David Sprouse 459 Posted March 4 This is a trailer for an evil clown movie: https://davidsprouse.bandcamp.com/track/the-shadow 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidden Symmetry 998 Posted March 4 Really enjoyed that intro & ending as well as the edginess of the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noynekker 177 Posted March 4 As always, really interesting listen David . . . just the right touch of macabre. I especially like it when the clown starts smashing the cymbals randomly. (or, maybe that was you) Actually, the drum kit entrance totally took me by surprise. Is it a 1960's clown, hence the 60's organ sound ? Or, is that all part of the menace feel ? BTW, yes, I like this piece a lot ! If you hadn't mentioned "evil clown" I might have thought of it as a punk rock comedy, but definitely has a theatrical feel overall.

Writing in this genre is a little ezr than jazz (as you do) but can be emotionally compelling. :D:D Edited March 4 by David Sprouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cant always tell because I listen at such low volumes. I was trying to evoke tubular bells from *the exorcist* but instead of evil clown, I got evil clown CAR. :D:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
