RAY TO GO 2 - Odd Times
Percussion Music for Dance Class
by Ray McNamara
Features 10 long tracks of percussion in Odd Meters
"This
is the much anticipated companion CD to the original "Ray To GO".
Ray To Go 2 (Odd Times) fills a void with dance music of varying meters.
All of these "Odd Time" selections are inprovisations based
on movement I have encountered throughout my years as a dance musician.
All of these tracks are recorded organically with no edits to preserve
the spontaneity of each piece.
I hope to show that music in odd time signatures
can be heard comfortably and be fun to move to.
I have used varyong instrumentation
to keep the listener engaged.
The meter and the subdivisions should be
clear throughout. However, please give a good listen to the pieces to
familiarize yourself." ... Ray McNamara
