Song Description

Built entirely out of apple loops. But that's OK. Really.

Bipolar transistors. Mountain View. Ideas flow like a cool mountain stream. Innovation is in my blood. Circuits oscillate between full on and full off. Silicon Valley. Cyclomatic complexity. The old tried and true ASICs. Handheld devices. Cyclotronic particles invading brains. Transient analysis. Can we care again? New ideas take the field. And on it goes.


(mountain / valley)

saturday late afternoon
we're high on the mountain again

and we ponder

it's so easy up here
to look down upon the world

and talk about the big picture
what it all means

until the sun goes down

and of course we too
get down

when the sky has gone dark
and the stars nearly blind us

swerving down that
curving road to the valley

and we revel

in our village
in our pub
in our friends

then we muddle
through our weeks
and do it again

'til next saturday

late

afternoon

Really all GB loops? &mdash 07/19/06 - 02:16:59 PM
You create a smooth mix with more variety that I would have expected
with the loops. ...I think I will poke around in the loops some more.

i do have a suggestion: use the software instruments. that way you can teak the
notes easily to make it your own...

i'll be looking for your songs!
