the short dance... and always a treat to have you stop in and listen too, thank you! I really liked the major/minor mode dancing throughout this too, that's mainly what I was playing with... it adds the bittersweet ingredient. And yes, this is a sketch for a longer piece, as time permits. I first wanted to see if this was any good... checking with my friends here :-) It began sounding Eastern European to me, with the oompah pumping backing and the longing melody, and since it is in 4/4 time, not 3/4, it is more foxtrot than waltz. So, I shall go back and work on a B section, then possibly a middle development section too, back to A then B, and extend my coda a bit. Endings are always difficult, especially when dancing so close to the one you love. ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

And that sound you hear is of the dancers flying off the floor in suprise as the song ends while they still have plenty of impetus. Sorry, but a dancer likes some warning that a song is about to end. They can for instance strike a nice pose, or bow to their partner, or whatever. Ok, my first thought was "that took him a while!". You must hold the record for being high in the participation picks with a song that you released months ago. Glad to see some new output from you, even though apparently it's not entirely new. Now about this track. It has a dance-like quality, and the organ reinforces the English music hall effect. However, the dance is more abstract than specific. This would probably be great for a folk dance; it does not feel like any existing ballroom dance. The tempo could work for a foxtrot, but the feeling is entirely different. Personally, I think it feels like a waltz, and I would dance 3-over-2, making it a gentle vienese waltz. Very pleasant track. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

great critique just the kind of insightful thoughts I need, thank you! Yes, it has been awhile, personal life and this music video DVD project have kept me from writing anything new, and finally I just had to get this down on paper... been working on it for a week now (boy I'm slow at writing music!) Yes, the ending is way too abrupt, I need to write about 8 more bars of coda, as well as a whole separate B section as Clark suggests. I'd also like to try a middle development section, much like the Viennese waltzes have, but that will take me awhile to come up with. I tried other instruments before settling on organs... the beat was almost too pronounced and harsh with sharper-attack instruments, but the organs make it almost too indistinct and mushy the other way. I may have to rewrite those staves and revoice them for violins and piano. But the way it came out (enhanced with some extra matrix reverb) it sounded distantly otherworldly... So, thank you again for your thoughts, as always! I continue to learn and reshape my art. ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Eastern folk charm Hi Feter, good to see your comment, thanks for stopping in! I am trying to capture sort of an old 1880's romantic Bohemian or Hungarian style mood. Of course, if it is truly Hungarian, I should change the organs to be accordians... but unfortunately I am allergic to accordians. So I will be scoring this for a more orchestral sound, I think. :-) ttfn, Drakonis PS - I like "Draki" too, that's a cute nickname :-) --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Haunting... Music which I would like to hear more of. I don't hear a foxtrot or a waltz there, but I was put in mind of some haunted ballroom in (as you say) some eastern european country. I could imagine watching people from the past dancing a gavotte or quadrille.... it is certainly different and very pleasant, M Check out my latest song called Come Back Billie

