Description
This was an experiment in loops. I liked some of the organ loops so much I wanted to see what I could do with sort of a "call and response" between an organ and the rest of the orchestra. All of the melodies in here are loops except for the sort of toccata-sounding part about 2/3 of the way through, which is me, to quote a former commenter, "trying to be Bach and failing miserably." Also the ending is just a standard faux-Baroque Picardy third chord progression that I wrote. But the rest is loops, chopped up and reorchestrated and so forth.

I missed you, and your return didn't disappoint me! This is very fun!
Quite creative... and I must admit, *your* tocatta is what I liked best
about it. I would suggest a couple things that might make it sound a
little better, though. In the intro, when the organ comes in, it sounds
slightly early on the beat to me, and, too abrupt... I would possibly
very slightly arpeggiate (roll?) the initial chord so it doesn't hit all at
once. I like the melody played by the glockenspiel & flutes and the
hand-off to the organ via timpani rolls (I wouldn't use so many
repeated cymbal hits though.) I might add a teeny bit of reverb to the
flute & other instruments, they sounded a little dry. Anyway, I only nit-
pick things if they interest me, and this is delightful, great job on this!
I also like your pipe-organic-fractal-baroque artwork, I always
envisioned the air blasting out of the pipes doing those little chaotic
vortex-swirls. I am glad to see more stuff from you... I've been patient,
ever since you wandered off, saying "Owl be Bach."
ttfn,
