bjornpdx 702 Posted June 6, 2020 Crows, Van Gogh and Kafka. Just sitting here listening and pondering. Nice instrumental David. Kind of an interlude piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Douglas Kirby 601 Posted June 6, 2020 That's a cool short composition - you should do a lengthier version. What sound library did you use there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Douglas, this is ***** by spitfire (alternatve solo strings) it's a great library. When I listened to it again this morning, I agree with you it should be longer. Thanks for your time :D:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeeringAmps 927 Posted June 6, 2020 I think I've mentioned this before, for some reason some of your pieces remind me of the soundtrack to Yellow Submarine. I hope you'll take that as a compliment. As to Kafka, I guess all my taste is in my mouth. Some of the "great" 20th century novelists leave me cold. Salinger, Perfect Day for Banana Fish, really? He wrote ***** in Catcher, BFD. Maybe I've been cooped up to long? Ya think? tom off to curl up on the couch with some good 'ol pulp fiction; I won't have to think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if you've read nine stories...then you're way cool. He was a friend of my Grandmother's. 6 degrees...y'know. Also, if teddy died (dode?) it was a heroes death.

PhonoBrainer 1,265 Posted June 7, 2020 Yes, I agree, longer! I really like the originality you bring to every piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 1,079 Posted June 7, 2020 I liked but not enough to really get into @David Sprouse, more pretty please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leadfoot 132 Posted June 7, 2020 Very nice, David! I come from a classical background, so I really appreciate a good orchestral tune. It was short, as you noted, but you packed a lot into that 1:14. Very complex, dissonant at times, but beautiful. Nicely done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynn Wilson 520 Posted June 7, 2020 What the? That not only was short, but sweet, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Sprouse 486 Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) So I added a middle section, but it clips on some speakers and not others. What should I do? Also, the little tune in the middle is Segovia's estudio sin luz. (study without light, I thought it was apropos of crows) Thank you Tom and Wookie for listening and the suggestions.

Lynn, I get better reviews here the shorter the piece. :D:D The middle section I added reminds me of dorothy in the tornado. Crows are so confusing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
