| Atonalisms - Two by soulima | 7 days ago |
| Much enjoyed - glad the music sticks around for a little while, too. OIddly enough, the piece just does not come off as atonal as there seems to be much recurrence and continuity in pitch materials not unlike the music of Stravinsky's early ballet period. | |
| You Don't Know What Love Is by LaFayette | 9 days ago |
| Beautifully written, performed, and recorded. I would suggest just a touch of compression on the vocal as a few of the syllables get lost in the mix. | |
| Atonalisms - One by soulima | 9 days ago |
| Now that was really, really short. Good thing we can play again immediately. Lol! I swear there is a thread of tonality in there somewhere. Of course, human beings are apt to hear tonality even when the composer conceives it not - something to do with survival instinct. It is rare to combine large orchestral force with short utterance. Look forward to hearing followup movements. | |
| All Things Must Pass by Storkaas | 13 days ago |
| Beautifully mysterious. Superb production. | |
| In Pace (Remastered Version) by dirigent | 26 days ago |
| Species counterpoint moderne! | |
| Desperate Love (Ringtone) by FEAHM | 26 days ago |
| Like it! | |
| Welcome To The Movies by ShadowsOrcas | 29 days ago |
| Interesting panning. We would normally expect to hear the basses either to the right or non-directionally down the center but this does sound very fresh the way it is. Beautiful development as always and fantastic use of orchestral loops. Always appreciate your use of high contrast and of structural clarity. I hear a little lyrical James Horner in there as well. | |
| PUTTIN on the RITZ! by fatchance | 29 days ago |
| Great backing track, too. Did you play from a written chart or improvise as you went along. Also appreciate all the historical info. (Remember Taco's hip version from the 1980's?) |
|
| Heartbreak City by BossHook | 29 days ago |
| Fine song once again. Particularly enjoy your chord progressions which supply the backbone. | |
| Can I Keep You by HayleyDeakin | 1 month ago |
| I think I just fell in love. | |
| Homburg(cover) by eagle_1 | 1 month ago |
| Much enjoyed, especially the vocal doubling near the end. Have not heard this one for decades. Thanks for the reminder. |
|
| Effin Around by LaFayette | 1 month ago |
| Intriguing piece with engaging polytonal/polyphonic points of departure/Like it! | |
| INCIDENT/ACCIDENT by Barretok | 1 month ago |
| Classic Barretok. Especially like the instrumental work. | |
| Meditation(Autum Leafs) REMIX by guitar55 | 1 month ago |
| Sounds like a windy autumn day woth change in the air. A nice prelude to the big election coming up here in the States. Fingers crossed. | |
| Stay With Me (Live) by MessengerBoy | 1 month ago |
| Nothing quite like live performance and ambience. Good band, nice guitar. The vocal reminds me of George Michael, which means it is fantastic. | |
| Willard the Welder by Xolv | 1 month ago |
| Love that de-tuned sound. Is it piano, guitar, or some Carribean instrument? Very cool, indeed. Groovin' drums and bass, too. | |
| Enceladus Encounter by feenixx | 1 month ago |
| Outstanding combination of timbres. Imaginative, beautifully recorded. Nive drummin', too. | |
| I Heard You (Hear Me by j0j0) by pete | 1 month ago |
| This really sounds great, guys: Grateful Dead vocals, intriguing background sounds, perfect acoustic strummin'. More of a 60's vibe for me, perhaps even a taste of Jefferson Airplane. | |
| He's A Good Chap by dirigent | 1 month ago |
| Contemporary Early Music: what a concept! | |
| Lovesick Blues by pharmakeus | 1 month ago |
| Like it a lot. I would go a little more sparse on that lead guitar which tends to dominate a bit. Just a thought. Much enjoyed! |

| Close To Hell (The Final Pact) by FEAHM | 1 month ago |
| Soundtrack to Dante's Inferno! | |
| STILL THE ONE by KCsGROOVE | 1 month ago |
| Great snap on that snare! Synth strings arrive right on time. Takes me back to the 70's. | |
| Excerpts from 'Star Wars' by soulima | 1 month ago |
| Totally neat, and a whole lotta work I bet. I wonder if the recording might benefit from a few touches of reverb on certain instruments to capture something of that three-dimensional space you hear in live situation (some instruments closer and others farther away). Are you working from a John Williams score? If so, where did you get it? | |
| I WON`T GO - final by dr_elvis01 | 1 month ago |
| Big and fascinating! | |
| Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration part I by Storkaas | 2 months ago |
| Speechless. | |
| Goodbye Charlie by BossHook | 2 months ago |
| Much enjoyed. A little "I Shot the Sheriff" sound, albeit different lyric sentiment- Life and Death still the same. | |
| Meditation by ShadowofNine | 2 months ago |
| Absolutely delicious. | |
| Holy Holy (Jimmy Owens by GPT and MB) by ddball | 2 months ago |
| Unexpected but very moving juxtaposition of images. Thanks so much for completing the circle. | |
| Holy Holy (For ddball) by MessengerBoy | 2 months ago |
| Very heartfelt and beautiful. Reminds me of going to folkmass back in the 60's. I miss the simple idealism of those times. Request: we need to hear more of this stuff. | |
| My Cherie Amour by hiphopmoses | 2 months ago |
| Great "all around the piano" vocal arrangement. Much enjoyed. | |
| Gangsta by LWinston | 2 months ago |
| Great clear, rhythm track. Has a little of the Brian Culbertson sound. | |
| new baby by Dee1962z | 2 months ago |
| Nice weave of sounds and loops. Could possibly be extended and developed. | |
| walking in Memphis [cover] by eagle_1 | 2 months ago |