your wish is my attempt Hi Maurice, and welcome to Macjams. I've not listened to any of your music yet since we've just met, so I shall remedy that right after this reply! The initial harmony sections were initially too staccato, so when I changed to organs and added reverb to soften things, it got this dreamy/haunted quality that is really fun. Since it seems to be well received, I will work on it some more, make it longer and re-orchestrate it into something more danceable. I think of Gavottes and Quadrilles as more stately (or something from Alice in Wonderland.) Very glad to hear you liked it, I'll build on it. ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Yes, very Eastern European- You aren't a Hapsburg, by chance? This does evoke an ambivalent 'Aren't we privileged/ We're all doomed' sort of atmosphere. I love the celeste in there. And, accordians aren't really put on earth to make us all set our teeth on edge - they CAN sound perfectly musical, and very much like the voicing you have here, when played well. Reading over the comments, it appears you have more plans for this fine little theme. Post again when you have more! Check out my latest song called What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Ich bin ein Hapsburg nicht Nope, I'm not a Hapsburg, but I visited their (Scho:nbrun) palace once (and long to go back to Vienna, hopefully in a few years.) I wanted a tinge of uneasiness in there, just to arouse a bit of anxiety... don't want to put people to sleep, after all... very glad you feel that. And yes, accordians played live, well, and in the background, are OK :) For some reason, the up-front French chanson style where the accordian is the predominant instrument is just not my cup of tea, and it is an unfortunate bias for me. Anyway, I will be reworking this, but given my lack of ability and time, it may be a month or two, don't wait up! :-) I enjoy your comments, thank you for checking this sketch out and letting me know what you think! ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Ahh YES! NICE one Drak! I would love to hear this piece on a cathedral-sized pipe organ. I get the haunted feeling, for sure. Transylvania....vampyres dressed in elegant period evening wear, a dark creepy olde european castle. Dusty, cobweb-covered candelabras, ahh.........I really enjoyed this. Slightly short and kept me wanting more! I think I played it several times. You always do such a wonderful job at creating melodic, orchestral-type pieces. I feel the mood in this track to be comforting to me, for some strange reason. Very much how I am more at ease when I am in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Does that make ANY sense at all??? I don't know.......What I DO know is that I loved this track, Drak. Well done! Bravo! Take good care, my fire-breathing friend! Hope all is well with you.

dark luxx heehee, it makes perfect sense to me that you would feel at ease with this music going, it is right down your dark alley! :-) So glad to have you comment and like it, sir! I started orchestrating this with moog-ish synths, and it just didn't sound right, the organs added a better sound. I guess I should "pull out all the stops" and do a full-on organ version for you? :-) Things are good with me, and I hope all is well with you too. ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

good dreams Hi Bernd, Well, to answer your (and Darma's) question about organs, without giving away too many secrets, organs have many different registers, and so "one" software organ voice usually isn't enough. I used 3 here (from JP 4), Baroque organ, Flute Organ, and Fugue Organ (slightly tweaked from standard settings, and panned to different places.) The problem is I didn't initially write the music staves for organ... I chose that after importing it into GB. So it isn't really what an organist would play. Also, I have a little too much reverb on (to give the dreamy feel), so it gets a little mushy, I think. But it is a good start, and I'm learning a lot from the feedback... thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed! ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Thanks! Thanks for the information Drak(i)... I never would say that your organ sound sucks... but, hmmm Darma is right, from the view of a Bach fan... Anyway, I think we are free to use an organ sound as we want, that is one of the great possibilities we have, using programs like garageband. My favourite organ work is the "Prelude and Fugue in A Minor, BWV 543" from J.S. Bach. You have ever heard? There is a very nice record on I-tunes by Karl Richter, I don't know whether it is available in US... Greetings! Bernd --- ...if you´re looking for a sense, search with music!...

comparing fugues.. I checked that out on iTunes, and don't recognize it... but I admit that my all-time favorite Bach fugue is his "Little G Minor", talk about a melody that sticks in your head, and such great countermelodies and harmonies. And I could listen to the Goldberg Variations (on piano) all day. Oh, and the B Minor Mass, and the Well Tempered Clavier, and... oops, sorry. ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Your organ tone sucks. If you're using GarageBand, get the orchestral instruments JamPack and use either the Orchestra Organ for chord work or the Toccata Organ for melodies. Otherwise you can add chorus and reverb to the organ you're using to make it sound better - that's what I did before I got the JamPack. (Sorry, but as a Bach fan I'm very picky about organ tone.) Having told you that your tone is less than ideal (sorry for being such an ass), I will now tell you that WHAT you played and/or looped in this piece is very nice, and I'm going to give it a second listen now. Hmm...your string tones are very nice. This song juxtaposes something - I have no idea what exactly it juxtoposes but it seems like there's a contrast in something that I can't define that works very well. Overall a very good piece. I love minor key baroque sounding stuff. This piece is simultaneously creepy and sensual. Just use a different organ sound please! Check out my latest song called Celeste

