David Sprouse

As always, your song writing and performances are perfect.  Why aren't you famous? :D:D

loved your cover.  Thank you to whomever took the time to find all those running scenes.  The video was great.

Hey douglas,   Your recordings are all so  well done.   I listened to the two songs following it, too.  Your songs have a jam feel to them, which I can relate to from playing in bands.  They're all just the right length, you know how to write a good song.

Hi Bjorn!  It's vsl chamber strings.  The vsl chamber library is really easy to work with.  I remixed and took out the ocean sounds, they really bugged me for some reason.   I'm using five articulations here  long, short, tremelo, and med. short.  and port.It's spaces reverb...The piano piece is more of a barcarole  feel but 3/8 instead of 6/8.  I took alot of liberties with it.  Thank you for taking the time to listen. 

I can't believe this is all midi.  Sounds fantastic.   

Douglas,  thank you for taking the time to listen to this piece.  It is a little obscure, although during albeniz's lifetime I believe it was popular.   Julian Bream is  One of my all time favorite players.  

En La Playa with ambient audio

The English version is better.

Originally, written by Albeniz for solo piano.  I took the dots from a solo guitar arrangement.  Arranged for strings.  Let me know if the ocean sounds are corny.

On the Beach

Listen'ed on headphones, it's sounds brilliant  I like the chord vamp.  It's begging for something (solo, lyrics...etc).  Great tune.

Well done David!!  I think my Irish grandmother would have liked this song!

Freddy, good to see you.  Where have you been hiding?  Thx for the kind words.

Lynn,  I try to write everything as if they're being played live, i.e. the breathing. Thx for taking the time out of your busy day to listen to my music.  

No, I been trying to get a translation.   It is a proper noun I think.

Thx Paul

I liked the unpredictable rhyming scheme.The lyrics really made me think.

Mr. Funes that is a fine rendition.  Did you learn it by ear, or did you have the manuscript?

Are you two really brothers?  I liked this  it was laid back dance music.  Not frenetic per the usual dance stuff.

killer lyrics.  enjoyed this.

I like the timbre of the higher notes they're meditative Then time slips away ( steve miller)  It has a good tempo.  I enjoyed this alot, wookie.

Thank you all for listening.  I sped it up per bjorn, and fixed some timing issues.

Here's a nice bittersweet, sunrise tune.  IT"S SHORT!  https://davidsprouse.bandcamp.com/track/mirdi-cumn

Wish you were my shrink!  Bjorn, I really like your voice alot, I don't know why you're bashful.

 Didn't know Leonard Nimoy played bass!  You guys are pros, nice one.

Great musicianship all around.   This would make a great soundtrack for a documentary about this year. ( I can't believe no one's talking about the parallels between the beginning of the last century and this one.)  Your recordings sound so pro.

This shows a lot of invention.  Your musical intuition has got(ten) very advanced.  Did you ever study composition with a teacher?

Thanks bjorn.  Be safe out there!

It's clipping alot.  The composition is wonderful, but the recording needs work.
