& Lyrics
The following MP3 samples are just a few very rough conceptual "works-in-progress". High-quality completed versions will be released with their respective albums when ready. Each
of these musical arrangements typically averaged 2 to 8 blissful
hours to compose and record (most but not all lyrics written prior to music).
There are currently 40 songs in the works, and more to come. Inspiration is a powerful creator... Enjoy! Music and lyrics Copyright © 1990 to present by Venus Studios and respective writers and composers The next group are preliminary instrumental recordings. We like them as-is...and they are also destined to be recorded with lyrics at a later time. "Rise And Shine" is based on a candid recording of one of Sherrilynn's piano performances. It was played with so much feeling it inspired Lee to add strings, percussion, guitar, bass, some synth and nature sounds. The result is a hauntingly beautiful arrangement. "Many Ways" incorporates two violin solos that were inspired by an ethereal violinist who showed up and showed the way... "On This Beach" is a short clip, only about a third of the actual song length. Inspired while sitting on a beach in Mexico 1992, the lyrics and musical notes were scribbled on a napkin in those moments. The original musical composition was created upon returning home on a simple 4 track Casio keyboard and recorded to cassette tape. This is the first run at re-recording since then. The arrangement hasn't changed much, just expanded through the use of better instruments. "Fearless" is an instrumental adaptation of a song written by guitarist Karen Whitham in the early 1990's. She taught Lee the piano portion, which has stayed with him all these years. In May of 2011, he was inspired to create this arrangement based on the original piano melody. "Missed" is a nicely flowing instrumental adaptation of a song written by Mike Rodriguez in March of 2010. "Adenium" is a musical composition that took less than 2 hours to create. After reading and feeling Sherri's lyrics, the music just poured out.
