Description
This is what "Ditty," as an initial sketch, has so-far evolved into.
What you're hearing is a rendering from the open source music-scoring software, "MuseScore," rendered using the TimGM6mb.sf2 soundfont. Since this software gives only marginal ability to adjust things (putting the Marimba and the Vibes in two different sides of the room, for instance), please consider and critique the song as a piece of music, and what you're hearing as a demo, not as a recording (mixing, levels, and so on).
Also: although everything in this piece is "hand-drawn," both the drum and the bass parts are simple ... a lot of copy-and-paste here ... because I am neither a bassist nor a drummer. But I would love to hear from players of all of these instruments.
The thought behind the piece is that the two main instruments, Marimba and Vibes, are constantly "trading places" throughout. It tries to be doing something just a little bit different throughout the thing while retaining an element of repetition. Parts are melodic; parts are driven by rhythm. And there are problems... The transition to the "C"-part is, I admit, rather abrupt right now, just dropping right into the bass solo without any preamble.
I would love to hear technical critiques of the song structure and composition, as well as your general impressions. Point to the "hh:mm" of particular things you're specifically referring to so I can find them.

the eagerly awaited mikerobinson first song. so they finally let you in then....i wonder what they were deliberating over - there's definitely nobody else on here like you as far as i can make out. maybe that's what took them so long.....mob mentality 'n' all that. this isn't at all what i was expecting....i thought you'd be one of those rock dudes. this is quirky and camp. technically i think it would be interesting to hear it done by real instruments, but even in its current form it's got its own style going on. don't sell it? ok....promise :)
