For Beany from Desiderium by Joseph Carmichael
This opening tune is one of my earliest compositions that I still play, written probably sometime around the age of 16 or 17.
‘Beany’ was the childhood nickname of my dear friend, Michelle Feldman.
Michelle was a wonderful musician, friend and all-around stellar human being, with a huge energy and a laugh you could hear from a mile away.
In particular, Michelle always loved the odd-metered tunes I would bring to her, so when she passed away unexpectedly earlier this year, it was clear that this previously nameless tune was meant for her.
Being an avid indie film and anime fan, I’d like to think she would be quite tickled by how this arrangement slowly evolved into some kind of cinematic trad-meets-J-Pop sound, all in 7/8 time, of course!
