I feel like I'm repeating myself here Steve but you really do get the emotion across in your music. Just listening closely I can pick out all the little things in the background that contribute to that emotion coming out. Very well done. -Bjorn

Too personal for me to post but I appreciate your interest David. -Bjorn

Io This is the last video of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. The video was supposed to be about Io, but I got carried away with FX in DaVinci Resolve. Omnisphere Kontakt Analog Dreams Pigments u-He Ace Thanks for listening/commenting. -Bjorn

David, hearing your beautiful song, Franny, inspired me to post my song, Memorial. -Bjorn

Gary, if you were going for a 40s crooner sound you nailed it. I love your version of White Christmas. How did you do the backing vocals? Oh and I like the snowmen too.

Calming beautiful music. Good job on this. -Bjorn

Yes! A lot of my songs turn into crap overnight. ? There's a music group where I live that plays instruments from Renaissance times, even the sackbut that David mentioned. Anyway, very nice composition, Tim. The flute and guitar play off each other well. You might be interested in an Indiginus Vst called Renaxxane which is a nylon guitar that has a Renaissance vibe to it. -Bjorn

Every time I hear a guitar tremolo lately I think of Makke. Nice comp and playing as always. -Bjorn

Sounds good, Doug. Your songs always have the professional touch to them. -Bjorn

Thanks Treesha. I do appreciate the comment. -Bjorn

Jerry, I don't know if I'll live long enough to see a word builder program work well enough to be truly useful. What you've done here is a nice workaround. It's true enough (for me especially) that it's hard to understand lyrics sung by a choir in a setting such as a church. But as I listened to your choir while following along with the printed lyrics it seemed like I was distinctly hearing every word. Nice. And excellent composition as always. -Bjorn

I added 150 orange slices by taking a survey I found in my account. Look for Survey for Slices (or something like that). Only takes 5 minutes.

Wookie, Jack, and Larry T Thanks. I appreciate the comments. -Bjorn

Very nice. Really like the bell tone of the lead instrument. -Bjorn

Sounds like a Christmas song. I like it. -Bjorn

Very mellow mood to this. Guitars sound really good. It would work well as a video soundtrack. IDK the tempo might be a tad slow? -Bjorn

Memorial This is one of the songs I wrote for my mother's memorial service 8 years ago. It accompanied a slide show that I'd put together which turned out very well. I can't watch it now without getting all blubbery. This is the original version except I ran it through Izotope Ozone and FabFilter Limiter. Thanks for listening/commenting. -Bjorn

Steve, great job on bringing out the vocal track! I love this song! Instant mood enhancer that takes me to faraway places. -Bjorn

Tim, you've caught the Celtic mood for sure. I like the instruments which work well together. I think it meanders too much, like it needs a theme to latch on to now and then. Well, just one man's opinion. -Bjorn

I can hear this used in a documentary about ancient Greece, kind of time travel music accompanied by traditional Greek instruments. Very nice composition. -Bjorn

Paul, I like the lyrics (and singing and playing) a bunch. This is a unique take on a lonely aging woman looking for friendship and maybe more. (And suggests to me how the nutty elements of humankind band together to do their thing - not talking about Susan here). I checked out some of your other songs while on SC. Wonderful music! I really liked Moonlight Flint. -Bjorn

Very nice blend of synths. The bell tone of the lead has a spacy signature to it. I noticed the low end synth (MemoryMood?) at the beginning is starting over every 5 sec or so. Not sure if that was your intention? -Bjorn

Steve, this sounds really good and I think you have a winner here, but I can't get past the vocal track being so low. Can't make out the lyrics much. -Bjorn

I posted this song about 5 years ago, maybe more. Always wanted to make a video from it and here it is. Images are from pixabay, iStock and from my photos and also from a clip art library I've had forever. The clip art images aren't all that great. Thanks for watching/commenting. -Bjorn My ancestors did it all themselves They wandered where impulse led They’d navigate by the sun and stars The cold hard ground their bed They didn’t mind the weather too much They all were a hardy bunch Whenever they got hungry They’d have a mammoth for lunch I've got digital and I go online They had their spears and arrows Feeling pretty smug about my high tech world But I've no idea how any of it works I don’t know where North is Don’t know how to start a fire I take to my bed if the power goes out ‘Cause the situation’s too dire I hunt and gather at the Safeway store My shelter is air conditioned My clothes are more for looks than warmth I love my television Bug spray, sun screen, Eddie Bauer boots, I can now venture out of my car But only if it’s sunny out there And the scenery isn’t too far. My ancestors didn’t live too long, Maybe thirty years tops At least they had their health you know ‘Til squashed by a mastodon stomp Sure I’ll live to be ninety five I’ll have fragile bones and I’ll walk real slow Moving pretty fast is my savings account It’s all going to the nursing home. Fight or flight never happens to me Except with that big dog down the street Survival instincts only come out Fighting all the traffic during rush hour If I get stranded on a desert isle And my cell phone, tablet and laptop die Then it would likely occur to me So how do you make electricity? Everything I have, everything I need Was made by someone smarter than me My ancestors did it all themselves I guess they too were smarter than me My ancestors they had it pretty rough But they made a new generation Life gets better moving up the family tree It's been a long road to you and me

Any way to get around the Spotify paywall? I use Studio One and Cakewalk. Cakewalk for all the old projects I've never finished over the years (and there are lots of them) and S1 for new stuff. -Bjorn
