Showreel 3

A piece of music from a few years ago, part of the Tales from The Olive Grove album, some of which was featured in Showreel 2.

There's something about this piece, Freedom, that I've always liked from a composition and performance perspective. Nowadays I'd play and record it differently to achieve a better sound and production.

For a start, I'd ensure that the recording system didn't introduce blurts (can't think of a better word, but you'll recognise them when you hear them). There are only two blurts and if you're not listening carefully, you may miss them or attribute them to something else in your environment. I'd also change the drums to something closer to the times; midi drums like that were fine then, but not now.

You never know, if I find suitable time on my hands, I may just re-record it.
