9. Storm Song
October 18, 2008
The Inspiration and Composition:
Storm Song was a composition I wrote for Storm Nilson, the guitar player heard on track 2, “Paris Commune”. He is a great person and and talented player; and was only 22 at the time he recorded on this album.
This piece started as a study in random composition. 12 notes were put into a hat and 7 drawn out to create a random scale. The entire theme is made just from those 7 notes in all 3 parts, the melody, harmony and bass. The chord changes for improvising were a close interpretation of the harmony from the main theme and the interlude was written over those interpreted chord changes.
