Just not sure how the video and subject matter are linked

I think at the time I put it together I had been hearing the argument that being gay is a choice...I guess I was trying to remind people of the fact that there are plenty of gays in the animal community too and that it's something you're born with...that and I was fascinated with the footage 😊

and btw, you’ve been busy, I am impressed and maybe even a bit envious. 

The music for some of these was done years ago (ie this one) I am just going back thru them and replacing some instruments with newer, better ones and remastering.

What drove me to do this was after stumbling across my old SoundCloud page that I haven't uploaded to in years ...and realizing they should be replaced with better versions but I can't login.

Apparently I created the account with a now defunct email address (through the website I had for the now defunct video production company I had) and so I contacted support ( about a month ago) and they had a long list of requirements before they would believe it's my account (incl a current pic of myself).

PITA but I sent everything to them and now it seems they don't want to get back with me.

I guess it's not as big of a deal nowadays because as of late I'm streaming at most music sites but I would like to freshen up the page .

Thanks for your comments Tom 😁

Thanks very much, I appreciate that!

Thank you!

I probably will do just that when I go back and replace the piano with  the new piano (Walker 1955 Steinway Concert)I bought this week...thanks for the suggestion!

another relaxing one I think 😊

Looking forward to updating this with the newly purchased piano and violin VSTs I snagged at a bargain today (details upon request)

I find this one relaxing too 😊

While I'm not gay myself, I have always felt empathy for the LGBT community...especially for the ones that feel they need to hide it from their friends and family. link to "Earth" (2007) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393597/

Here's a WIP that needs different video and the obnoxious echo at the end removed 😁

While the music is pretty much locked in suggestions on video replacement are certainly welcome!

BTW, I hired a guitar player years ago to play the guitar parts (I couldn't get the right sound with the virtual guitars I was using back then ) that was a member on the old forum.

I can't recall his name off hand but I hope he'll speak up if he sees this...I think he did a helluva job!

It's All a Game

If you ever use a solo violin you'll want to check out this sale.

I just bought it and very pleasantly surprised...it really cuts through in the mix and is super easy to use compared to the other solo violins I have.

Here's a walkthrough.

Thanks I'm hoping to make a video of it soon.

My youngest daughter (22) will be returning from New Zealand to stay with my wife and I for a few months while she works on becoming a flight attendant (she loves to travel).

I think she'll agree to act out the non-speaking role for me which would consist of her in a dark room with lighting only from a cell phone on her face to somewhere in the middle her throwing the phone against a wall (I have an old phone I no longer use that can be used for that) and then fading to black in her darkened room again while she's texting.

Only problem is I'll have to patch the wall when it's all over 😁

oops had to delete...that was supposed to be regarding There's so much more...sorry

Thank you!

Thanks bud 😊

Very Police/Sting like...I like it 😀

Hey Wookie long time no see!

Agree with others, it sounds very early Floyd (which is always good IMO)...nice, warm textures in the synths.

I really like the A section...nice textures, sounds cinematic.

I agree with others regarding the tempo change...have you tried slowing it down to the same as the A section.

It might not sound like Dance music anymore but it might be interesting and lead you in a different direction (ie soundtrack music)

I have not but I will def check him out...thanks!

Edit: I checked out John Constable...I've always found clouds majestic and almost magical, I may buy one of his prints...thanks for mentioning him!

That means a lot since I've always considered myself a crappy lyricist...this is one of the very few where the lyrics were written before the music.

The lyrics for the chorus is what suggested it be in 5/4 ...at 1st I thought 4/4 to 5/4 was too weird but then got used to it and thought it would be (as you suggested) more dramatic.

Cool, I always like Dave Mason...hope I didn't steal any of it 😁

I'm not sure where I want to go with this or how to finish it but suggestions are welcome 😁

This is something I wrote for my kids that seem to put a lot of time into staring at a phone .

Here's a piece I find relaxing

I enjoyed the humor in the video. 

I didn't want anyone to think I was too serious about all the ballroom dancing and Dancing with the Stars clip so I wanted to break it up some 😁

Thanks very much for all the kind words guys, like I say it means a lot coming from other musicians/composers than family and friends.

I love space videos and flying into canyons clips, all set to music. I've done a few of them myself using NASA images.

I do too, very cathartic for me 😊

I don't remember you from the old forum. What was your screen name back then?
