Listen to Mint Mulan excerpt by AutoMattock #np on #SoundCloud
It is often helpful if I verbally articulate the way I feel about a piece of music I'm working on... there's an emotional content that my goal is to explain without words. Sometimes I don't have those words and yet I have to generate the same feeling I get from what is on my mind to a language I've don't to even have complete command over. Issues about life I don't have that command to understand, yet can still ATTEMPT to express.
In MINT MULAN my feeling is that of empathy, understanding, and almost apologetic yet knowing I wasn't in the wrong. I use my artistic passion as a means of an apology. It was painful knowing I was in some way involved with hurting somebody in a way that I didn't anticipate. I still try to maintain a positive vibe despite this. It's also a reflection on how I can better interact with people.
I use a cello cause I used to play cello. The idea there is to place more of myself in the music. The beginning theme is actually from a song with lyrics that I wrote titled "Somebody will love you". That song was written for somebody previously and I never used it. Where the magic happened was that song had the same common chord progression of a song called “Mint”, by my favorite pianist from japan. The themes fit perfectly both melodically and metaphorically. I put the two themes together and it was gorgeous. I am currently working on combining this with other tracks I’ve had tucked away for the longest time, “Concepts” and “Relationships”. I want the ending to be fast, intense, and forward moving as if to sign off with the interaction with myself and music only.
