Wedding Music
Some may be in the know here, but for Marieta and my wedding, I am writing all the music for the ceremony (minus a couple of catholic mass things). It is something I have always wanted to do. It's pretty challenging, and personally I find it a touch demanding. There are a lot of elements at play. When you play in a band you could care less about what people think about your tunes (well that's not entirely true). The songs you write are the songs you write and if you attract an audience kudos. Basically you may be playing for no one, but if you do have an audience chances are those people want to hear your tunes. That's not the case with this. This is the first time I am writing with an audience in mind, wedding goers. The music needs to fit the mood of the situation and not be off putting to those listening. No one will be attending our wedding with the specific reason of listening to my tunes. It's kind of like when you go see a movie. Tim Burton movies are notorious
