Behind the scenes: composing "Aoife" for Art of the Song, vol. 1

Sharing with you a little bit of how one of our new songs came to be. This song called "Aoife" is based on simplicity and melody much like tunes such as "Fly Me to the Moon", "Satin Doll", "Autumn Leaves", etc. Memorable themes. We hope you enjoy it.

This duo developed as an online recording project - Derek Lee Bronston recorded in Brooklyn and me in Europe. The current results of those efforts can be found here: http://thesongproject.net

When Derek was visiting in Switzerland recently, we went into the studio and recorded the official CD. It has new originals and even a cover of AC/DC's "All Night Long", a Radiohead tune called "Packt Like Sardines In A Crushed Tin" and "Mad World" by Tears for Fears. The project has really grown into an engaging musical performance where each song is explored freely and melodically.
