| What A Wonderful World by dirigent | 1 year ago |
 Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" is one of my favorite songs in all the world! I never tire of hearing it. This arrangement is beautiful and full of lovely, brilliant colors. Thank you for sharing it here  |

| Mirkwood Fires by stevenkeys | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for the comments on 'The Aspen Grove.' It brought me to your page, and title "Mirkwood Fires" immediately intrigued me (The Aspen Grove might as well have been named "Lothlorien" for the ethereal, otherworldly sort of atmosphere I was trying to evoke). Program music has always been a favorite of mine, and you've done a lovely job of telling a story with this composition--especially in adding the sound effects at the end. Thanks for sharing this here! |

Thank you! My highly-sensitive-self really appreciated the nuances and subtle tones of this anthem to peace...  |

| InEvitable (Blood Mix) by Mungo | 3 years ago |
"Inevitable" is one of my favorites of your compositions. This version is simply gorgeous, Bill! (I hear ethereal voices in the distance... ) |
|
| Void by Ironmonger | 3 years ago |
| This so reminds me of playing Myst and Riven (which is a good thing in my book). One brilliant thing about those games is that they had the power to transport you into new and amazing, mysterious places and allowed your imagination to 'fill in the blanks' of an unfamiliar world using ambient music and sound effects in addition to the surreal graphics. This composition does the same thing in introducing usual and unexpected sound textures. Very cool |
|
| Cancer and Wood No.1 by woodguy32 | 3 years ago |
| Aww, Woody, I'm so sorry to hear this news. I'll keep you in my thoughts and my prayers. You're right, too--music is a good way to help deal with the process, so I'm glad you're using that as an outlet. take care, Cat |

| sleeping (michael2 collab) by particledots | 3 years ago |
| You really need to make your songlist VISIBLE again, Bryn. We can't follow your music if we can't see it...and your music *deserves* to be followed. (there...I've said it) Now, everyone else tell Bryn to make his song list visible, too  And yes. This is an excellent collaboration....when it can be seen! |
|
| for cat by particledots | 3 years ago |
| A lovely, mysterious and intriguing composition. I love how it builds and 'approaches'...much like the excellent song art photo of the building clouds. I'm so fortunate to be able to collaborate with you as 'sonic magpie,' B |

| I'm Still Here by AudioIrony | 3 years ago |
| So cool to be part of this collab-- The lowered vox effects are such a trip! What I would have sounded like had I been born a contralto... Thanks for letting me put vocals to this one, B, and thanks for the fabulous mix, Brett! |
|
| the aspen grove by Mystified | 3 years ago |
| Thank you, all, for your comments here. They are greatly appreciated! This was one of those songs that I did mostly for myself, and it's nice to know others have enjoyed it, too! PaulFPage: thanks for the technical notes. I had considered the volume of the bass strings, but wasn't sure if they would be too overpowering. Again--thanks, all for listening and for leaving a comment |

|
| Cat's Coffee Shop by sonic_magpie | 3 years ago |
| The percussion in the first song is a rain stick ...one I actually got in Arizona last year, when Bryn and I first collaborated together in person. Thanks for listening and commenting |

| 17. Christmas SISCOM by THE_SISCOM_GURU | 3 years ago |
| feenixx--ooooh...I wanna hear the EVP you've found in your own recordings! (really!) Thanks, all, for the kind words! |
|
| 17. Christmas SISCOM by THE_SISCOM_GURU | 3 years ago |
| Hahah...it's cool to see this posted here! I once told Bryn that SISCOM could be put to so many different songs. It fit flawlessly with the Italian Art song, "Nina"...I just had to find a Christmas song that it would overlay well with... So, after narrowing it down to two possibilities, this is the song that I went with. I really didn't know how well it would work until I actually tried it. So, this is really sort of a test track that I sent to B. I'd love to further develop it into a Magpie track! Thank you for posting and sharing this, B!! |

