New Song: KP1-6.2 SOLAR ENERGY, composed and arranged by Kevan Paul

This song is written in a traditional jazz idiom, so it reflects a style developed well by Jon Luc Ponty, Regina Carter, Charlie Bishart, and other great jazz-violinists.

The song title "Solar Energy" reflects the flow of the song, from slow sunrise, to intense noon-day sun, and final sunset. The use of the sun for our daily energy needs is available to all humans on the planet. No more excuses for not building the infrastructure to support this process. We all need to be solar-energy pioneers right now! This is my anthem to that process.

The use of the midi-converted violin melody provides the basis of the synthesizer effects. I started working on this piece in August, but it was not developing as I wanted. Yesterday, it seemed to come together, and the last violin track I used was not edited at all -- this could be considered a live performance from that perspective. No recording tricks on the violin --- that's the real deal.
