatever comes to mind. Just for fun I've blended in some ocean noise with a couple of the tracks - I took the camera down to Leo Carillo state beach and balanced it precariously on a rocky outcrop and shot the surf for a while. It certainly brings some interest to the audio and some motion and indeed "flow" to the videos. Oh and yes - I couldn't resist doing one glow stick track! The image used across all five tracks is from Singapore based photographer Kylie Woon - I fell in love with the movement and the color palette and felt that it conveyed the idea of "Flow" in a really cool way. Kylie has a really interesting perspective on the world, you should check out her imagery here on Flickr.http://www.flickr.com/photos/somewher...
