Description

This is a short piece composed of 50% loops and 50% from scratch. I wasn't thinking of doing anything like this, especially something so dependent on loops (they're fun and all but not as original as I would like). The more I fooled around with this, however, the more I started to envision a colonial family eager to begin afresh somewhere out west, but must first make that journey. So I thought, "Why not?" Yeah, I know--sappy. Anyway, enjoy! Comments are certainly welcome, as I'm more of a jazzer than a classical composer.

	sweet This has a very uplifting feeling, and it builds nicely to its climax. I think you've succeeded. A very sweet piece. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

	Thanks Thank you. I really didn't think that anyone would respond, being that this tune is composed mostly of loops. I appreciate the nice words. Check out my latest song called Who We Are

	Thanks You're using the loops tastefully, so that makes it all right with me. It's not too obvious that they are loops. I'm looking forward to your comments on my latest track :-) Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

	Tastefully done Hi Ron, I don't care if you used loops or not, this composition is very tastefully done. Everything works well together, creating an atmosphere of calm and loveliness. God bless, Rick Latest submission: The Second Coming Check out my latest song called Picture of Perfection (MJRF)

	with a little attention to the mixing this would be a really cool piece of music. I too have a weird feeling about basing a song on loops, but I think what you did here was a good example of how creatively loops can be used. I am enjoying your posts very much. z Check out my latest song called All Smokey

	I am firmly pro-loop So I love hearing what people do with them. This is a really sweet piece and sounds a lot like contemporary film scoring. I could very easily see it accompanying a scene in a movie. Loops are great in my opinion as long as they add up to be more than just loops strung together, and this piece more than accomplishes that. Check out my latest song called Tango Macabre
