promenade from pics
on: February 01, 2007, 08:40:15 PM
pictures at an exhibition.  my rendition of the promenade.  i tried to make it bell-like by giving accents here and there not always on the same note or main downbeat.

also, i was attempting - but not very well - to start softly and gradually move louder and louder as though someone were approaching the gate and ending up going through it into the city.  (even if it was only a picture).
