The Witch (Part III: The Forest)

Forest #1 - Day

She encounters a wolf in the woods.  Will she tell him a story?

Base track: accordion and piano. (I'm pretty sure I used a real piano).  I didn't steal from anything.  The chord structure is pretty basic.

**********************************

Forest #2 - Sick

When she returns through the woods, she finds that the dog is sickly and unresponsive.

Added instrument: keyboard on guitar setting.  It descends chromatically at an unplanned rhythmic trot.  When I was recording this, I couldn't actually hear what I was playing on the keyboard due to a temporary wiring set-up.  It seemed to line up OK, though.  This is one of my least favorite recordings, probably because it took me less than 2 minutes to put together, and I felt super-lazy and uncreative afterwards.

Forest #3 - Magic

When she returns, she finds that the woods have been transformed into a magical place.

(My artwork: the trees, the wolf, and the girl) 

Added instruments: chime sounds from my keyboard, and a free Gayageum app on my iPod. 

**********************************

**Forest #4 - Fearsome**


When she returns, she finds the woods to be a fearsome place.  The wolf is hostile.

Added instrument: keyboard on timpani setting.
