Hey Oh, and as far as classifying this tune goes, Latin is out. I hate to say it but electronic/dance is most appropriate. Perhaps ambient electronica. Check out my latest song called Wake Up (Pooey Remix)

Hey Thanks very much for the input...yes, I'll check out the bass minor against the piano major. What a great forum. So often I feel like I'm working in a vacuum...my family doesn't "get it" if you know what I mean. --- God gave you talents for a reason: Use them for others!

I dug it Take a little bit of Sting (circa 1995) a smidge of simply red, a fair amount of Lalo Schiffrin and a huge dollop of the Propellorheads and you have ... cool :-) Check out my latest song called Kaleidoscope (Single)

would love to work out to this I like the old school dirty organ sounds you're getting - sort of Stevie Wonder Songs In the Key of Life... nice groove and meshes well with the rhythm. the piano bit is splendid, really tasteful. What really stands out is how you blended together all the rhythm loops and separated them in the mix -- everything is very cohesive, yet has it's own spot. Would love to hear some vocals in here. There are some great hooks ou could really buld a funky song around. Check out my latest song called Let Me In (Again)

Great for running... At 48 frames per second, heh! Got that slower speed thing happening. As your first post with a loops based song, I foresee great things to come from you (am I some kinda' Jedi now?). Definitely exposes strong musical sensibilities, in my opinion... Look forward to more Check out my latest song called With You

Great for running... Thanks for your kind words.....I have lots of cool stuff in the works and just can't seem to lay it down fast enough....then there's the mixing thing, and balance....I am going to work on vocals though as I can sing but have to strengthen the voice....too many instruments, not enough time! As far as running...heh, a 5 minute warm up and get that heart rate up in the zone! This is such a great forum...you all are very helpful! --- You've been given talent for a reason...touch a soul.

not a bad tune... ....pretty good, actually. The piano really holds it all together well. The only thing I didn't like was the background techno-synth sounds. It seemed like an unnecessary decorative element just thrown in for the hell of it. Keep making tunes, though! Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

full of life.. regardless of how you made it. a really incredible mix of instruments, there always seemed to be something new coming along. the guitar & percussive accents are just perfect. lookin forward to the next one oh, i don't think this falls under 'ambient elec', but i can't think of another genre for it. maybe someone can offer some help..

Very nice I think this is excellent. It certainly does stay interesting all the way through. There's a lot going on, but I think that's where it gets its energy from. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

Groovin' I like how this piece 'goes somewhere.' The pacing, the interest in the different layers of sounds. Great piano contrasting with the more 'busy' instrumentals in the background. You have a good ear for balance, tempo, and overall composition. Looking forward to hearing more! :) Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

Keeps the chicken funky! A fantastic mixture of sounds and styles. You've got a real ear for layering and ordering the sounds in a way that works very well. My only negative point would be that it maybe goes on for just a little too long and then ends weakly. I notice that many Mac Jammers have problems with endings and this is a typical example. It just sort of fades out for no particular reason. Otherwise, a great first piece. Keep them coming. Sorted! Check out my latest song called Fiddler Off the Roof w/Komrade K & Caroline

Excellent Mix of sounds/loops and keyboard playing - well done. |

The problem with loops is that you can only string so many of them together before the listener wonders "when is the intro going to end?". I see in your later tracks that you're actually writing songs with loops. But even this shows that you know how to blend stuff together. Good production.

funkin delicate. I like the loops you chose. I like the clavs and the piano phrasings, they fit so well. Nice balance of raw sound meets delicate feeling. It even sounded good on my ibook speakers. That's saying alot. I can't wait to hear it with the cans. Good driving tune. 45 mph, would envoke the right tempo sycronization i think. It's nice and steady, without sounding repetitive. Stays fresh. Exciting. Equally well produced and performed. Can't think of any immediate areas of improvement, especially with these speakers. But I'll let you know if you ask. Great tune....from the tuner. Check out my latest song called Five Pound Samwitch

Very Interesting This is a very cool song! I like the mix that you did with the rock power cords in the background towards the start of the song and how you mixed it in with piano, and every once in a while you cut out the drums, and it made for an interesting mix!

Great mix of loops and live playing. Nice touch on the
keys. This piece does come very close to having too many
different motifs. Like that first melody on the piano--I
liked the sound of it, but before it could really develop or
sink in, it was gone.
But that piano playing throughout is tasty. Doubles with
the strings--nice. Lots of nice sounds.
There is one spot just before the midway point where a
piano loop is playing a major third against the bass' minor
third. I'd suggest changing that with the edit window.
For as long as the piece is, it kept my attention and was
nice to listen to. High quality stuff for a first submission.
Keep 'em coming!
