Greetings Magix community,

I am having lots of enjoyment in creating, performing, and producing this new piece 'The Fisherman'.

The music is intended to be a epic ballad as a tribute to fisherman. The music mood and style is what I feel is similar to the sound of theater scores that would have been created and performed in the 50s and early 60s.

There are the ethereal yet powerful vocals, the strings, and a solo basic brass element. Many my feel that such a song would be more gentle and relaxed as fishing on a smooth lake on a sunny day. But this piece is meant to be something similar to the well know story of 'The Old Man And The Sea'. Someone who is facing the great expanse of the sea with determination. And even someone fishing to relax and be with nature would perhaps be imagining being in the great expanse of the sea of life. And to those fisherman who do face the daily challenge and even dangers out at sea to bring us and their families the food on our tables, may this 'The Fisherman' piece be a tribute to them ;)

I created, performed and produced this piece primarily with my own studio resources but I did make use of Magix Music Maker to add a touch of 'silk' with a Magix loop in one of the segments of the song.

Enjoy and my best to you,

Mark ;)
