Blue Secrets, Music is emotion or is it not?

Blue Secrets

Music is emotion. A musical portrait of the Australian Outback. Blue Secrets.

Blue secrets is one of the tracks I enjoy most from the CD called Spanish Breeze by Thomas Lorenzo.

Thomas plays electric guitar on this composition accompanied by Alphonso Johnson on Bass, Walfredo Reyes on Drums and Dave Garfield on Piano. The track was recorded in 2009 at West-lake Recording Studios Los Angeles by Bruce Sugar.

After listening to the track a few times I realise that the composer does portray a notion of vastness, slow travel, reflection and harmony but in the middle of the track something strange happens.

I get a feeling that the scenario that the composer had in mind has now changed. We are no longer in a vast space.

There are walls around us, an urban enclosure but once again it is still soothing.

There is still a trance in this new setting and I must say that a clever one as the melody is the same all the way through the composition but what changes is the harmonic complexity.

After this new setting gets clearly stated the harmony complexity disappears and once again we are back in the vastness of the possible dessert.

Conclusion

I wonder if the track ever needed this change of setting.

Is is that human beings cannot focus on something nice for a prolonged period without forgetting who they are ?

I believe this is the case and this is what the composer was trying to say with his music.

To see beauty we must reflect upon ourselves.

Nice really Nice.

Would I like to visit the Outback after listening to this song.?

I think I would.
