This week I hardly had any time to work on Weekly Beats! I wanted to make something with a different time signature, but just ended up with triplets (I think that's what they are?). Anyway, I was inspired to make something Celtic sounding that could also work in a film soundtrack. I was a little bit inspired by the work of film composer John Powell of How to Train Your Dragon fame.

I wanted to have a main melody played on solo violin - unfortunately I found that the only solo violin I had was a free one that doesn't really sound good at all - oh well! I had to use it. (I was also starting to think I subconsciously stole the melody from Riverdance, but I had a listen and I don't think so.) If anyone recognizes it, let me know. :]

I feel like I might be just at the threshold of starting to feel okay about sharing my work that I feel is so imperfect and unpolished - music that I made quickly in flow, just for fun. Sure the violin isn't great sounding, but it's a creative idea and it's still worth sharing.

So I will keep creating!
