Description:
My wife's late Uncle Everest, an old timer who was an encyclopedia of commonplace knowledge, once told me that every farmer knows the sweetest honey comes from the Basswood flower.
This melody came during an early summer perambulation in my Park Slope neighborhood, when I kept passing by several flowering Basswood trees, which reminded me of the big old Basswoods I had in my back yard in Minnesota - and, also, Uncle Everest's observation.
The ending has been the sticky part. It has been re-worked multiple times. As for a genre, it seems to have an ambient buzz, so that's where I put it.
Hardware:
M-Audio Keystation 49e

smooth bass... &mdash 09/01/07 - 05:23:48 PM
like honey throughout this energetic walking song. Nice synth sounds. A well done composition! [ Reply to This ]

Yep - just trying to let the sweetness flow : >

It's a couple of busy honey bees. Really cool liquidy synth sounds you're using in here. [ Reply to This ]

Wild? Or domestic? I seem to be more of the latter these days : >
I'm thinking bees make a good Macjams metaphor. We are busy generating a buzz by flitting from song to song - often resulting in a cross-pollination. [ Reply to This ]

orchestra i mean... dont know why this reminds me of them. I like it your all over the road with the synth but in a great way! enjoyed thanks! [ Reply to This ]
One (or more) for the road &mdash 09/29/07 - 06:41:17 AM
Those "all over the road" synths probably happen because this was developed from a "street" melody : >
Basically, I'm trying to find and use synth-sounds that work emotionally ... or interestingly ... together. [ Reply to This ]
Nice one &mdash 01/04/08 - 06:45:21 AM
Sounds great in the headphones. Gives a wonderful sense of movement and lightness. Rich tones and terrific sounds. The ending as it is works for me, I have to say, although that last note is faded out a little abruptly. This is another great addition to your body of work. Sorry it took me so long to get here. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
Sorry I am late to this particular party &mdash 01/18/08 - 11:43:07 PM
Great instrumentation! This is lively and energetic, odd yet attractive notes, real winner here... an aural journey! [ Reply to This ]

Isn't wonderful and amazing the sounds you can produce with GarageBand and a M-Audio keystation! [ Reply to This ]
Maybe I'm just being picky &mdash 04/22/08 - 10:09:25 PM

Genre-picking has always been a problem for me - perhaps because I usually don't think about it until it comes time to post a song here at MacJams. I'm open to suggestions - how do you think it should be categorized? [ Reply to This ]

You have your way with virtual instruments. I'd love to hear the SPCO try this one. As always, a fan of your rockin walkin songs. [ Reply to This ]
