BassoonTube - A short explanation on the power of loss

I haven't uploaded the Carol of the Bells arrangement. Never even recorded it. It's too late to use it now. I wish that the only reason was that I was busy. I wish I could go back and this had never happened. But, life doesn't work like that. At around 4pm on 16th December 2014 my loving, wonderful, amazing dad passed away suddenly and completely unexpectedly. To say the world has crashed around me doesn't even cover it. The worst thing is that I'd been so busy doing work for college that I hadn't seen him for two months before this happened.

But, that's enough of me being emotional for the minute. After all, some poor examiner is going to have to read this and I don't think that an essay on the destructive power of loss on my creativity and motivation will brighten up their day. This being said, I have arranged and recorded a track. A cover of Hey There Delilah by Plain White Ts for flute, oboe and two bassoons. Although this is technically outside my original plan I am going to include it. My brother played the flute and oboe parts however we are not ready to release it publicly yet as it's original purpose was to be played at the funeral which we finally had a few days ago.

Due to the fact that it could be some time before the track is uploaded I'm just gonna include a screen capture to prove that it is in existence.

For obvious reasons I have decided to scale back my project slightly. I had been hoping to create 4 tracks and videos but, with the amount of work I have to do for college on top of all the personal issues I am having I have come to the conclusion that there are not enough hours in the day. As such I am hoping to create three tracks and upload them onto SoundCloud. Depending on how they go down I am also going to plan some videos and, if some of these copyright people ever get back to me, I will upload them to YouTube at some point over the summer.

Hopefully there won't be too long a gap this time haha, see you soon xx
