Description : Instrumental piece. Guitar. Electric Piano, Bass, Congas, Synthesized drums, strings, etc. Has a kind of Brit sound. I've never played a Wurlitzer piano, but just for a change, I used a Wurlitzer patch here. The first guitar verse was processed to get a very unusual sound. Hope it's not too much! Some versions sounded a bit clownish, hence the name. I hope you like it, or it gives some ideas. not sure about the genre. Some of it is rock, but not all.
A new version {4/16/2015) makes changes based on the reviews I received. Thanks everyone

    Many thanks for taking the time to listen, and comment. I'll take a look at 2:42 and see if I can make some changes.

    Takes me to a sunny beach in the 80's. I think it's got potential to be a top track. I think the conga could be dropped entirely and the track wouldn't lose any substance because it's quite relaxing. The second clown guitar at 2:43 takes me out of the moment. There's also some technical issues. Some substantial audio clipping between 3:47-3:48. And a few minor audio clipping type noises between 3:54-3:57.

    I can't thank you enough for this great review. I'll look at the issues that you've raised, and see if I can fix them. It's hard for me to drop the congas, because they are my new toy :), but let's listen without them and see if I can bear to do it.

    Hi again.

    By 'light' I mean weak, lacking in balls, attitude, edge, vibe, body etc.

    I make a fairly broad range of music, which also includes a lot of chillout so I often use quite a few sounds on the lighter side of things.

    I have to be very careful that they don't come out sounding weak and cheesy. There's quite an art to this. Clean guitar can sound very weak in the wrong context but sometimes adding distortion can be completely wrong so you need to go with the clean but make sure it's not sounding weak.

    Various ways to fatten up and give these sounds more attitude but I guess you won't as these are no doubt the kind of sounds you're into. As always, if you like them, go with them and don't change a thing. I'm just expressing my opinion ie honest feedback.

    I thought this one deserved some feedback as the musicality is good. Not my sort of sounds but would probably make more sense with a romantic vocal. I still probably wouldn't like it (ie if it were a cheesy vocal) but I do respect it.

    Good luck getting to the 80s. There's some serious cheese to be found in 80s sounds so beware!

    Many thanks for taking the time to clarify the term.
    My problem isn't that I only enjoy the sounds I produce. I'm kind of locked into a place where it's hard for me to see outside. Sometimes I have dialed back the aggression level because I don't want to hurt anyones ears. I'll try to find a way to get nearer the edge for a bit, and see what happens.
    As far as honest feedback is concerned. It's far more useful to throw down your honest perceptions, than merely rubber stamp something, so I'm grateful to hear your real opinion
    I agree about the cheese that was present in the 80s.
    anyway, thanks, and take care

    I think cinematic is a good choice. To me it sounds like tv theme music for a show or perhaps music to into/outro a scene. It sounds a bit dated, like SN said maybe the '70's. I can almost picture Bob Newhart jumping into bed with Susan Pleshette... and Mary Tyler Moore, lol.

    It's certainly easy on the ears, relaxing and the mix sounds even. Nowadays, we have these daws with thousands of sounds and effects, might as well use them and see what they do. Nothing abrasive or poorly done, they seem to add a certain feel and atmosphere to the song.

    Nice job Bob!

    Many hanks for the review Wayne. I think I have too many miles on the clock to sound contemporary. Still I've managed to get to the 70s with this one. Maybe I can get to the 80s next time. :)

    Hi.

    I appreciate the musicality in this one. Makes me think of 70s rock quite a bit.

    I don't love all the sounds as I find some a bit light (probably the high string part and brass). Actually sounds like it could be a successful 70s romantic pop song. Or romantic film theme tune.

    That guitar lead starting 1:17 is really quite romantic but also quite a light sound.

    This one should probably have vocals to go with it as I can hear all the necessary changes for a singer and you're guiding them throughout in terms of melody.

    Very proficient arranging and instrumentation, a good length and a good, definitive end.

    Not my kind of thing but I very much respect it.

    Many thanks for the review.
    I tried to add more edge than in the past, but now I'll think some more. Would you mind helping me understand what you mean by "light". It would help me find how to improve these sounds.
    I would definitely work with a vocalist, if the chance comes.

    again, Many thanks, and good luck

    Bonjour Bob ....

    A very sophisticated mixture, which you have the secret .... Different approaches in this concept make this track a pleasant moment to listen.

Description : Ok...here it is! Another colab with maestro Tumbleweed! Ed provided the unfinished, basic track...I composed and recorded the long intro using different synths and then added piano (well to the fore) and some brass arrangements along the rest of the track (no violin this time...hehe) and then did the final mixing to wrap it up as it is presented now. I hope you will enjoy it and we both appreciate your listening time and your valuable comments:) Otherwise all thanks to Ed!

Description : Guys this is sound track I have created for a friend who is a documentary film maker.
The film is about the distraction of Earth neutral beauty and creating concrete jungles in its place. It was really sad to see so I came up with this track.
Majority of it done with minor keys to reflect the sadness I hope you all like it.

Description : I had no particular intention doing this, but then it just came on me out of nowhere....How to make an antithesis Halloween work!? Prior to that there were no plans to make a track for the occasion, furthermore I've never been really interested in such a thing. It always seemed a bit silly to me if not outright childish. But then I remembered the Interview with The Vampire and Bram Stoker's Dracula. My gosh, there was some peculiar romanticism in there and I probably don't have to tell you twice that this must be a bait for Orlando, as is a cup of fresh young blood for a vampire...:) Furthermore I like people who are different, so I just have to like vampires who a different as well...hehe...so it should be dawning on you by now that this won't be your standard Halloween tune...haven't I mentioned "antithesis"? So...no growling zombies, midnight cemetery bells, creaking doors or any of your favourite horror sounds, although it's still a little bit darker in tone...hell yeah, vampires are still vampires...haha...but this one is mainly about a vampire desperately in love with a young lady, craving for her as a madman...I won't tell whether she's also a vampire or not, cause you might figure it out listening to the track...^^ Otherwise it was about time for me to come up with a new solo work, since I've been almost exclusively doing collabs in those past few months (which I love ofcourse)...afteral you can always ask Ed...:)^^____Happy Halloween folks!:)

Description : a 277 second cinematic about human wars...
I know its a lot for a 17 years old boy to think about this type of things, but its me, and it cant be changed...
lemme tell you about story of the music...
first it starts from WorldWar2, one of the most sadly years for human. then after the war, you can see people are happy, kids are playing, but after some years, you can see the world is getting ready for the WorldWar3 and then you can hear the rest of the story in music...

Description : As first, just forget about the genre...I had to put something, didn't I?:) Otherwise this is something like enjoying sunshine, but to make the feeling a bit more complicated is also about not wanting to have it directly in my face...hehe...