I never ASSume... Hi Dharma, welcome to Macjams! I'll tell you right away that the main reason I hang out at Macjams is to get constructive positive/negative critiques, so I can learn how to write better music. So, I don't see you as being assinine from your comment at all. As mentioned above, I *did* use 3 different JP4 organs, however, the staff lines I assigned them to aren't really good/interesting "organ" style harmony parts (those lines were originally for guitar/strings), and the AUMatrix reverb was up higher than I normally use on pieces (it was around 35% wet mix) so it got a bit cavernous sounding. But the cellos sound pretty decent. I have a lot to do to make this a good piece. I want to rewrite some of the chorused harmony sections to be more interesting (it was a quick chopped chord thing to get harmonies) and re-score this for woodwinds, strings and piano instead of organ. Also, the main instrument is an English horn (doubled), and I think I want it to be a flute and/or piano. The best would be solo violin, but that would require a REAL violinist, because the jampack I have can't do a solo violin justice. Anyway, glad to know we have another baroque organ guy here, cool! Someday I'll have learned enough to actually write a fugue, just you wait! Well, no, you probably better not wait... this may take awhile :-) Off to listen to your stuff! ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Cello and Violin For good solo violin and cello sounds (as well as several other good instruments) check out the Fitch/Boldt free instrument downloads. I have them, and they are quite nice. They better be considering the Fitch Cello is something like 47 MB. They are the only decent sounding solo strings I have found - they might be the ONLY solo strings I have found. They don't work for intense staccato stuff with lots of attack, but they are outstanding for more melodic stuff like you would use here. (Experiment with the modulation wheel of your keyboard.) I'm not sure if Garage Band automatically recognized these instruments or not. If you need help with it send me a message. http://benboldt.spymac.com/instruments.html Check out my latest song called Celeste

Hideous no... Perfect for the song ... yes.

moodal melody Definitely wanted to set a dreamy immersive mood, and the first 3 attempts at instrumenting this (a bunch of weird synths, just bells/glock, then harpsichords and pianos and strings) sounded awful. The organs gave a much softer attack, and tweaking the reverb up a bit made this trail off in the night. However, I need to go back to my original idea of rewriting some of the harmony sections FOR specific instruments now, and make this a big orchestral ballroom piece. However, I still may be able to sneak in my earlier ideas of a solo "music box" Celesta starting or ending the piece, and I may do a big real-organ version sometime (just for Aaron :-) .

There's a 'romantic' category? Nice to hear something new from you, Eduard. I can't believe I'm only a few days late to this (I'm wayyy behind on my MJ listening!) but it's already filled up with big interesting comments. And the song is so short that I keep listening over and over whilst reading the comments. You know, the title is probably more hilarious than you think; ingenious and fitting for this haunted setting. It reminds me of, oh I don't know, Harry Potter or something. Movies or books that kids might watch/read but with sinister overtones... like James and the Giant Peach, or Lemony Snicket. Anyway, nice work.

As for the title, I too thought it was rather a cute bit of wordplay, but I also thought it was sooo obvious that I'm sure somebody else thought of it long before I did. Thank you for noticing it... there are many little nuances that I add to my works, and it is a joy when somebody spots them. Of course, not everyone enjoys a good pun, in fact, most people say that "good pun" is like "military intelligence"... two words that really don't belong together :-) But you and I know better. James and the Giant Peach (shudder)... what a disturbingly dark and sinister story. But that's Dahl for you. And as for music, sir, I am extremely envious of your ear for rhythm and for crystal clear mixing...

in the mood for more Since you asked so nicely... you got it! I am mostly interested in going back to an orchestral arrangement of this, but I think I'll also do a "spooky version" with organs and Celesta, maybe somebody will want to come up with some singing for it, Hooo nose? :) Back to the drawing and quartering board for me... ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Deep and pumpy Well, normally being referred to as "the bottom end of an organ" wouldn't sound too flattering, but since you said you liked the "deep pumpy thing", its all OK. I believe you are hearing the low notes of the cello peeking through... or possibly you are marvelling at the organ's 8 foot diapason. Either way, given your and my predilection for innuendo, we shall just stop right now. Thank you very much for giving this a spin!

blending the counterpoint Transitions between themes, and writing the different counter-melodies are always fascinating to me, but really hard for me to figure out! Even harder is then developing this into a longer piece where I chop up and rearrange the melody... that is next on my plate. We'll see if I can do it. Thank you for checking it out.

