lovely
I really like this. I feel like it tells a sad story that
somehow is about to change for the better. Perfect for a
film score, just before a turn in the story. There's a point
in the latter first half where the audio kind of flickers a bit,
like... an analogue tape glitch, perhaps? It's a minor
technical note. It doesn't impair my ability to enjoy this
piece.

Thanks for the kind words, Peter. You have excellent ears--the 'glitch' is, I
think, an analogue tape crease. This piece was orginally recorded on a Fostex
4-track cassette recorder. I tried to remaster it and clean it up on the G5, but
could not eliminate that 'bump.' Glad it didn't bother you too much! And I'm
glad you find a redemptive quality in the sad tone of this 'broken' piece.

I would
Like to hear this expanded from this minimalist state into
something more.
The haunting chord changes are incredibly effective.
Nicely played with an even tone. I hear the glitch but it is
really very slight.

Broken string, or...
backfiring hammer? I heard some double attacks.

Anyway, nice mellow piece.

I just heard this on the home page player. So glad this one came up in the rotation. I missed it the first go-round -- and what a shame. This is really a beautiful and pensive little piece. Has a very "Moonlight Sonata" feel. Almost too beautiful not to sit and ponder.

I guess I could be a 'poster child' for MacJams. I joined the site on New Year's Eve 2004, after several years of not making much music at all. A long dry spell. Since then, I have posted more than 50 songs here, collaborated with some wonderful arti... [see more]
