RE:Nice vibe Thanks for being the first to comment on the piece and thanks for listening. This is an early piece that I did in GB. Originally the guitar carried the whole melody with the organ just as backing instrument but when I split the melody into a call and response the track began to really work for me and I developed it along those lines. About dynamic range...I wanted an overall smooth feel to this piece so a lot of dynamic shifts wouldn't feel right to me. Or maybe I've spent too long listening to commercial production music where a big dynamic range really doesn't work very well. I've posted another song called "Walking on the moon" that you might like as well and more will be posted soon. Thanks for your kind comments.

krazy kool I was there in that very same Koffee shop, Man, if you did this with loops in GB, thats impressive as hell. Just a choice collection of sounds masterfully spliced together. the beck and call nature of the arrangement, along with the progression works seamlessly throughout. keep em coming. that one "oooahhmmm" repeating at the end was dialed into my own private TM signal.

RE: krazy kool Thanks for the kind words. Loops in GB is all I used. I love to take some of the Midi loops and see what I can do with them by changing instruments, and playing with the velocity, the chord structure, sustain, etc to come up with something interesting. I'm glad you like it. Check out my other cuts uploaded soon. Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

Sounds Good Mr. Brophy your BIO states you have no musical experience? Is that true? Sounds like you can put it together to me. I liked this tune and I can picture myself in the café as you describe. I wonder did you learn much from your father musically? I have a 13 year old son and we like to play guitar together and I hope some of my music ability rubs off. We%u2019ll have to wait and see. Nice job and welcome to MacJams. Thanks for sharing. mvh: ) Check out my latest song called Maggie Rodriguez tribute

Sounds Good Thanks for your comments. Can't PLAY a note, but I guess that being around music all my life ... even before I was born ... may have given me more than the average love of the art. Your talk of playing guitar with your son brings back one of my biggest dissapointments as a kid. I had to tell my dad that I did not want to take any more music lessons. I don't know if it hurt him, but it hurt me to admit it. I sent him a CD of some of my GB jams and he liked them. He even said that Mozart was great at taking other peoples riffs and making a piece of of them. So, maybe 43 years after dissapointing him (and myself), I've redeemed myself. Hope you have fun playing with your son. Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

Yeah... I used many ofd these loops, but not as an Organ. Sounds really cool like this. What amazes me after 2 years of playing with GB is how someone else can take the same loops and take it to their own place. Awesome! Check out my latest song called Sweet Smell Of Success

RE:Yeah... I agree that using the loops in different ways with different instruments is fun and it makes listening to other people's work interesting as well. Kind of like having sex with a different person. It is somehow the same ... but somehow different as well. Since I have been married for more than 30 years (and faithful) I have made the previous statement not from firsthand experience but from what I imagine. ;-) Thanks for your comments and keep listening.

Some surprising key changes kept me interested. I like the mix of sounds you're using here. Are you playing the organ yourself? I really enjoyed the performance.
I think the piece could use a little dynamic variety. It sounded like it was pretty much all at one level throughout, which gave it a little bit of a computery sound. I hope that makes sense.
