| Olympic Fanfare by mbehar | 14 days ago |
| Wonderful job, Mori! Absolutely dead on for an Olympic anthem. Love the concept behind it and the execution. Bravo! Gold medal! | |
| Think I Can, Know I Can-(Olympic Spirit) by grathy | 14 days ago |
| I, too, love to swim and was in many a meet in my youth (and I wasn't very good so the Olympics never even entered my mind, but the spirit of hoping to achieve even in the smallest of meets was there). You did a great job on this and I liked the idea of the mantra as opposed to complex lyrics is a great one. It was on the faces of all the athletes as they waited for the gun/tone/whatever to start the race. |

| Home Town, song for a warrior by bama | 1 month ago |
| It's got a sort of country twang to it (though I'm far from a country expert so I could be totally wrong). Maybe it's the homespun message, though the lyrics fit beautifully with your source material. Great delivery on this. | |
| Run Away by bama | 1 month ago |
 Another endearing piece of music, bama. A good improv track (I have more than my share of those up, too). Nice work on the lyrics for an improv piece! |
|
| Beloved, a capella version, 3 voices by bama | 1 month ago |
I must agree with the others, this is a lovely song. I love harmony and you did it very well. Excellent work! |
|
| Mother by MikeRC | 1 month ago |
| The phrasing and choices almost exactly mirror the Streisand version of this song. It's not easy to do Streisand so kudos to the vocalist! | |
| The Hidden Agenda by Jovana | 2 months ago |
| Funkalicious! As others have said, I like the layers. Some nice harmonies in there, too. | |
| The Silly Things I Didn't Do Today by Joanna | 2 months ago |
| Thank you to those who played this for your kids! I really appreciate that as they are my primary audience with this song. | |
| 24/7 by Joanna | 4 months ago |
| I adore Sergio's work and the man himself was a true sweetheart. Thanks everyone for listening! Man, I love this site. I get to play around with a microphone and then let anyone who wants to, hear my goofy fun. | |
| Justin Case (a Dedication) by Filmscorz | 4 months ago |
| Yowza, that's some great jazz trumpet there, my friend! | |
| SoapBubbleBox by eagle_1 | 5 months ago |
| Fantastic! Gorgeous vocals. So many layers, all done to perfection. Bravo! | |
| Save The Day by cronic_fortune | 5 months ago |
| Nice! Love the pop vibe on this one. Good arrangement. I'd love it if you gave a little more info about the song (I love reading that stuff) and post the lyrics so those of us who love lyrics can read them. The song itself is great. Congrats to your cousin, too! |
|
| Lucky Silver Dollars by KeithPetrower | 5 months ago |
| You did a great job on bass and drums, Keith. I'd love it you guys would post the lyrics. I like to read along, to get a sense of the poetry separate from the music and then see how they work in combination. Cool song! | |
| Simple Twist Of Fate by Dylan | 5 months ago |
| Beautiful performance, Dylan, very passionate. Bravo! | |
| Mrs. Dyers by Leesa | 5 months ago |
| Wonderful, character-filled vocals. So passionate. Stellar performance. | |
| Someone To Watch Over Me (Cover) George and Ira Gershwin by JodyG | 6 months ago |
| Gorgeous! Now that iComp is back, I'll get you the vocal asap. I didn't forget, just got busy. | |
| Time Traveler by Ignoramus | 7 months ago |
| I'd forgotten about the innapropriate collab thread and that I had suggested Mysti singing heavy metal. Imagine my surprise when I found out it actually happened. Myst, I would've loved a little thrashing from you -- totally let loose -- but the result of the collab is an interesting blend of your oohs and his raging guitars. It rather defies a label (metal ambiance?) and is a fascinating idea, this blending of styles into something totally new. Great work both of you! | |
| Misty (cover) by JodyG | 7 months ago |
Absolutely gorgeous! Man, I would LOVE to be able to play the piano like that. Beautiful arrangement, carressingly played. Bravo! |
