Tiny Tin Penguin Parade

Description

My entry for round two of Loop It or Lose It. I believe I followed the rules this time, although as usual the mix is kind of rough.

The title pretty much says it all about this piece, I think. I don't even know what category to put it in...polka, maybe?

	how cute Love the visualization of this. This would be so outstanding for a film on penguins. I really adore the pic as well. Nice job, I always know I am in for a musical treat when Magritte posts a new one! Thanks for the listen! Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

	First off, great title! OMG! How did you hear "oom-pa" in that loop! How great is this! This could be dropped right into a soundtrack - maybe one of the old Danny Kaye movies. Charming and nostalgic. The fife was a great choice, as was the ratchet. I don't know how you conceived this approach, but you really nailed it! Check out my latest song called Loop It or Lose It 9

	The Real Ucello Magico deputydoofy stole the title for his entry. Funny while very smart exercice. I love the delicate work on percussions and the mischievious use of the flute. Quel talent ! Check out my latest song called Funkaboka

Outstanding!
I am SO bummed that downloads are disabled at the moment. This would have immediately gone right on the Christmas playlist that's playing in my living room upstairs!

Excellent, fun, wonderful and I'd mention Danny Kaye, too, but he makes me feel swoony and I'm not that lucid when it comes to him. This reminds me of the Doll on a Music Box sequence in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which is one of my favorite scenes in any movie, ever.

Congrats on such a great job and happy piece of music.

	Very cute fun piece You did such a good job with this. It's really sweet and very upbeat. It reminds me of an old Walt Disney cartoon, where the toys all march into Santa's sack. I gotta pull that out one of these days. Great choices for instrumentation and tempo. Check out my latest song called What a Friend We Have in Jesus

	Tres Magritte-fique! As always, your talented creations put a smile on my face... really splendid way of contorting the loop into a delightful "toy-suite". It's actually tough to orchestrate something like this to sound cute and toy-ish, you did a brilliant job here! Brava! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Thanks everyone!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the piece. It was a lot of fun to put together after two failed concepts. Basically I wanted to do something very different from my LIOLI #1 entry, and also something that wasn't immediately obvious from the loop itself. That led me to "happy" and "bells." Which, of course, led to penguins, as do most things eventually.

LIOLI is fast becoming my favorite thing to participate in at MacJams. Thank you all for your entertaining and very kind comments on my entry.

	Fantastic Excellent little tune brilliantly realised - and to think it sprung from one fairly dodgy loop. Seriously well done KK Check out my latest song called Ye Mariners All

Past LIfe
I have to know something. Were you a carousel operator in your past life or something? This is absolutely cute and full of youthful energy. But, unfortunately, as with some of your other songs, it is WAY TOO SHORT. That's actually a compliment. We want to hear more of this. I was just about to leap from my chair and do my little penguin jig, when the music suddenly stopped. I disagree with you, by the way: I think the mix is perfect right where it's at. You have a real knack for this kind of music. I'll look forward to hearing more stuff like this from you.
