39 7 The Storm Cat Video - for Paolo! Hi everyone - here is my video which features my track 'Storm Cat' from the album, 'Between Worlds'. This video is dedicated to my lovely @patreon, Paolo! Huge thanks to my husband, Phil @geniuslocimusic for his amazing filming. This took place around Cape Cornwall, and a couple of seals make an appearance too!

Playing the piano as a solo instrument led to me writing a lot of my music as a result of improvising. What I love about the piano, is being able to play in a natural, fluid way, and in a commercial studio setting, I often felt that playing along to a click track was at odds to this, particularly when the music I was writing was atmospheric and soloistic in nature. Having my own piano at home – which I have played on since the age of twelve – feels comfortable when composing and recording. Many studio keyboards do not have the range of notes that a piano has, and having the use of two pedals to create an impressionist soundscape is also an important factor for me.

Various versions of this have been viewed over 2 million times on YouTube. It has also been used in weddings and funerals around the world. It first appeared on my second album ‘Inspirational Journey’. I also perform this as a string arrangement in @classicalstringsuk Sue x . . #composer #celticmusic #cornwallwedding #piano #pianomusic #pianist #cornwalllife #devonwedding #weddingcomposer #filmscore #sueastonmusic #classicalmusic #musicvideo #musicproducer #musicproduction #weddingsong 68 10 Studio Notes (Short Version) Here is an update about my latest recording work, including my new single with @classicalstringsuk !

It will be a cover of a song which has been my most popular arrangement this year.I am going to add some extra harmonies and get the mixing done in the next few days.

Here is my video 'November Skies' from my EP 'Winter Keys'. It features Marazion Marsh which I find an inspiring location for my composing. The opening piano motif was created by noticing the positioning of birds on a telegraph pole outside my window. The track is available on Spotify and Apple Music.

As long as I have a strong melody I can add instruments and harmonies and take the music to another dimension. #composer #filmcomposer #filmproducer #musicproducer #musicsync #musicvideo #musicproduction #filmproduction #filmmaker #indiefilmmaking #indiefilm #musicarranger #music #bbc6music
