noynekker Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS thanks for your generous review. Writing in this genre is a little ezr than jazz (as you do) but can be emotionally compelling. :D:D Edited March 4, 2021 by David Sprouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