|
| Two Sides by 8MonthMalfunction | 8 months ago |
| Great job on the collab! Nice driving beat, the song is propelled forward by the instruments, the vocals, etc. As others have said, dark. | |
| Strange Fruit by mbehar | 8 months ago |
I'm blown away. Was crusing around, clicking links and found myself here, and now I can listen to no others. This one is still playing in my soul. Fantastic performances from all three of you. And Rinca, oh Lordy, but that is a heartfelt performance. Amazing. I love the trumpet, too. Like the wails of the dead. Great job all of you. |
|
| When Tears Rain Down (a collaboration) by rcandrews | 8 months ago |
| Hey Rob! I forgot about this song but I'm glad I found it. You've really fattened up the production on this. Sounds great! I played a small roll but had a lot of fun. I'll happily re-record if you ever need it. | |
| Chicago Medley by Navbass | 9 months ago |
Absolutely amazing. That's one heckuva singer, too. Fantastic musical moment and I thank you for sharing it with us. |
|
| save the girl by that80sboy | 9 months ago |
| Love all the superhero references. Great song for comic geeks like me. | |
| The Stars Are Missing by NinaGiampaolo | 11 months ago |
| Wonderful song, Nina. Excellent vocals -- great pitch and the harmonies are right on the money. Be very proud of yourself! | |
| Aliens Are Dancing on the Milky Way by Joanna | 11 months ago |
| Thank you all for such great comments! bhar - I'm not familiar with the song to which you refer but I can say that this song is all loops plus vocals, so it's not surprising someone else chose the same loops. This was written in the summer of '04 three days after I discovered Garageband on my computer. I didn't even know there were music sites back then. I was just playing with new software and having fun singing into my pinhole mic. It's a very simple song - just a bass and a drum loop stretched the length with different drum loops dropped into the appropriate spots. |

| Christ and Pilate - Jesus Christ Superstar by icanzilb | 12 months ago |
| I am a huge fan of JCS and your Pilate is dead on! Fantastic, spirited performance. I truly enjoyed this. Left me with a big grin and yes, I sang along. Couldn't help myself. | |
| Twinkle Twinkle My Little Star by nealbowen | 12 months ago |
| Wow, what a gorgeous arrangement of this song. Absolutely beautiful. | |
| Cool Day Jam / Mike & Tom Huber (Jamsession June 2007) by Bluepiano_MikeesBluesExpr | 12 months ago |
| This is wonderful. As the others said, you guys play great together. Your talent and that of your brother shine. Wow. | |
| Mikeees Boogie (Mikees Blues Express / Mike Huber) by Bluepiano_MikeesBluesExpr | 12 months ago |
| Fantastic! Those are some fast fingers you have there. What a feel good piece this is. Three cheers for your ten digits! | |
| Beat the Devil by Joanna | 12 months ago |
| I posted this and wondered if my lyric search was off a bit -- perhaps the lyrics were under a weird title. So I went back and sure enough, I found the lyrics. I'm sorry I presented it as an improvisation when in fact there were some lyrics. I changed the intro and figured it was so late at night, no one would listen. I love being proved wrong! Thank you both, gentlemen, it's awfully nice of you to come here, listen, and leave a comment. | |
| Racial Harmony by rex | 12 months ago |
| This would be great music underplaying a scene of that outdoor market in a film. Very nice piece with lots of energy and movement. | |
| (Meet Me) Halfway (3rd pass) by aaront | 1 year ago |
| Fantastic song with amazing vocals. The production is great. This song really hangs together supported by your fantastic voice. | |
| Glimpses by ScottCarmichael | 1 year ago |
| This is gorgeous! Very professional sound, wonderful lyrics, great vocals and a really cohesive sound. This is dead center in the "wow this is good" scale. -- Joanna |
|
| I'm Going to Shangra-La by mfwmiles | 1 year ago |