| the road I travel by Mystified | 3 years ago |
| Thanks for all the comments here I appreciate the time you've taken to let me know that you've enjoyed this composition. A note about the piece in general. I did two piano improvisations--one right after the other. In the first improvisation, I'd worked out a melody/motif that I quite liked, but the piece didn't flow very well, and had a few sour notes and misguided chord progressions (lol). The second improvisation that I did took that motif and better shaped it into the song, and the main track, that you hear. The first half of this song is affected with a plug-in called "Vinyl" that adds static, distortion, and a bit of 'mechanical noise' or buzz--and generally makes the track sound like an old vinyl record. I did this purposely, symbolic of 'the road travelled,' or of the past. Halfway through the piece-- in the 'darker,' lower octave section--the effect is minimized and full eq range of the piano is restored, though occasionally 'pops' can be heard--a result of the heavy effects I've placed upon doubled tracks, or perhaps the backing track. I was going to find and eradicate those loud 'pops,' but then decided that the imperfections and randomness of them mirrored the very road that we all travel, and that they enhanced the fabric of the aural tapestry and the storytelling I intended. By the way--the first improvisation is present in this piece as a heavily modified synth 'reassignment' and the electronic 'chimes' you hear throughout. The primary piano track is doubled with a synth overtone that also weaves throughout via panning and volume adjustments. It's interesting that some listeners find the Vinyl effects distracting while others like them. In the end, I chose to present this song as a sort of 'storytelling' composition, with elements of nostaglia, light, dark, consonance and dissonance. It's selfish, in a way, because it doesn't always please the listener. But, in this 'musical journaling' composition, it well illustrates 'the road I travel.' Thanks again for listening and leaving your comments here! |

Love the chord progressions on this one. Very cool sonic affects from the warp of sound....yeah And, your vox matches the aural 'colors' of this perfectly. Nicely done! |

|
| To Remember and Forget by Balok | 3 years ago |
| Very nice...loved the way the piece grew and fell back again. There is a searching feeling to it, drawn forward by the strings. Lovely I like the titles offered above, as well. Nice to hear something from you again, Balok |

| 1987--Amorosi miei giorni by Mystified | 3 years ago |
| You know what is so strange in listening to this track? I wish that I could now (as a teacher) train that 23-year-old that I was in a way that would have 'reached' me. While I was never a natural performer, I think that I was convinced, (by some nay-saying professors) by the end of my college career, that I just was not a 'good' voice for classical music. Hearing this music file now, I can see the problems--but I also can see how I would have approached *me* in order to overcome them--and gain more confidence in my instrument. The one thing that I am very grateful for, however, in my transition since, is that at one time I was a vocalist singing to others' songs, while now I am actually composing my own songs and singing to them. So...the best of both worlds, after all was said (or sung) and done.... Thank you so much for your comments! |

|
| Shades of Blue by Mystified | 4 years ago |
| LOL on the mic comment. Did you have to add insult to injury? Some of us have to make do w/ the budget equipment. I'm happy to have a condenser mic at all I was using the pinhole mic on the iBook before...so that's a big step up for this non-pro singer! |

| Tuesday Morning by Mungo | 4 years ago |
magical, mysterious, and just a little scary I feel like I'm standing in an ancient place, and all around me are voices from the past, the present...and maybe even the future. Very cool |
|
| Time Traveler by Ignoramus | 4 years ago |
| Yes! Thank you all for these lovely comments I'm grateful that Jay gave me all the freedom I wanted to approach it from 'my angle,' as well as letting me mix the vocals to my liking. So yes...it's something of a hybrid, genre-wise, as I wasn't trying to sound like someone else. Sometimes it's just fun to drop your voice in an unexpected soundscape, and see if it works! Best of all, I had a lot of fun! Thanks again to Jay and Inappropriate Artists for a chance to get further outside the box! |

| Dreamlight by dirigent | 4 years ago |
This is exquisite. I love the sparse complement of the synthesizers interwoven with the vocals. Your voice is absolutely amazing. Every time I hear it, I'm humbled and inspired. Thank you |

| Court-eous Music by Mystified | 4 years ago |
| Thanks, all for the comments you've left here I really appreciate them! I'm pulling from my ever-waning memories of Music History and listening to songs of the Late Medieval/Early Renaissance period, so if it sounds close to accurate...hooray! And yes, these were songs I created from improvisations that I built starting with the lute software instrument. Thanks again for listening |

Wonderful interpretation of this song. There is something both ancient and modern here which captures so nicely the depth of these words and hopes. Beautiful. thank you! |
|
| O Come Emmanuel (Choirbox Mix) by Choirbox | 4 years ago |
Very cool interpretation of this song. One thing I do love about Christmas music--there are many ways to interpret songs, and this is one approach I would not have thought of myself, but which works beautifully! |

|
| In Echo of Emptiness by Mystified | 4 years ago |
| Get it wright? As in the Wright brothers? This song came about spontaneously. Improvised, expressionistic. I didn't spend a lot of time on it, and purposely so. Even in its imperfections--and perhaps because of them--it expresses what I want it to. And, therefore, it's how it's meant to be. Cheers for the comment |

| In Another Life (Jayman Version) by jayman | 4 years ago |
Thanks for all the very nice comments here... I'm glad that you posted up this version, jayman. It's lovely. The stars are for you and Matt. When Matt sent me a sketch instrumental of this song and asked if I would put some vocals down to it, it was a 'right time and place' instance, I suppose. It certainly helps to have reference to the things you're singing about... |
