	Chamber music Has a medievial feel to this, I wish you would more in this vein,

	. i got a few other unfinished projects with similar things in them. maybe they will get finished someday... thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	It's time for a new genre don't you think? I vote for Smokeyphonic. I've heard many fine examples of the genre lately and would be proud to work in that vein. Check out my latest song called ditto

	. i have unfortunately been using Other quite often, and it feels like a cheat. for the really strange stuff, there is always Experimental. someone here mentioned the idea of "genre clouds" where you could claim a song has for example 35% Medieval and 65% Trance. that would suit me fine. thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	2007 to 2008 Never before I heard a song that starts out madrigal and becomes disco somehow. I sense a core sadness here. Don't worry. It will all work out. Check out my latest song called Circling Circling

	. gee, i thought this was rather upbeat actually. thank you Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Wow! I love the way you move styles in this. Medieval to trance. Excellent :-) Cheers Dick Check out my latest song called Not For The Likes of You

	. while was developing this at one point i had a stack of layers with the medieval and trance stuff all playing together all at once. in the process of mixing/arranging they got mostly separated again - the oboe part never actually plays over most of the trance components in the final mix. thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Love the way this builds so skillfully as you say from desperation to ecstasy. Cheers Len Check out my latest song called B E A U T I F U L

	. it also falls back to desperation at the end. maybe this is a story: 1. early Saturday evening. lonely person alone at home. 2. friends drop by. they all go out to party at the disco. 3. early Sunday morning. lonely person alone at home. thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	time travel from the dark ages to the bright strobing disco lights. nice reprise at the end. really cool idea to blend two different musical styles. works for me! Check out my latest song called Darkest Skies

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 1961 days ago (January 6th, 2008)
	. glad you liked it! i picture disco lights too thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	genius one minute I'm with my maiden faire on a white horse in a moor, the next: I'm tearing off my shirt and getting sweaty in a club. i love how you just make up your own rules. this sounds great. Check out my latest song called yes you told me (that you're cynical)

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 1966 days ago (December 31st, 2007)
	rules so cool - that we can each expose a bit of our souls - in this medium called music this tune is my current auto-fave (is that immoral?) i just really really needed to hear this thing - that is what is great, so great about GB - you can create your aural fantasies with it thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Dude are you Cutin some records in here or is that a loop . Very interesting and fascinating journey you take us on Smoke V-Dub . I really like the bass and the way the sounds are all playing together . Great choir sound as well ! How did you get the choir sound to sound so good ? ...Nice ! Check out my latest song called Sweeter no doubt (Beat by Sweet 79)

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 1966 days ago (December 31st, 2007)
	. happy new year this is one of the most loop-free things i've done. just two GB loops in here i think - a drum loop and a guitar loop. i have been slowly but surely getting away from the loops and doing my own thing... all my best for the new year Check out my latest song called RUOK

Dj French Toast	Dj French Toast said 1966 days ago (December 31st, 2007)
	Well are you scratchin a record in there ? Sounds cool man! Check out my latest song called Sweeter no doubt (Beat by Sweet 79)

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 1963 days ago (January 3rd, 2008)
	. no, no. no scratching by me. one of the drum kits in the GB remix jampack has a bunch of scratching samples and vocals in it. i used that. it's kinda funny what it sounds like he's saying in there - but it's only the mix of "Oh" and a cymbal and a click sound :-) thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

	Wow!! This is what I called an awesome tune! So much creativity going on. You did an excellent job bringing it all together. Really enjoyed this. Check out my latest song called Ed - Forever in our hearts

SmokeyVW	SmokeyVW said 1961 days ago (January 6th, 2008)
	. i had lots of fun mixing this one - especially when everything just sort of snapped into place while i was working on the final pacing of when to bring in each part. thank you Check out my latest song called RUOK

This is NOT 'Other'...
...and it's NOT strange or anything like strange...

What it is, is simple, with a very pretty and singable melody... If it had words, it could be anything it wanted to be, from a folk song to a choral piece...

Okay, I raise an eyebrow when the handclaps come in, but I really like the way the bass arrives, and a like the arpeggiating piano there toward the middle...

Has a bit of that Pachelbel Canon-ish "hey, we could play this forever" sort of feeling, which places it squarely on the musical map between 'classical' and 'jam band'...

Nice to come back to the melody at the end...

This would be fun to play guitar over...

	. i don't think this particular song is strange (it would have gone to Experimental in that case) however, what genre do you suppose it is? i couldn't decide, so it got Other. thanks for dropping by! Check out my latest song called RUOK
