. actually, i was celebrating how butterflies manage to fly so gracefully, and yet they are incredibly tough survivors the picture seemed to fit in an obscure, yet meaningful way thanks Check out my latest song called Settle

Nice piece Bill Comes on slowly but when the fantastic sounding Organ hits it get really awesome. Then i quiets back down to let the piano and cello /dbl bass do their thing and build it back up. Love the flute trills in there too. Like I said before Bill this is a nice piece of work my friend. Kudos Ed Check out my latest song called Just a little Something

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida I really liked this. Layering a series of musical ideas onto a simple repetitive pattern (ostinato) is a simple but effective approach to writing music, and you've done a very fine job here of layering on ideas that are necessarily ones the listener expects. Good ideas, and quite original ones too. I was not crazy about the second sound you use - the fuzz guitar-like sound - it somehow fit less well than the others for me. I liked the way you all the layers suddenly stop around the middle and we hear the original ostinato on its own again, and I also liked the second buildup, and the fact that it was different from the first. One thing you could try, if you're looking for other things to do with this compositional approach, is to not make all the layers line up so squarely with the original one; in other words, if your original idea is a 4-bar vamp on a major chord followed by a 4-bar vamp on it's relative minor, you could layer on ideas that don't always break down into a 4+4 pattern... maybe some could be a 3+3+2 pattern (or 3+2+3 pattern, etc.), or even a bunch of 3s (3+3+3+3...), etc. Or use mixed meters; e.g., the basic pattern is in 4/4, but some of the other layers are in 3/4. Just some ideas to play around with. Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

. it is an obstinate little ostinato isn't it? i had built up a little loop of parts and it kept growing - i meant to work on some "glue" for another project ("States") but it took on a life of its own. so i kept with what it was - doing two buildups happened since i had some rock sounds and some symphonic sounds - they each needed some play you suggest some great ideas here - i will keep these in mind as i go forward thanks Check out my latest song called Settle

That thing is modeled after a toy that I saw and used to play with in 1965. In Bangkok, Thailand in the public market a man had crafted these flying sticks... They sold for about 2 baht (like less than a cent I think back then). I had hours of fun spinning that thing and letting it fly. One day it soared up, the wind caught it and the next thing I know it sunk into a klong (water way) and there was no way I was goin in after it knowing how dirty that water was. Very cool tune Bill!

. mostly just playing the computer here - the opening keys line was played live, but it all expanded from there on GarageBand pencil mode editing. i tend to think of myself as more of a composer than a performer anyway... thank you Check out my latest song called Settle

cool This is pretty unique. Kind of reminiscent of eighties music in my opinion. then it explodes into an array of nicely put together symphonic elements. nicely done Check out my latest song called Timewave Zero

celebrating the little gizmo that not only soars by takes pictures of everything below. I think I saw a demo of that thing somewhere. Such a heroic sounding piece, Smokey! Thanks.
