Bring out your dead mellotrons

music, alfred

The backing of the part will be purely mellotron playing the chords two notes at a time, but not constantly! No no no! That would not be appropriate.

The spice of this part will be space

And since I have been listening to quite a bit of Space Music the last few days, I’ll make sure there are plenty of sweeps and gurgles accompanying the composed music. Layered on top, yes sir ee.

The chord progression, as I wrote, will be the same as in Part III, but it will be only run through once and at half the tempo. So, the lengths of the two parts will match exactly. Isn’t this an amusingly sterile way to create a piece of music? I think yeah, but it amuses me greatly, so I shall continue. So, on to the Mellotron part. I shall return shortly.
