Music... My entire life, music has been the "driving force" in everything that I've done. I started taking piano lessons at the age of 6, played in bands all through high school, graduated with a degree in piano from college, and all the while learned as much as I could about the recording studio by working as a session musician and learning the art of recording. To me, music can be visualized by colors. Every sound that you hear has a particular color attached to it and likewise, so does every emotion. That's what I'm attempting to capture in my music. I want to take emotions that are a part of one's natural life and "paint" a picture into my musical landscapes. Before I write a song, I name it. That name is a "hint" as to what I was thinking of. Then the sounds that I used, the melody, the counter-melodies, rhythms, etc. are all part of the final scene. I hope you enjoy my attempts at capturing an emotion for a moment in time....

Story behind the song
In recent years, my large collection of synthesizers, traditional instruments, and ancient ones, has allowed me to "paste and superimpose" a variety of layered sounds, each moving in their own cycles of time. Listen closely and you'll realize that there is a lot more going on then you might initially hear... The song was created by playing all the parts until I had the sound(s) that I was looking for... It was a beautiful night, stars bright, then within about 5 minutes, clouds completely obscured the night, but in a sometimes gentle, sometimes powerful, and finally, a perfect night scene again with the music echoing the last 10-15 seconds that signals a return from the somewhat strange encounter. The next day, I heard that upper altitude powerful winds pushed the clouds overhead and then the wind blew them almost as quickly away. That night I went into my studio and decided to arrange the various parts, (while still attempting not to add any special effects to the recording). Only the various sounds that were formed from my instruments were used to create into a cohesive structured song. Listen closely and see if you hear the various rhythms inside the clouds. The whole picture is there:-) This is also a free download. I hope you enjoy it. Glen Heffner 8-5-2016
