Description
This is a strange little piece. I guess it's a "lullaby" for a very crabby cat I have. She hisses and growls, but underneath is a softy. You'll hear some drum/percussion loops which sound (I hope) like a hissy, ill-tempered cat. The simple high melody that is brought in a couple of times during the piece is meant to symbolize her sweet, kitten-like meow. (Which is rather deceptive, considering her demeanor!)

About half or more of the tracks are loops. I added a simple melody (of sorts) and other tracks with my trusty keystation keyboard.

I'm not sure I'm done with this piece yet--I don't know if it's worth fussing with *too* much, but think it could use a little more work.

just an old softy
Hehehe, cats are delightfully full of personality (good and bad.) I liked this, it had enough variation to keep it interesting throughout... just as I was thinking, "hmm... about those constant bells..." you changed to minor for a moment, then switched to the funny guitar-like bridge, then back. My only critique for this is that there seemed to be a bit too much reverb in this, and it made the bells get a little smeared-together in places, not as clear as it could be... but I enjoyed your melodies, and choices of instrumentation, sweet, with a hint of carnivorous malice here and there... just like a cat. :-) And welcome to Macjams! I think you'll enjoy it here.
ttfn,

I can..
almost hear the kettle boiling on the hob as the cat stretches on the rug in front of the fire, surrounded by brasses and gleaming copper, in this bright little cottage living room. I can hear the clock ticking away too. There now....... I'm out of breath, so I'll just take my shoes of and...... z-z-z-zzzzzz LOL, Nice little tune and treatment, M

elvi
you so reminded me of my cat krystof :) i´m now so very far away from him, in the oposite hemisphere and i´m missing him so much. he doesn´t hiss and growl at me, not at all, he lets me stroke him twice or three times, but then he bites straight away or scratches my arm to bone, what a sweetie :) i have to read his mind to know how far (actually how short) i can go in my love expressing. but i love him anyway :) you really made my day elvi, what a lovely song...