| Very catchy song with an excellent chorus. Your vocals are quite good but it sounds like you buried them a bit in some sort of effect. Either that or you need a better mic. Still, the quality shines through. Great job! | |
| SIMPLE LIFE by wal4uJR | 1 year ago |
Love the vocals. She's fantastic! |
|
| Promo Teen by vegetal | 1 year ago |
| Good work, Veg! You should post the lyrics so we can follow along. Good job on the instruments -- very toe tapping! | |
| Another Ugly Day by Boris_the_Bull | 1 year ago |
Fantastic song! Has such a jaunty sound that belies the lyrics making it both intriguing and a lot of fun. Wonderful counterpoint. The vocals are terrific on this one; you really have such an appealing sound. Love it! |
|
| Rainy Day by mbehar | 1 year ago |
| I want to join my voice with Mori's and Ilya's thanking all of you for such wonderful comments. I also want to sing the praises of these two fine musicians for their talent and craft. This was a joyous project for me. | |
| MY FUNNY VALENTINE (Version 1) by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |

| A GLIMPSE OF YOUR EYE by Barretok | 1 year ago |

| Great job both of you - very interesting VO work, Lili, with or without a cold it worked very well. | |
| >Ballad of the Boo Hag by DavidBowles | 1 year ago |
Great job on this one, David! I love the lyrics -- written in authentic patois. Your performance fits the lyrics and musical bed beautifully. Wonderful work! |

|
| When Monsters Want to Dance by Joanna | 1 year ago |
| Thank you everyone! To me, there's nothing quite as fun and freeing as writing a children's song. The kid in me easily shoves the adult aside. All hail the monsters! | |
| CHASE YOUR BLUES by wal4u | 1 year ago |
Fantastic job, Wal! What a talented family you have. Amazing. |
|
| Pirahna Beach by Baboon | 1 year ago |

Fantastic jazz, guys! Love the guitar in this. So cool. Great vocals, too. |
|
| Brother by Didier | 1 year ago |
I don't know who 40 is, so I can only comment on the song as a song. It deserves all the positives its gotten. Great sound, with unexpected and entertaining transitions all layered with fantastic vocals and harmonies. This is extremely well done. Whoever 40 is, he should be very proud to have a song this in tribute. |
|
| Wine Into Water by enicholsIC | 1 year ago |
| My gratitude to everyone who said such kind things about the vocals on this piece. And a special thank you to Ed and Paul for letting me hitch a ride on this journey of theirs. It was a real joy working with these two talented brothers. Their vision and muscianship shines in these songs, as you can hear. Thank you, Ed, Paul and iComp for a great experience. | |
| If our souls by n2groove | 1 year ago |
I love your vocals on this song. So much passion -- it's both affecting and infecting. I would only ask for less reverb. There is no reason on earth to hide that voice behind effects. Put it out there and let it shine; it's gorgeous. Beyond that, really like the lyrics and the rest of the soulful production. This is just a fantastic song and I thank JD for putting it in his shout-out so that I could be led here to enjoy it. |
|
| Autumn Song by makpiano88 | 1 year ago |
| I love jazz. You have a lot of talent. I've always wished I could play jazz piano. | |
| Look to the Horizon by itiswotitis | 1 year ago |
| I'll admit that I don't know a thing about the genre, so I can't really comment on that. But I do like vocals and I thought you did some nice things in there, Jo. Very powerful in the build. | |
| Straight To Hell by GumboStu | 1 year ago |
| Love it! I always love your voice, and it's fun to hear getting a little gravely. | |
| Straight Man In A Gay World by Dylan | 1 year ago |
Great production on this one. Wonderful performances from both of you. Now that's a trumpet! Loved the vocals. |
|

| Blomgren 472 (old version) by Ale | 1 year ago |
| Hejsan! This is a wonderful song, energetically and lovingly played by all involved. Loved it! | |