Happily haunting... ...and merrily melancholy! There is something jaunty about this piece--without being that 'over-cheery' sort of jaunty. I can just see the spectres gathering for the dance; it very much brings to mind the Haunted House at Disneyland and that magical sight of the spirits dancing in the ballroom. Ghostly, yet gleeful. Very delightful! As others have said, a more realistic ensemble of instruments would help the grand ballroom style of this piece, but it's just so darned fun as it is, too! Yes, the ending needs a more graceful sway to a close--even holding out those last two notes would allow for a proper pose. Lovely! :) Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

graced by the myst Thank you Cat, for listening and critiquing... your thoughts help propel me into doing something grander with this sketch. For some reason, I wasn't sure whether this would appeal to anyone, I happened to like it but wasn't sure about pouring lots of orchestration into it if it was just so-so.

So your evocative carousel imagery gave me chills, good job there! Anyway, I've got plans for this sketch, check back in a few hundred years and I'll have worked more flesh onto the bones.

nice I think this song does have a lovely bittersweet quality, but I like the underlying humor of it. The song is aware, I think, of it's parody nature. (That, and the title is pretty funny).

perceptive you are... hehe, thank you very much for your thoughts... yes, I admit that there's a bit of humor in just about everything I do, since life is rather dull otherwise... in this piece, I started out with a serious sketch idea, and just before posting here, altered the instrumentation to be more gothic-sounding, just for fun... but I believe now that I should pursue my original goal with this, extending it into a real dance piece, and going back to my original idea of full Vienna string orchestra kinda thing (with a twist.) So your comments are very helpful, thank you. I intend to give the dancers time in the middle to have a nice long dance, and a proper ending. ttfn, Drakonis, dancing elsewhere for a while, back soon --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

hiya drak (why i keep mistyping your name to drank?!) anyway, i am from ex bohemia (now czech republic which i'm sure you know :) i have to say, that you came with something so unique, that i honestly can not place it anywhere. i would maybe say there is a tiny bit of russian (how lavalamp has already said) and i see it in that organ accompanying chords. but the main melody, i just can not place. which is fantastic, because you've just created a brand new imaginary country, lost somewhere in the never ending woods of eastern europe. a country with very rich culture and history and brilliant folk music style (well we know that your posting is NOT a folkie music, but it did develop from folkie music and here we have it) nice, smooth, dark, velvety soft. i was thinking about what kind of dance it can be, but i don't know. because no one can know! because this dance developed from trad. folk dance of this country and no one of us was ever there, so we can not know :) but i have to say that the first thought which came to my mind after few first notes of your music was "a funeral". not in a bad way, i saw in front of my eyes a dark little square in an old little town, soft light is illumining that dancing area and few truly odd couples are having their dance. behind the corner a funeral procession is proceeding to a little cemetery on the hill behind the town and our couples dance on tones of a strangely twisted funeral "march" their panegyric last dance. like if they were saying with their dance "good bye you, who are leaving us. it is in your honour". i have to say i have really goose bumps. truly beautiful sound, very atmospheric, dark and evocative. very nice drak.

