Since I mentioned my composer friend, I'm going to introduce the group to his work.
This piece of music, called Funeral, is a Fantasia on Chopin's famous Funeral March. You may recognize this quicker than I did.
For whatever reason, the music captivated me, and I have spent a lot of time corresponding with the composer. He is an authority on musical history (favourite composer is Sibelius).
He does not play any instruments. His compositions are all done on an aging Windows computer. You cannot buy his music. If he likes you, he will give it to you, so long as you credit him with the composition.
He has composed a vast number of albums. His latest project is based around the four elements; air, water, earth and fire. Don't be fooled. He isn't an alchemist or anything weird.
A while back, he went through the composer's version of writer's block, and after some conversations with me, declared that I had somehow inspired him to begin composing again. He dedicated his album "Alberta" to me, in a way that I found both familiar and touching, using my initials, in much the same way as Elgar did for his special friends in his Enigma variations. His composition "Arctic Circle", from that album, is one of the most pleasant pieces I've ever heard.
Anyway, here is Jason Hancock, from the English Midlands. I hope you enjoy his music as much as I do.
