Song Description

I was experimenting with the tape echo effect here. The echoing farfisa morphs from a short motif into an even briefer three-note pingponging repeating echo. I took care to use notes from actual guitar chords, and sequenced the strumming. I was experimenting with the amp simulator in this. This whole song is built out of late 60's chords and melody snippets. But they're bent into 7/4 time.

Nice experiment &mdash 06/23/06 - 10:38:30 PM
This makes me think that I would have enjoyed the sixties - Definitely
a groovy little ditty - You're such a natural at this music making thing
that it makes me wonder who you really are... - You kinda get the
impression that you're just playing around and creating music, but it
also sounds as if you've mastered the art of just playing around and
creating music... I've yet to be disappointed w/ what comes out of your
sandbox - Great stuff! Thanks! Dion

Very well put together and use of instrumentation. I like this one Smokey. Congrats on the movie. It is a nice feeling to actually hear your music on TV.

Nice work - Thanks for sharing,

oops. it appears i never replied to anyone's comments on this song...

THANKS for dropping by on an "old" song of mine.

i'm really psyched about having some of my tunes in a movie. it's fun for me too to hear them on "Carpool." maybe i'll be invited to help on another Mad Ned production.

drop them a note on YouTube - they'd love to hear from you.