| Pulp-1-Lady Greystoke by DavidBowles | 1 year ago |
This is a wonderfully complex, well imagined piece of music. Love the blending of Tarzan's parentage with his eventual homeland. Great job! |
|
| The Greatest Show by Joanna | 1 year ago |
| Thank you, Julian, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm sad that I had to delete the file and start over because I had 3 comments on here. I took a screen grab, though, and want to thank colalucaenzo, teaks, and clausjordan for their remarks. Teaks alerted me to the problem with the original file, so a special thanks to him for letting me know that I forgot to trim the end. |
|
| The Ballad Of Alpo by Dylan | 1 year ago |
A wonderful piece of work by both of you. I love storytelling songs and this one carries on that wonderful tradition beautifully. Dylan, your vocals are mesmerizing -- fabulous job, full of pathos and grit. Fantastic! |
|
| Around The Rainforest by archie7777 | 1 year ago |
Love the jungle rhythms and primal soundscape. The etherial guitars are wonderful. |
|
| Yummy Universe with Kitty Cat Land on the side by pete | 1 year ago |
Love the pan flutes in this one. Great primitive feel. I felt like I was in the rainforest. |
|
| 9/11/01 by Balok | 1 year ago |
Intensely moving piece of music. I keep typing things and erasing them. I'm without words. What you said musically -- I agree. |
|
| Time by Joanna | 1 year ago |
| Thank you, nemo! Grazie, colalucaenzo! I'm grateful you stopped by. | |
| Time by Joanna | 1 year ago |
| Thank you so much Julian, compuguy and fromano! I really appreciate your taking the time to listen. Julian -- as always, you lift my spirits to the heights. compuguy -- if you're serious about adding viola, I've sent you a PM. I'd love it! fromano -- wow, thank you so much! That's an extremely high compliment. I'm honored. |

| What a Friend We Have In Jesus by TheTiler | 2 years ago |
So beautiful, Bill. I, too, remember this song from the days when I went to Sunday school and we'd all sing together. Well, I would belt out songs and my classmates would mumble, but I used to enjoy that part the best of all. Thank you for this gorgeously played reminder of a song many of us have known most of our lives. |
|
| Mister Robinson by Boris_the_Bull | 2 years ago |
One of my favorites of yours, Boris! Just had to revisit it. |
|
| Never Satisfied by Joanna | 2 years ago |
| Thank you all so much! I agree that the song could use a little more depth in the backing, which is why I added the background vocals. Granted, jazz piano or trumpet would be great but I don't play jazz piano and I don't want to overdo my fake trumpet (it's always something I think of, though) so this is it. I'm glad you were all able to enjoy it anyway! | |
| Since I Left Memphis by oldblueday | 2 years ago |
Great song! Put me in the camp that would like the vocals a little more up in the mix. Granted, I'm one of those people who just loves vocals, so I always like them to be clear and a focus of a song. Your guitar-playing is gorgeous. It's not that I want less of that, it's just that you have a nice voice. Trust yourself and your talent. Don't fear vocals, delight in them. |
|
| I Cut My Flocking Finger With a Knife by Joanna | 2 years ago |
| Yes, I hear most of iComp hates to be told a song is enjoyable! JD, you are such a kind man for dropping by. I appreciate you more than you'll ever know. | |
| I Cut My Flocking Finger With a Knife by Joanna | 2 years ago |
| Thanks for dropping by, Ponkey! Yes, it's always a pain-in-the-finger to weild a knife poorly and poor musicians have it the worst. Luckily, I'm just a flocking singer. | |
| Little Girl by Geechi3 | 2 years ago |
Really nice vocals, you have a clear, beautiful voice. I have more than one "two loop" songs, bass and drums, just as you did. It's easy to sing jazz to a minimal soundscape. I like the harmonies you threw in, nicely placed. Very good song! |
|
| Being Poor by Joanna | 2 years ago |
| I have to agree with you. Quite strange. | |
