Another beautiful theme, 'Earth' is up for this week's soundshoot. I think this is a theme that gives a lot of space for creativity and flexibility. It could be an emotion of home, protecting the planet, or praising the beauty of creation.

My initial thoughts about Earth is elements, an image of the sky, sea, ground, sunlight, villages, almost everything... (basically it does contain almost everything that we know). Hey, these thoughts sound pretty familiar, it's somehow related to some previous themes. This would be exciting, I've decided to do a mash up of my previous soundshoots.

Mash ups are basically taking essence and significant parts of different songs/tracks and putting them into one. My soundshoots have no lyrics, so I can only extract instrument tracks that gives the identity. The line up of my parts with related themes are:

• Garden of Life (Rainforest) - Guitar plucking (loop 1) & Piano fill ins (loop 3)
• Submerged Beauty (Underwater) - Vibraphone counter melody
• Sunny Steps (Sunshine) - Whistle lead (loop 1) & Phaser pad (loop 3)
• Starry Tide (Wave) - Guitar plucking (loop 2) & Piano fill ins (loop 2)
• United Division (Cityscape) - Pan flute lead (loop 3)

I've had this idea for the whole week, but only have the time to start midi-ing on Sunday night (submission dateline is the next morning). I wonder if it's an improvement or a rush =.= Was working on this soundshoot til 4 am, I thought I'm gonna skip this theme if I don't make it in time.

-Micah 7:8-

It's been a while since I did a mash up, although this is a really simple one. A rather fresh idea instead of doing original new tune all the time. I pray that I will not become weary of doing this, it could be pretty discouraging during time constraint and lack of ideas. Just want to be reminded that this is something fun to do, Amen.