wonderful surprise How delightful to have you "Czech up on me"... and you are correct, you caught me writing ancient folk music from a mythical country between Romania, Bohemia, and Russia, with an unpronounceable name, except in dragon-tongue. I love your analysis of the music, that it is not Czech, but more Russian... this is a helpful bit of information for me. The music, in reality, is drawn from influences from Dvorak, Mussorgsky, Smetana, and Liszt... but I think you are right, the Russian influence is possibly strongest. I did not want this in a purely minor key, so the switching back to major adds some "light", and I'm happy to know you felt that it wasn't a completely depressing funeral march. Also, my sort of tongue-in-cheek orchestration for organ darkened it too. However, I am starting to rewrite this the way I wanted, for strings and woodwinds, and I will make it a little faster too, so it feels more dance-like, and less funereal. Wonderful feedback, thank you, Pavlina! ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

very interesting piece This piece has a very nice ebb and flow to it, the energy seems to consistently rise and fall in smooth intervals. It never gets too high and never gets too low, which gives it a sense of rhythm despite not having traditional drums or percussion. The sound quality is a bit too high end of the spectrum for me, but I'm listening through a laptop, so there may be some underlying bass that I'm missing. I think it could do for a bit more balance was some added low end, but that's a minor quibble. The thing that really struck me was that the "feel" is so very Rennaissance... I could imagine hearing this as accompanying music in a 16th/17th century period movie. Would fit in seamlessly and convey emotion and bring added texture.

Hi Drak! I love this melody....it evokes nostalgia, anticipation, sadness.....the organ reminds me of a merry go round. It would sound wonderful with orchestral arrangements. The end is a little abrupt and the piece is too short. It would sound even better with a counter melody in the middle and go back to the main theme at the end. I really liked it!

Enrique! Thank you for listening, and offering your thoughts on what it needs... you and I have exactly the same thoughts, and I actually have almost completed what you suggested. I have the ABA' dance, then a canon in the middle (I'm still not ready to do a fugue!), then ABA' again, then a much longer bigger ending, all done with a chamber orchestra sound... I'm hoping to finish it this weekend, if I can also clean house and pay bills :-) I look forward to your thoughts on the updated piece, which is what I was originally going for when I posted this "teaser" version. Funny, I also took my "Lickety Split/Caroline's Bear" ragtime piece, and invented a "Calliope" sound to play it on, and that too sounds like a merry-go-round... maybe I should start writing pieces for amusement parks? ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/24994">DidgeEmber</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Phantom Sounds like the Phantom of the Opera, dancing in the dungeon, with Christine, who is his captive, and yet is truly captivated by the Phantom. You've done this in a minor key, but a certain joy still leaps from it.

minor always gets a bad rap! I happen to really like minor keys, especially when there's a certain strength and exuberance added that emanates from the melodies... I tried to do that here. Now this particular piece was just a sort of tongue-in-cheek "phantom"-like cast of a sketch... I was working on a much bigger orchestral piece, this was just a taste. That one is finished, and is called "Black Forest Dance"... I just recently posted it. You'll recognize the main melody in there, but it is vastly expanded. I hope you'll like it even better, even though it's off the keyboard, and now given to woodwinds and strings. Anyway, thank you for stopping in and enjoying this. Your pieces always have that smirky element that I love, and I swing through your CD on my iPod from time to time, and am always enjoy your mastery of music. ttfn, Drakonis --- Deja vu - It's the next best thing to being there<br> ### Today's song:<a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/28669">Dance of the Technoids</a> Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Some still practice the "old style" dances, but I cannot tell you who, unless you join the Black Forest Dancers (smirk). ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

nice cool track dragon! i know nothing but about waltzes and such, but i do know good music when i hear it.. it does have a gothic vampire feel to it as you mentioned i think in one of the posts..a sense of rhythmic mystery and dark to me, very enticing! loved the vibe. Check out my latest song called Confusion

1,2,3 All you have to do is "Count" to 3 :-) Thanks for stopping by, Jay, glad you liked it! This was a "prototype" for my more "fleshed out" piece, "Black Forest Dance." This was its romantic beginnings. ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Foxtrot? It is nicely-done, evocative of the things you suggest in your description, and quite clever, what with the switching back and forth between major and minor modes. It's a good vignette, works fine as it is, but I think it could be the first section of something longer; it would be interesting to hear a contrasting section ("B") that follows this, of equal proportions, to be followed by the A section again, perhaps shortened or otherwise modified.
Always nice to hear something nice from you!
