Hi David, love the big band version.  Just the right amount of inflections of strangeness! Would be a great theme song for a quirky tv show or online whatever or podcast. 

Thanks for giving it another listen.  I couldn't find an audio clip of IT to incorporate,bummed.

David, this is pleasantly subversive   I only say that because I used to live in Portland, too.

Poor Portland. It's a mess. Glad you liked the piece though.

I like the sparse freeform nature. Cool.

Jw, thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to listen to my music.  I did a big band versionm that you might be interested in.

Creepy, kooky and cool indeed!!  This was 2:28 minutes of enjoyable listening.

I hope not too creepy.  I looked for some audio of *it* from addams family but couldn't find any.

There are those who follow the rules, those who break the rules, and those who make the rules.

I'll leave it to you to decide which path I think you travel.

 

Hope you don't think I'm a jack *****.  haha  Thx jesse, I'm an enormous fan of yours  (literally, I've gained 20 lbs this winter).

Had to check out the "it" and I wasn't expecting the real It ha.  The sounds are real nice, and the piece is interesting, flowing along somewhere here then there, nice job ! 

thanks for listening treesha.  *it* is one of those words like *ok* that has almost an infinite amount of meanings.

Great composition and arrangement. Good dynamic mix and sounds.

Thx makke,  I added a big band version if you're interested.  It's only 2 ' 20"

Love you brother.  Hope you're ok.  I love this.

I like the slowly evolving theme.  Was that a sitar?  Must have been fun to make.

Sorry to hear about your paws.  I know it's frustrating.  I liked the variety of sounds that you came up with over that chord progression.  Pleasant listen.

Enjoyed your song.  What library or synth did you use for steel drums?

time is right in front us all.jack c.

I'm a gree with jack.  

I thought you lived in N.O. you're in SLC now?  This is outstanding.  Always an experience listening to your music.  This kind of had a RUSH vibe (to me).

Larry, this is some serious ear candy.  You never went into a groove, instead let it float, Very nice.

David, this is a tribute to your Mother, no?

I like the way you push the norms.  All of your posts are interesting, and in a world of sameness that is refreshing.

That is a great picture of Frances by the way.

I tried to read the menu.🙂

Yes  to me mum.  Thx for listening Jesse.  The menu is from a restaurant here called *babica hen* in Lake Grove.

David, your orchestrations keep getting better and better. I like the full string version.

Thx Bapu.  Did you hear little pops and clicks?  I just listened on different headphones and I think I hear them, or I'm hallucinating.

Hi David

Sounds beautiful - what string library did you use?

Great stuff

Nigel

 

see above

Hey Philip...not derivative.  I like the chord changes.  There is one boomy frequency I think it's from the acoustic guitar.

Larry, thanks for listening to the changes.  

Loved this Makke.  I didn't understand the lyrics but i was mesmerized by the harmonies and it didn't matter.  Great work!

sounds great!  Classic songwriting style.  Good demo.

It's creepy and it's kooky!

I couldn't put my finger on it....but  I think you nailed it.

great job David...very precise, well thought out and played piece....when you have time can you advise what VST you used??  SI Strings, Kontakt, Spitfire BBC Orchestra?? 🎼🎻🎹🎶

This is all VSL.  Not sure what the reverb is.  It might be a little too wet.  Thanks for the listening and comments.

Nigel

I  imagine Uncle Fester is right around the corner?..another interesting piece from you, enjoyed it.

You bet.  My first piano teacher's name was *mr. jester*....can you imagine?

I really liked it David

Thanks bapu, that means alot coming from you.

*If you have the time...*

Frances (string quartet)

Frances (full string section)

Sounds good.

Love the elfmanesque suspense . It paints a vivid picture for me.     the interplay of synths and organic sounds is done just right.   I was waiting for an  8bit sample somewhere , maybe it's  too corny.  I enjoyed it .

 the echo on the lead sounds good.  U2 would love this.   The scary thing is Putin isn't that *old*.

Wow, BBC is amazing! This is very well thought out. Waltzes remind me of German music, they're  no slouches.  Really well done! Time to brush up on signal skills with ww3 on the way.

Pleasant enough tune, I think you captured the essence of It.

Thanks Wookie.  I think I'm going to re record this with a big band.  It's a good theme.
