PhonoBrainer Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) many thanks for the listens . . . and much obliged for any comments. Edited February 18, 2020 by emeraldsoul 4
garybrun Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Well I wasn't expecting that. I thought it was really good and different for sure. What was the instrument that sound like someone putting their finger in their mouth and popping the cheek? There are a few pops and clicks... is that intentional? Gonna give it another listen.

Jesse Screed Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 very creative I definitely like the stretch I don't mind the rabbits, in fact, I bet you have lots of rabbits, and you only let them out when you feel like it. The piano at the end is fine for me. Send in the rabbits I say! We need more rabbits, there are not enough rabbits. 1
DeeringAmps Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 And now for something entirely different 10 hours ago, garybrun said: Well I wasn't expecting that ditto! Kudos, this was great. Some very interesting use of dissonance in section 1 (perhaps "dissonance" isn't the correct term, been watching a lot of Rick Beato and he goes on about Mixolydian Ionian Alien; whatever) but I still can't tell you that's a Bb maj 7 with a sus 2,4 in the root. Anyway, Very Cool! T 1
dcumpian Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 There's the Tom I remember! Very smooth the way you melded those two sections together. I didn't even realize it had happened at first, lol. Great work Tom! Dan
bjornpdx Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 That's a beautiful melody you're playing. I didn't expect the metronome, the jet plane, the disco beat, the whistling, or the dubstep bass, but that's okay! Piano sounds fine to me.
PhonoBrainer Posted January 19, 2020 Author Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) @bjornpdx - thanks! Welcome to the kitchen sink. It probably works better for some than for others. Appreciate the comments. @kloon - playful works for me, thanks! @dcumpian - yes sir thanks much! A video might help it even more. Welcome back! @DeeringAmps - yeah I might have got away with a couple of jazz chords in there. Hope they work ok. Thanks much and glad you liked it! @Jesse Screed- if you only knew how many damn rabbits I've got flopping around up in there. They peek out at everyone's peril! But I keep them well fed. Your observations are quite apt. Thanks! @garybrun- Thanks Gary! I'm honestly not hearing pops and clicks, unless you mean the clock/metronome at the beginning and the end? I'm going back to doublecheck. It's also a felt piano and they can have noise as well. Thanks. glad you liked it! Edited January 19, 2020 by emeraldsoul 2

Thanks. glad you liked it! I listened to it again.... no clicks? very strange... I played it a few times yesterday and clicked in the same places.... sorry about that. Clear as a whistle now. Anyway... still a great arrangement and I liked it a lot.

I updated the file from mp3 to .wav yesterday, and I did change a level or two here or there, so maybe you heard the previous. No you are not going cuckoo! Thanks for the comments . . . 1
Douglas Kirby Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 To me - this is a composition that leads to contemplation in the first half - interesting. The sort of thing where you ask yourself - where am I going, what am I doing - that sort of thing. The second half of the song is more of a party - bartender - I'll have another. I thought the mix was top-notch - I don't think the piano is too soft going out - I think it's just right. Nice job emerald? 1
Hidden Symmetry Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Nice one Gary, lots of interesting intersections, the mix sounds fine here. Enjoyed it. Strange, I went to listen to it again & it's gone now..Maybe you just removed it?
geeare1 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Very nice! Lots of different moods & textures to keep people with short attention spans, like me, engaged. The piano at the end isn't too soft to me, in fact the overall mix is great.
David Sprouse Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Love the whistles and the belly dancer bells.

I checked on the file on Soundcloud and it's there, so perhaps the cloud coughed up a hairball. cheers H.S. !
PhonoBrainer Posted January 22, 2020 Author Posted January 22, 2020 @geeare1 - thanks for the mix comment, and yes there are a few mood swings swinging fairly quickly in this one. Appreciate the listen and the time . .. @David Sprouse - yes those bells kind of grab the ear and cleanse the palate. I didn't really fuss with them at all, a happy accident. Many thanks . . .
noynekker Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Quite the musical journey . . . kind of a piano tango, which momentarily goes Copacabana, and eventually morphs into EDM, then, was that a hint of new age disco ? . . . and all along the ride a grab bag of interesting sounds, and jazzy chords. There's so much here that I enjoyed. I especially like the piano intro, where you change it up on every phrase, just slightly enough . . . very well played ! Overall, it's got a very eclectic flavor to it . . . so, I'm thinking now, whatever will he come up with next ? 2

thegaltieribrothers Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Hi Tom, Great mixture of tune and sound textures here and I marvel at your skills to combine them subtly and with flair. Thanks for sharing. Good Job! regards paul 1
