Description
As a Christmas present for my family this year, I made a photo DVD of almost 500 family photos I have scanned in over the years ranging from my great grandparents all the way to my mom's great grandchildren. To go along with the slide show, I worte several new pieces of music, each based on a theme that struck me as I was working with the photos.
This was the opening piece for the DVD. It's based on photos of and by my father during the time he was based in Alaska during World War II. The photo above is my father standing outside the barracks while stationed there.
I tried to mix a military feel with the majesty of some of the wonderful black and white photos my father took of the country while he was there.
The whole project was something I enjoyed very much. Not just getting to go through all the years and years of family memories, most of which were well before my time, but also creating the music to express how these different images made me feel. It was a very rewarding experience and a very welcome gift by my family members. I would very much recommend the idea to anyone who is interested.
