thanks for the comments I am just amazed at how easily one can "blue sky" themes and get out ideas. I was never easily addicted to anything but GB . . . well, I'm sunk. I think that the Cello, which is one of my favorites lends itself well to the sorrowful themes, but in reality, this was a loop and it was really limited in how you could pitch shift it and get a melody. I am learning that good software instruments are a neccesity. Check out my latest song called Love's Fingers Fall

grand entrance Welcome to Macjams and the addictive world of GarageBand! It looks like you have a knack for arranging... good timing as you pass the motif to different instruments and build the background. Near the end you introduce some double-bass (I think) that is a bit too low in pitch, you can barely hear what note they play, but otherwise, good compelling music. ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

You're right Its not double base though, but low horns. They were overpowering on the earlier sections until I learned how to profile the volume. Now they are underwater at the ending where they could probably stand a little umph. Your idea of double bass is I think a better idea. I'll try to double the horns in that section with the bass. Someone else also suggested the church bells were too low, but I was afraid they would take over and be too chintzy instead of adding a sinister tone.

THXS! Thank you. I am both humbled and excited by this community. I haven't seen this much talent and exciting and varied music since (dare I say it) the sixties! I am also excited and challenged by the concept of creating music in this way. I have a whole lot to learn and wish I had a space where I could have the MAC, an input module, my real instruments, my condenser mike and a MIDI keyboard to really soar. For now this is the new "family" computer and our first MAC. So I guess I will have to take baby steps. Still, there's a lot to learn right here in GB.

Thanks Feter, These are all standard Garage band loops and software instruments. Of course its a bit of a challange getting the trumpets to sound like trombones and tubas but that's what you get out of the box. I am looking into getting better loops and software instruments, and a midi keyboard - playing the computer keyboard as a musical instrument is . . . well, frustrating at best. Thanks again for your inspiration and comments Check out my latest song called Love's Fingers Fall

Lovely Hi, lovely piece of music. Were it not for the electronica, I could imagine it as the theme to some great epic film of the 60s such as Spartacus. Check out my latest song called A Distant Echo of Unreason

This is nicely done. Good mix of sounds, and a solid arrangement. Dramatic and perhaps somewhat melancholy, this is a nice first post. Welcome to the neighborhood. I look forward to hearing more from you. Peace.
