Blimey. This one was a difficult stinker; it gave me a blooming ache, right in my bonce.
I don’t like a lot of classical music, but I really like Bach’s ‘Air on a G-string’ and thought I’d go exploring it some more...
I worked out the chords for the first section, put them into a midifile, reversed the midifile, put in a new bass line and had a listen.
I wasn’t expecting an epiphany, but I was surprised how disharmonious it sounded, probably likely due to me rather than Bach. I think that’s safe to assume.
So I did a spot of tweaking until the chords seemed more friendly. Then I added a new bass line
Next I decided to put on a tune which would have very little up and down movement in its pitch. This was my challenge...
The result is a plaintive tune which seems to be finding its way nervously along a path, containing a theme which appears several times and works over different chords. So although it’s only a minute long, this one was a headache and made me very aware of my limitations. Which of course, is good for building the character.
Would you like to see more of my Bach side? (ha ha ha ha ha etc)

After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway...
