Hey Bill This has a nice roll to it. Sounds like it was fun to put together! I'm not familiar with Addictive Drums. Is that something you type or tap? It sounded very nice, either way! Cheers, Doug Check out my latest song called Capitalist's Drag

Doug Its lots of fun to let the bass and drum loop and then play along on the piano, changing it around a little every time. At its simplest, the Addictive drums play the same as the GarageBand drum kits. I tapped out the hi-hat and kick drum for this. What it offers is better sounding drums and the tools to modify each drum separately without using multiple drum tracks. Thanks for listening. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

.. it really has that incidental music thing going on .. for me at least atypical of little outdoor scenes in American children shows made in the 70's - not that this is a bad thing, just what it reminds me of. The drum job is very good but I'd love to hear this done with real drummer using brushes .. on hit-hat, snare and some ride cymbals too - really give that jazz thing .. and the bass played on an upright bass. Kinda as it should be. You should ask around - lots of possibilies here Bill. Great keys as usual, charming happy summer's day melodies. Check out my latest song called Misplaced

NIce groove Reminded me of Ray Manzerak's playing on one of the Doors tunes like Riders on the Storm.(long version) or something like that. Good groove. Liked a lot of the nuanced idea development. Would have liked to hear some guitar in it somewhere or just have some other contrasting sounds or sections added. Its like a tease of more to come. Is there? Like what your doing.

Damiengh Thanks for the comments. I like Ray Manzerak's work. I worked hard on not making this one too long, sounds like I succeeded. As for adding to it, well that will take time. I do recycle melodic ideas though, so it may reappear in a more ambitious piece later. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

very upbeat i'm thinking the Doors - but not quite sure way, it's more upbeat than most of their tunes. maybe it's the long phrases of eighth notes in the bass and keys? is that a P1800? thanks Check out my latest song called One For Me

Smokey This is fast for a Doors tune, but the other elements of simple rock/blues are there. The car is a 1954 Studebaker Starlight Coupe. Thanks for giving this a listen. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Good groove! Instantly captivating. My first association when I heard the beginning was with the music of The Doors; a 'cool' 60's sound. The highlight, of course, is the electric piano playing; very tasteful, very cool, and well-crafted. If you wanted to take this further, it would definitely help (in my opinion, anyway!) to have a real drummer, or at least a more realistic programmed drum track (this drum track is fine, though; it's just that a real drummer, if good, would add so much more; are there any good drummers at your school?), and get a second solo instrument in there instead of the MIDI guitar (I think that's what it is, anyway). Having a guitar is a fine idea, it's just that it was so repetitive that it was less interesting after a while. Maybe you could see if anyone wants to do a collaboration with you on this? It might be fun. Cheers, Clark Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

composerclark I appreciate the sound advice. I think it is time for me to review what I have posted and see where I can add better (more varied) backing tracks. Collaborating might be the most rewarding way to go on this. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

open the doors hey Bill - what a cool little track, sorry i nearly missed it. It's got a kinda 'Riders on the storm' vibe which I love. Addictive Drums are great, aren't they - great range of sounds and easy to use - they sound ace here. Overall, a lovely little number - nice work! steve Check out my latest song called Deeper (w/t Racerat)

Steve- Yes, it was pretty easy to get good hi hat tone from the Addictive Drums. What is needed is a little more practice and the addition of some well placed accents. Thanks for taking the time to listen in, there was a sudden deluge of good new music the day after I posted this, I'm catching up on some of the new people now.

I always like this type of Jazz sound that lets the mind run riot with visualisations, yet smoothly relaxing. I like the drum beat, which is really a tango beat, don't you think? It works really well. Great playing as always, M Check out my latest song called Come Back Billie

Moviz Good to hear from a jazz lover :) I think I need to listen closely to a tango again, but you may be right. The beat I sort of copied it from was a lot slower. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Very catchy Very catchy, and the piano sound is an excellent choice for this song. Very "Starsky and Hutch." The guitar chords are well-chosen. Nice addition. I love this piano sound -- early Wurlitzer, sounds like to me. I used to have one of those, around 1982. It was a very nice keyboard. Only one sound, but you sure could do a lot with it. This obviously took a lot of planning. Nicely executed. Yes, the e-piano does work well as a bass-line instrument. And the car is cool! Looks like an old Plymouth Barracuda, or maybe a Jaguar.

John- I never played a real Wulitzer, but I do enjoy working with the voice. A lot of good songs I can't name tonight have made use of the Wulitzer sound. Thanks for taking note of the planning, I sometimes just jam, but this time I did "compose" :) and about the car: I think the Studebaker's of the '50's are the BEST! Thanks for taking the time to listen, I really do appreciate it. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Smooth Bill, This has a great feeling to it. I like the way it keeps moving, like a night drive on a winding county road. I think you should end the song on the last full phrase you give us, because the thing you start saying in the fade out just leaves me hanging--that's my opinion. I agree with the Doors comments. Nice playing. -g Check out my latest song called 08nov08

Greg Endings are tough, I will think about how it sounds with out the piano in the fade...

Hooked right from the start One of those simple and fun jazz pieces that burbles along like a brook in the spring sunshine. Love the left/right parts and the development of your theme. I agree with gregd - this is such a wonderful piece you want to end it just right to match the calibre of the rest of the performance. Maybe a longer fade so that the full phrase can be heard? Great work!! Thanks, Doug Check out my latest song called Desiree (MJ Space Race 2009)

Very smooth and a fun listen. This would work well as incidental music in a film or TV show.
Nice sound all round.
Cheers
