Soho (Past) by Martin Strang published on 2020-04-16T12:28:29Z The Lockdown Sessions is a conceptual instrumental Jazz EP composed and recorded during the covid-19 lockdown in April 2020. The album reflects the perception of the artist before, during and his hope for the future. SOHO This is a song that represents past. A more relaxed and classic Jazz club take on experiencing live music. You can even hear people clapping together before social distancing was even a thing. At the end is noticeable that something happen. It all have been so abrupt. WHAT’S GOING ON? (INTERLUDE 1) This short statement transition us from an unexpected situation to an emotional state. Uncertainty comes to mind. QUARANTINE This song represents present, the lockdown state. Fear, sadness, acceptance. Everything into a sensible deep instrumentation form of chords waiting to transcend into emotions. This song really reflects the way I’m feeling (at the moment of writing this) regarding this crazy situation. (By the way, today is easter Sunday. ) WHAT NOW? (INTERLUDE 2) This interlude is very calming and soothing. I was emotionally tired when I was composing this piece, So I created the music I needed to hear at the moment. An easy and warm transition to the future ahead, the kind of music that tucks you into bed. Tomorrow will be another day. NOVEMBER A song that represents change, a new beginning, a future cohesive sound to embrace. November will deliver an immersive experience. We don’t know when and if things will get back to “normal” November is just a dot in the horizon to think about the future. There will always be another November… #SCxiamOTHER Genre Jazz & Blues Comment by Robert Grigg Nice deep groove and feel on this track. Love the bass and Guitar is outstanding.
