Inside The Music
Dave's popular audio-visual Inside The Music music articles explain the inner workings of Stewart / Gaskin songs, including transcriptions of keyboard parts, vocal harmonies, guitar chords and drum parts. Originally published online and now available as downloadable eBooks, the articles contain notation, audio clips, lyrics, photos, extensive song and recording notes, musical insights and autobiographical details from the composer. Barbara Gaskin and guitarist Beren Matthews also contribute comments.
The Inside The Music online series began in 2009 with a deconstruction of the Stewart / Gaskin song 'Jupiter Rising'. The series resumed in 2020 with a new collection of songs from the duo's Star Clocks album, along with a lavish deconstruction of the epic 'New Jerusalem' containing drum parts and notes by Gavin Harrison. Beren Matthews also contributed guitar videos. The 2020 articles are now available in Inside The Music Volume 3, which includes a hitherto unpublished article on 'Ride the High Atlantic Wind'. A fascinating, engagingly written glimpse into the unique musical mind of one of the UK's most respected keyboardists and composers.
