Description

Piano Rhythm, with a Synth solo. I'm working on a more complex chord sequence for the next version, with maybe no high piano.

No GB loops, all my midi playing. I even play midi drums here, but I would love to have real drums.

A little lost on the genre, I think it is a Rock instrumental a la ELP, but I'll let you chime in on that.

Open to suggestions on all aspects (especially the ending!)

Re: Nice Combinations
Thanks for listening.
Here is a web address to the Crystal Synth:

Crystal is a really flexible instrument and plays through GarageBand, lots of
sounds and voices :) You can control the sound with the knobs and sliders on a
midi controller or with your computer. It also has optional polyphony and touch
sensitivity.

2 on 3!
i like your use of the 2 against 3 rhythm. the synth works very nicely with
that back up. and build up works well. only one negative from me: the
parallel fourths on the synth sound cool, but they cause certain notes
(especially the held-out ones) to really fight the back up chords. i wish i
knew a solution to that problem - i've battled it myself and never found a
pleasing answer. if it were possible to retune the fourths note by
note? ........ but overall, i like this song. thanks

	Interesting point As usual you bring up an interesting issue. I'm working on a version that uses a different chord sequence, and I will try to work out what the best notes are for the holds. When holding a single note there are a lot more choices that work with the chord, than when holding a fourth. Thanks for listening. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	This was pretty cool Nice build up that somehow made me think of Bolero :-? Can't think of why... When it started to get a bit "long" you made the lead synth go staccato which sort of waked me up (it's 11.30 p.m. here remember..) in a good way. So thanks for sharing!

	Bolero??? Thanks a lot for the great comment. The drum part is inspired by ELP's "Abandon's Bolero" [sp?] which I haven't heard in years. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Henke	Henke said 1114 days ago (November 5th, 2006)
	Sorry That's Bolero by Ravel, you can get some half-minutes of it at iTunes Store. (I searched for Bolero Ravel and got 150 hits!) After a new listen I still think the inspiration is there. The slow buildup and something in the rythm maybe. Good job anyway! Check out my latest song called Heading for Alpha Centauri (mj space race 2009)

	Re Bolero Thanks. I am familiar with Ravel's Bolero, amazing piece, but I would never pretend to imitate it :) Ravel is way out of my league. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	Inventive I'm a huge fan of portamento - takes me back to the days of rick wakeman.Again I like the chord progression - very slightly zapper-ish of whom I am an admirer Check out my latest song called Tiger Flame (Halloween Challenge)

	Re: Inventive Thanks for listening and commenting. I am trying to get more expressiveness out of my keyboard, the portamento seems good for that. Besides I still listen to Rick Wakeman, so it doesn't sound "old" to me ;) Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	Great theme I really like this theme. It's a builder! I love the unconventional approach (although I'd rather hear a guitarsolo to go along). It's an inspiring song! Check out my latest song called Flies On Oranges

	Great Glad you like it. I like to use the basic piano idea in a lot of my practice/improvising. Thanks for listening and commenting! Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known