| Rosin the Bow by Joanna | 2 years ago |
| Thank you all for commenting! Bob, not live in the sense of performing anywhere other than my living room. I was feeding it through a vocalizer workstation, which gave me the reverb (reverb that should never have been turned to max, but it was a new piece of equipment and I thought at the time that reverb was the best thing ever! I've since learned to calm down, after playing with Garageband). All the harmonies are my voice, also via the workstation. However, I do have to admit that sound engineering isn't my strong suit, so you did get that right. I just like to sing. And JD - I've done "fake rock song" before (I hesitate to post it) and I'll be the first to admit, not really good at it. I can belt, but it comes out much more Broadway than anything else. |
|
| Sweet little daughter of mine - NYC mix by ORANGEAUDIO | 2 years ago |
Gorgeous song! Your vocalist is amazing -- I could listen to her all day. Beautiful tone to her voice. The entire production is fantastic from the exceptional cellist to the theme. Wonderful work, OA. |
|
| Jazz on Altair by Lafayette | 2 years ago |
Oooh, this is sweet! Wonderful laid back jazz with sting. You have a lot of talent. |
|
| Son of beast... (Woody's) by lilichi | 2 years ago |
| Lovely voice, Lili, and great job on the musical bed, Woody. This is a haunting piece, wonderfully performed by both of you. | |
| QAA: black guitar by ponkey | 2 years ago |
Beautiful in its simplicity. This is truly lovely, Ponkey. Thank you for posting this. |
|
| Prelude/Little Sass by jdwyer05 | 2 years ago |
Well, boss my nova! Lots of latin fun in this one. I love the story about your little girl. That makes all the hard work worth it, doesn't it? Seeing the delight on her face -- be sure to get a video! Wonderful job, JD. |
|
| A Song by jlgerk | 2 years ago |
Lovely song, JL! Lots of energy and yet still manages to have the laid back vibe of an impromptu jam session. Gorgeous! |
|
| Love & Marriage by David E. Fahnestock | 2 years ago |
| Great a capella rendition of a Sinatra classic! Congratulations on your anniversary and on having such a fine singing voice. | |
| Sand (duet) by Dylan | 2 years ago |
Excellent job on this song. Fantastic vocals. I would have preferred a little less reverb on the vocals -- you both have phenomenal voices and don't need the crutch of heavy reverb. Great performances! |
|
| the journey out by j0j0 | 2 years ago |
Congrats on your 600 plays! Wonderful music while chatting, I must admit. |
|
| Wondrous Story (Final Mix) by jdwyer05 | 2 years ago |
Wonderful work, JD! Sounds like a first-rate jam session from a group of pros. I, too, hear the Santana influence, with its big sound, energetic tempo, and some crazy fingers on that lead guitar. Great job! |
|
| Caught You Runnin' by WRG | 2 years ago |
Great song, WRG! Love that bopping beat. Very upbeat and I like the hook of the refrain. |
|
| Aliens Are Dancing on the Milky Way (the music video) by Joanna | 2 years ago |
| Thanks you! I watched your Alien Dance, Woody, and it was much more high tech. I did mine via the old fashioned "draw a picture and change one tiny thing and then stack them up" method. Took a lot of drawings, but thank the Mac we have Appleworks. For anyone watching, play it for your kids. I have it on good authority that kids love this song. Oh, and if you want a better version of the song (because the sound quality isn't very good on the compressed video), click on my name and you'll see it's posted on the site. |
|
| Alien Dance ..3D animation...Happy 2006 by woodguy32 | 2 years ago |
That was a lot trickier than my alien video! CGI effects were very cool. Happy little alien who looks like he needs a good meal. I hear "To Serve Man" is really a cookbook. |
|
| 2S2S5S-5-Earth Sphere by DavidBowles | 2 years ago |
A beautiful piece of music with a mystical side to it. Very evocative and I love the idea of sound-mapping Musashi's work. Great job! |
