no no noooo.... No... It is amazing what *YOU* can squeeze out... I don't really know of too many other people who can create something this interesting and engaging with just "a few borrowed phrases." Well, OK, Beethoven maybe, but he's DEAD! :-) I'll gently disagree with Bob above, and mention that I hear Lots of percussive rhythm here as if you are using all these instruments more rhythmically than melodically (which is great, you did really well with it.) It is your wonderful grasp of timing that makes this so fun. Oh, and that spiral artwork is dizzy-pretty too. Great to see something new from you Macca, but I am sorry to hear why it was created. ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Lullaby for the Inner Child

Van... That Ludwig guy had more than just a few phrases and I don't think that they borrowed. And even if they're were some that were borrowed, at least you knew that he was gonna pay his debt, It even makes me laff to know how much I'm a bad deal and how being paid back is sooo not gonna happen. lol You make me laff, and even if you don't mean to, Draik! I started to send this to you to ask if you'd review it so that I could know that I was getting an 'A' on my little project by the time that it was being presented to the class. I chickened out and convinced myself that it was too much to ask of you. Well... Maybe I thought that it might be too much to ask of me ; ) by the time that it might be over... One day, I'm gonna do a tune w/ no drums whatsoever - you just wait and see... I know I can do it... I know I can.... Thanks for stopping by, Sir! Always a delight.

Sometimes "They" Stink I'm glad you turned the situation into something so positive, Babycakes. You know I love it when you bust out the brass and I'm digging on the percussive nature of all this, like Eduard (do you do things that aren't percussive, though?) This reminds me of All of It, which reminds me that I think you should put that one back up, because I love it so much. Homey Check out my latest song called Black Star (MJ Live Aid w/jgurner)

Re:percussions Strangely pleasing is this one, Dion. Sounds like good background music for someone involved in some sort of mischief... and perhaps that's what it reflects. But a delightful, innocent sort of mischief. You have a singular sense of rhythm and percussion, that's for sure. Good lemonade squeezed out of a lemony situation. I'd be more likely to pull out my old "you're gonna burn in hell" song and work on it. ;) --- Joe Check out my latest song called A Night @ Neverland

Captivating That's nice word! I was equally as captured by the state that I was in for way longer than a person should sit in one spot, and peering into the digital works of a screen. Interestingly though, is how much of this was done w/o me hearing it. Placing notes w/o listening to hear what I had done, not until I'd gone a ways into this piece. Most of it was quite intuitive and done while in a zone. That's what amazed me about the process of composing this paticular piece. Thanks for sharing such kind sentiments, Ross! I always enjoy taking in the string of words that you lay into a line. Macca Check out my latest song called 123 iGetU

Ticklish There's something very compelling about this... I think it's brilliant use of the space between notes as a way of making every single note seem to have it's own bit of personality. And they hold together in melodies that seem to be taking interesting paths. Like when you walk off the trail and step through the woods in a semi-random, but carefully plotted path, making use of the rocks and roots and uneven terrain to guide you to new unexplored places. It's always great listening to your stuff, Macca. Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

Ticklish Another word that I like! And by the end of this, I was actually smiling and being made happy a bit more than one should by their own work. I always like your analogies, David - Interestingly, at some point, I was consciously watching a psychodelic pony placing each step, of which, each note placement was representing. Do ponies go hiking... lol... Cantcha see it now... Don't know where the pony came from but we'll just chalk up the psyco action to being one of those pesky little flashbacks...

That thing you do The one thing that always stands out in your contributions is the way you layer your instruments. Just when I think one instrument is above the rest another comes in to take its place. I guess its like walking though a crowded area (party perhaps). Some voices you hear distant and then you bump right into someone trying to talk over the music. Check out my latest song called Guillotine

I noticed... Your comments seem to refer my music to people, and I'm rarely thinking about people when I'm composing. Although, you weren't saying that I was trying to represent people - I think that you tend to be closer to what goes on in the human heart, and in those good ways - that's why we need you!

Boy, does this perk up my morning... So good to see that 'Macaudion' name in the email list... And the way I hear it, you've got melodic instruments being played with a percussionist's sense of phrasing, and percussive instruments played in ways that bring out the tone and tonality, the melodic potential, that they possess... It sounds very 'you', too... I'd hear this and know who'd crafted it immediately... Sorry to hear about the upset... Delighted to hear some new music from you, though...

Hi Ed Good to read your words! I always like reading what you have to say because you have a tendency to point out exactly what I've done and even when I wasn't so aware. It helps because sometimes, I will more consciously focus on what you've pointed out to try and nail it more susynctly next time around. I do know that I tend to be more percussive in my efforts but oftentimes, (like on this tune) I'm trying to offer more melodic musings. I guess that i failed again, w/ the exception of what I was doing w/ percussion. See... But I like the idea of trying to focus more on seeing how much melody I can squeeze out of percusive instruments. Probably the only way that I'll be able to escape my natural tendencies is to not use percussive instruments. I know I can do it, i know I can... Anything new from you in the near future???

Even If Even if you are trying to prove you can do without that percussion, I think (like drakonis) the percussive elements to this are fabulous. I love the minimalist approach you have taken - getting across a very clear melodic line with very little instrumentation and accompaniment. You did this all in GB! Everything sounds great and the mix and volume of all the parts was perfect. This is a great piece of work Macca and I look forward to hearing more from you!

Wonderful piece I was totally transported, to where I'm not sure, but somewhere else! I love, love, love the space you allow. Everything is given room to breathe, and allowed to assert its own voice. No clutter. Very cool. The mood here is interesting. I like the idea of mischief that someone mentioned, but I also can't help but think of subterfuge and shadowing and...well, heck, isn't that mischief?! Either way, a wonderful piece of music.

Not much .. .. left to say. I agree .. the sparing short melody phrases I think are the key to the 'pull you in/captivating' factor of this I think, the sound choices are great .. and the arrangement/mix is sweet.

...quite the scientist: sitting in your labORatory, hunched over your smoking keyboard, eyes rolling madly as you produce sounds that transcend the banal...
Translated: this is really nice and I'm very impressed that you're "new" to working with sounds outside of percussion. Really cool piece with lots of space in it. The title captures the mood...
Enjoyed this very much...
