I Couldn't Make This Up If I Tried

Here’s a press release for a new CD release from a guy who sent me a music submission:

New Age Equestrian

TRAVERSE CITY, MI March 21, 2007 -- Whatever the genre--classical, rock, blues, country -- one thing all music has in common is the audience: human beings. TJ Martin's new CD is a bit different. 'The Judge at E' is not only for people, but for horses. It is music for dressage (rhymes with massage). Martin was a devotee of the sport which has been called equine ballet for the movements demanded of horse and rider. But one thing always bothered him: the clumsy segues between the pieces of music that were adapted for the event. "I thought I could eliminate that by having original music", he said. So that's what he set out to do. With a 15 piece ensemble including saxophone, flute, trumpet, keyboards, percussion and his guitar, he composed seven pieces of music. Not only were they meant for dressage, the pieces were composed specifically for individual riders and their mounts, though for the most part they could be adapted for others. "The recording session was done very differently. TJ sat in front of a video (of the horse and rider performing) playing his guitar", said John Knight, owner of Full Circle Recording Studio where the project was recorded.
