Mikey D! Hey! Glad you liked it! The two spots where the notes "clash" was put in there on purpose. :P I know.....It sounds odd, but the word cacophony, refers to sound that is harsh and unpleasant-sounding. Kind of weird, but I thought I'd thow this one out there. Thanks so much for stopping by, Mike! Much appreciated! Talk to ya' later, my friend! Take care! -Richard --- Boris Luxx Check out my latest song called Copperhead

You have to look into your dictionary !-) This beautiful tune is no cacophony at all :D I liked the kind of dark mood and the way you evolve the melody. (I wish I could do it like that :)) Check out my latest song called Rain Rain [vox/ Linda Courtien]

Consonant-al drift... Yes, there's a little bit of dissonance in there, or at least unexpected chords, bute they are well placed and appropriate, and overall this siren sings and calls like the darkwave diva I adore. Really tastefully placed percussion, your typical longing music. Too much melodic structure and percussive beat to be ambient, but MJ still doesn't have "darkwave" genre (which this is closest to), so ambient is OK for now :-) No real critiques, other than a good twisted/broken love tale draped over this would be even better. Hmm... Nice nice work, you have much talent here! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Dark Wave Diva! Hey, Drak! What do you think of me changing my name here at MacJams to Dark Wave Diva? Catchy! Hmmmmm...... Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by to have a listen at my latest track. I wasn't sure if I should leave it the way it was or make it disonent. I chose the latter. I'm still not sure about it though. It does have a longing feel to it. Much like my mood has been lately. :-( But on a more positive note; this was a fun track to write. I got stumped at the 45 second mark.....I had started this last night and finished it up this morning. At least I got all of the major stuff done before I passed out and forgot my ideas. :-P Which often happens. So......does this one get 5 out of 5 Luxx's? Hehe! Take care Drak and I'll talk to you soon! Peace, my friend! -Richard --- Boris Luxx Check out my latest song called Copperhead

Gimmie good Luxx! I completely forgot about the luxxes, I'm so "dim" lately, and they were burning a hole (note) in my pocket even! "Hear" you go, 5-5 Luxxes! Yes, this one gets downloaded to my iLuxxomaticon! And a teeny bit of dissonance goes a long way, I don't think you need it here, the strange chord progression is good enough fo me... but then, I'm still recovering from my daughter's screamo-punk music this weekend, so I needed these strong harmonic washes of dark beauty, thanks! ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/23351">Sometimes - Magic Flute mix</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

iLuxx.... Haha! Thanks Drak! I'll keep trying to crank out more dark stuff to help you recover. ;-) If you'd like, I can send you a non-dissonant version, just to see which one you fancy better. Take care Drak and thanks for all the Luxxs! -Richard --- Boris Luxx Check out my latest song called Copperhead

No jarring electronica here! The title made me expect some jarring electronic experience, but instead there's this warm, melodic and thoughtful piece - in fact I found it very positive and uplifting (except for the odd dark melody line here and there and the minor notes already mentioned, which worked well to bring the mind back to listening). I can see this as a soundtrack piece for a wide range of movies - very nicely done! Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

No jarring - Guaranteed! :-) Hello jiguma! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments on this track. Like I told Drak; I'm still not sure if I want to keep the disonant notes in there or not. It hit me in a good way at first, but now listening to it several times, it makes me cringe in anticipation, because I know it's coming. Weird, I know..... but I do. Thanks again for your thoughtful comments, Neil! Take care! Peace! -Boris Luxx --- Boris Luxx Check out my latest song called Copperhead

cinematic with ambience to spare. Love the choice of sounds. Deeply melodic with a wonderful percussive cadence. The synth sounds are freakin great. Are they soft synth sounds? the whole piece seems to dance and swirl in my imagination. I see planetarium credits here. awesome Check out my latest song called off the deck (w/Z293)

Sorry KTB! I didn't fully answer you. The sounds are indeed soft synth sounds. I used a combination of GarageBand 3, Albino 3 and Octopus sounds. You can download the demo versions of Albino and Octopus. Thanks again! Take care! Peace! -Boris Luxx --- Boris Luxx Check out my latest song called Copperhead

Floating in Time This song reminds my of a ride on a magical dragon through the travels of space and time. I liked how it seems to weave in and out. I am studying keyboard on my own right now, can/t wait until I can wip up a tune like this in one day. Good stuff man. _K2 Check out my latest song called Internal Excellence

Space & Time.... Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! I really know nothing about music, to be honest with you. I took piano lessons for about a month when I was about 11 years old, and my teacher said I was wasting my time. Well, at the time, I felt like I was wasting my time too, because I didnt want to keep playing the kiddy tunes forever. I just pluck around on the keys and layer sounds until they sound good to my ear. I guess I have always had a certain knack for being able to get by not knowing much about music. I dont think my music would be what it is, if I knew a lot about how to do things. I kind of do the musical version of the "hunt-and-peck" method of typing. :-) Crazy, I know, but I manage to crank things out. I imagine if I had more musical background and knowledge, I wouldn't hit the crazy road-blocks I seem to encounter frequently. Good luck on your keys and take care! Thanks for stopping by and your comments are greatly appreciated! Thank you! Peace! -Boris Luxx --- Boris Luxx Check out my latest song called Copperhead

Fluid dreaming Peaceful and wonderful. I really like your insides of a grand image song art. Please send me a note if that is an image of yours; I'd like to use it if you have a hi res version (minus your name, etc!) Thanks. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

Image... Hello Tobin! I'm glad you stopped by. The image above, I actually got off the web. It was a pretty discoloured and grainy picture to start off with, but I dropped it in PhotoShop and made some "artistic" adjustments. If I remember correctly, it was something that someone had posted on flikr. I just did a search for broken pianos. :P Crazy, but this came up. As far as the resolution goes, it was pretty small and very low res. I'm thinking the original was approx. 5 x 7??? Anyway, I'm glad you liked it! Take care, Tobin! Peace! Thanks for being a fan too! :-) -Boris Luxx --- Boris Luxx Check out my latest song called Copperhead

Pretty euphonius if you ask me. Beats me why you called this "cacophony". It's a quite pleasant sounding and relaxing tune. Simple chords, and pretty sounds over them. Understated rhyhtm; altogether quite enjoyable. -- Victor. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

Again (sorry going backward with your songs here) This is another very nice production and mix with nice melodies and arrangements that keeps you stuck. This song has influences of course, no need to mention them; this stands on it's own. Good work! /M Check out my latest song called Fairyland (Satumaa)

Title fitting?! I don't think this is a cacophony at all. The sounds blend well, so I don't see--hear rather, a disaggrement in the sounds. Perhaps you were being too hard on yourself at the time. Nice job. Check out my latest song called Defrost ~The Process~

Very nice! For me, this is right up there with your "She Comes in Black"
song. I like how this song starts out- really sets the mood. The only thing
that sounded odd to me was the two places where you have a few minor
notes thrown in. It didn't sound quite right to me- but you have to
remember I'm still learning how to play piano. The mix sounds great as
usual. Very cool for sure!
