This is something I programmed last night, upon my girlfriend's computer. It is called Interior I, because its true title is too pretentious. It can be viewed somewhat as a companion piece to The Infant Clockwork Icebergs of Antarctica, and I may extend it. It is 1m01s.
INTERIOR I
Please Enjoy Responding!

I'm beginning to regret typing spam backwards - people must believe this to be a cartography-based thread, and are staying away!

i actually did think it was about maps for some reason, and i was a bit surprised to find no map at all. i'm going to listen to your song now.

the string sounds have a really cinematic quality - i like them a lot. i also really dig the arpeggios that are going on... it's musically well-done, i think. i might have turned the piano down a tiny bit in the mix.
it took me three listens to grab me, but now i do like it. especially the beginning. i guess the only part that throws me off is the bit with the piano, but i suppose that's just personal taste. nice work!

I was very close to taking out the piano when I first introduced it - It was very hard not to make it change too abruptly - however, I thought by exchanging the previous, subtle, piano part into the marimba worked to keep the flow... the piano intrusion symbolises mental turbulence, and seems to be getting more and more disturbed, before being beaten down, and normal service resumed with the resumption of the marimbas again. If I do extend it, I may well make the piano part longer and gel more with the rest of the piece. I'm not sure.
RE: adding a bass... It is already very finely balanced with many melodies and rhythms. Adding a bass would endanger it - making it either more clunky or too cluttered.
Thank you tolz and r !

haha, i was kidding about the bass, sorry. as for that piano part . i thought it gives the tune kinda more serious feel to it - fits in real nice imo, although it'd be better if that part was a bit longer tho. still, when piano part comes in the feel to the music changes from happy happy joy joy to something more um, musical :)

Thanks, Fabes, I'm glad you liked another of my pieces after about a year or so. Did you listen to the companion-piece, ...Clockwork Icebergs... ?
Chris, the other ones are on the zebox page also.

It's a gothic mansion on a Caribbean island. Maybe some of the distant relatives of the Addamses live there.
Let's call them, oh I don't know, The Savage Family.
Fortunately THEIR movie is not directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. :D

I swear i typed a responce in this thread about this track.
hmm
Paul i really liked this track. It totally fit the day and the mood i was in at the time. I enjoy your work. What kind of musical experience do you have. I remember you saying that you were a piano master or something.

Thanks Y'All.
Alberto, They are Celestes and Marimbas, using the fab VSTi Edirol Orchestral... if you adjust velocities and have background knowledge of 'classical' instruments, they can sound very authentic! :D

I donwloaded interior 1 and the other piece as well, i honestly think that your composition work gets beter everytime i hear it. I really enjoy the feeling of the pieces and they work together as a whole, i would however like to see interior 1 become a little longer. A little thing that i noted is that the slightly obscure time signature doesn't sound forced at all, it sounds very natural.
Very good work Paul, i lookk forward to hearing some more when you have the time to do some.
: )
