well - this is the first full track i have
written for few weeks - and im really enjoying it, i just
finished it less then 20 minutes ago.

its the first song from a band project i am starting with a
Flutist/Female Vocalist, a Violinist, a Guitarist, and a
Keyboard/Trumpet player (ill be writing, and playing bass)

if anyone that is online right now has a listen id be very
grateful. :)

it works for me - try copying it and adding it as a location
to your winamp playlist.

The first link worked just fine for me - downloading now
using my state of the art 28.8K modem

it sounds very correct.. very POPish at first wich im not
too in love with, towards the end i really start to like it,
the strings and the flute is very nice, a bit RPG gameish
and a bit Chineesish =D

i think the bass and guitars could be a bit paned.. maybe
some chorus on the guitar and hmm dunno something to make
the bass sound fater.

overall the song is nice, it works well

i wrote it to be played by actual people on actual
instruments, so i didnt do anything production wise on this
mp3

but thanks for listening

(btw, its in a C# Major pentatonic with the flute part
working around an F Minor pentatonic, which is probably what
you are thinking is the "chinese" sound)

=) sry if i sounded negative, it sounded well written!

notes chords harmony and so on.. have not learned it all
inside out yet but it's coming.

good day!

Very nice, Ronnie; I look forward to hearing an mp3 of it
"live" - I trust that is on the cards?

btw - are you sure that the pentatonic has major and minor?
I'm sure it is C# Pentatonic rather than C# Major Pentatonic
:)

well - i referred to it as a C# Major Pent. because it has a
third spaced 4 semitones away from the first - unlike a
minor which has the flatted third and flatted fifth which
are present when you use the same notes starting at the F
(the third in the C# pentatonic) for the first of the
pentatonic F minor

so the C#m Pent is: C# D# F G# A#

and the F(M) Pent is F G# A# C# D#

but you probably already know that and can educate me about
some more stuff.

Nope, I wasn't aware there were major and minor versions of
the Pentatonic scale! :)

well - a pentatonic scale is usually when you just take a
normal scale and remove certain notes - the most common
minor pent removes the second, the sixth - and the most
common major pent removes the fourth and the seventh.

the fact that they are usually arranged like that allows you
to use a minor and major pentatonic together where the major
is the base and the minor's first is on the major's third.
this adds a wonderful dimension to the piece and gives the
minor melody real emotion when contrasted with the major
harmonies.

Umm I have to say I don't really like this kind of music.
Although if I did like this kind of music, then I would like
this track, as it's very well composed and overall very
nice!

yeah, the first link worked for me too. just right click and
"Save as" if you're on IE.

This is excellent, Cort. Such wonderful melody. I actually
welcome the absence of drums. But well developed melody.
This band already sounds promising.

atm it sound harsh because its computerized but having said
that it would be very good with vocal and played by actual
ppl

thanks for the positive comments guys.

i hope to record the performance(s) the band does, so you
will all get to see how things turn out.

hooray! if any of them sound merely half as good as this,
i'll buy your first album.

heheh - thanks for the kind words.

and we'll see what happens with an album, my grandpa is good
friends with a guy who runs a high-end professional
recording studio so my chances of producing something that
sounds top-notch are pretty high.

another song that i just wrote.

this one is a blues-ish song which sounds very dark.

in the actual live version, the second and fourth verses
will be accompanied by the female vocalists telling a
bone-chilling story of a soldier who dies on juno beach.
also, the last portion of the song which has the stop-time
chords and the rhythm bass will have an electric guitar
solo.

TO HEAR THEM BOTH RECORDED LIVE!

Hi, I hated it. Sorry...it's just not my sort of
thing...actually bits of it are..but most of it isn't.

I love you cort.

Hi, I have reconsidered my position regarding my opinion of
the aforementioned track. I have now decided it is a rather
pleasent RPG style romp. It would be a highly enjoyable
listen with a glass of wine and some friends around a
roaring fire accompanied by crack cocaine.

instruments! nice melodies.
