This is what I sent to Jon:
Some kind of opening-chord, a mood-setter intro for “On the Road to Shiraz”. An intro to the intro. Something that might sound like dawn in an Arabic countryside w/o being too literal (((i.e. no arabic scale or quarter-tones))). Perhaps a grainy texture, representing sand, but also sweet, like dates and figs.
And this is what he returned:
Isn’t that lovely! And how did Michael figure out where to play the tom-hits at the beginning of the first chorus, when we worked without a click-track and we could not see each other? That kind of wonderful stuff starts happening when a band works well together.
Messing around Wednesday evening…
Love it, both music and cover.
Y said it best.
Y definitely said it best!
Yes, Lovely Description and Music. I like the moss covered stone wall with petal blossoms, and just a suggestion, a softer font for POP and that Ottmar Liebert + Luna Negra, also to be one with the branch and not seperated from the tree branch, as OL+LN would further show the connection of the tree to the petals.
Love it!