| Particualrly like the mix of background vocals. I wonder if there might be a little more bass guitar mixed in although the exposed kick is very effective for short stretches. | |
| The loyal roughhewn hooters by MishaThaler | 2 months ago |
| Beautiful sound construct. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Tower Of Power by ShadowofNine | 2 months ago |
| Great horn dynamics! Love that punchy snare as well. | |
| Fly Catcher by barryj21 | 2 months ago |
| Nice energy. Reminds of those early Beatles' demos found on Anthology 1 which were influenced by Buddy Holly as well as the Everly Brothers. | |
| Santa Cruz by guitar55 | 2 months ago |
| Layed back California sound and wonderful tribute to one of our favorite spots here close to home. (The Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk is located about 60 milews south of San Francisco.) |

| no hope for me by tireiron | 2 months ago |
| Heartfelt and absolutely touching. | |
| La Catedral Preludio by VieuxCarre | 2 months ago |
| Beautiful track and love your description linking creation with time, place, and mind. | |
| Bye,Bye by ShadowofNine | 2 months ago |
| Love the softness of the voice against the grit of the guitars. Nice percussive touch as well. Beautiful development as usual. |
|
| Soul Bird by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| Raw, real emotion. Takes me back to those idealistic times. Thanks for the trip. | |
| The End of Sickness and Death by Justin_Case | 3 months ago |
| The struggle of this existence captured "beautifully." Love hearing those oft-neglected microtones and those rich layers of complex overtones. Very archaic and modern at the same time (alla Harry Partch, perhaps). | |
| Living Forest by pete | 3 months ago |
| Little eastern-Indian thing (drumming, drone bass, inflected scales) going on here. Much enjoyed. | |
| One Two by Four [school band] by davidsmith99 | 3 months ago |
| Like it! Sounds like there might be many opportunities for snare drum reinforcement, cymbals, and bass drum. The added frequency range would really strengthen the impact as well. | |
| Until the End by Ziur | 3 months ago |
| Congratulations for upgrading to Logic Pro Studio. This sounds great. I hear some of your signature harmonic progressions here. | |
| Zoomorphisms - Bull Frogs by soulima | 3 months ago |
| Always enjoy the Stravinsky-Piazolla (tango) connection in your music even when I'm sure it's the last thing on your mind. | |
| Everytime by k6 | 3 months ago |
| Relaxed and mellow mood. Love that fadeout! | |
| Lazybones by dirigent | 3 months ago |
| Great dance track; funny, too. | |
| Pentatonic fun by telo12 | 3 months ago |
| Delightful! | |
| Trooper's Serenade by dirigent | 4 months ago |
| Beautiful as usual but I wonder if it could use a touch of reverb. | |
| Original Rags (1897) by georgeptingley | 4 months ago |
| A and B sections are in the key of G major. The C section is in C major. The return of the A section, of course, brings us back to G major. The D section is in D major and the final E section returns full circle back to G major. Overall, the piece begins in the tonic key (G major) moves to the subdominant key (C major) returns back to the tonic, moves to the dominant key (D major) before finally resolving back to the tonic Relationship of keys should be thought of in the following way: Dominant (by definition, the 5th above the tonic) Tonic Subdominant (by definition, the 5th below the tonic)) Notice the beautiful symmetry of keys! |
|
| Piano Exercises by telo12 | 4 months ago |
| I hear those common chords which effect smooth modulations to dominant and subdominant keys. One of the saddest notes in all of music, of course, is bringing in the lowered 6th scale degree into a major key. We hear a few of those as well. Nice chordal demonstration. | |
| Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D Major) by soulima | 4 months ago |
| Thanks for setting the record straight on the proper performance of this piece. Additionally, Baroque composers most often reserved the key of D major for joyous and enlivening material. (Shame on Mr. Paillard! LOL) | |
| Hallelujah (Cover W/Dylan) by fromano | 4 months ago |
| Great live sound; perfect collab of talents. | |
| Adieu Oh Lovely Spring [recorders] by davidsmith99 | 4 months ago |
| Much more effective and moving in this recorder version. I imagine you could also arrange this piece for large cathedral organ as well. | |
| Adieu Oh Lovely Spring [for brass] by davidsmith99 | 4 months ago |
| Always refreshing to hear something a little different here, especially in the modal-early music realm. Perhaps you are aware that there is a quite active EARLY MUSIC SOCIETY in the SF Bay Area sometimes sponsoring competitions for such music. | |
| Duke's Blues by Bass2x | 4 months ago |
| Perfectly reverbed trumpet sound over an engaging rhythm employing some excellent half-timing. | |
| Waltz for Diverse Plucked Strings by byHeart | 4 months ago |
| Really lovely work. I've also been doing a bit of work with plucked strings as of late. Something very intimate about the sound. Contrasts between guitar and harp, dry and reverb, simple and complex harmony work beautifully here. You might consider upgrading to LogicExpress to access guitars with some very realistic scratches and scrapes. |
|
| Etude by k6 | 4 months ago |
| Good title; excellent piece. | |
| Technopop by GarageBandClass | 4 months ago |
| Nice start; needs to continue growing and developing, bringing in new layers of instruments and rhythms. | |
| Jam Down (country Swing) by ShadowofNine | 4 months ago |
| Always refreshing to hear a bit of Americana coming through here on iComps if you know what I mean. Their is such a rich history that should not be simply ignored or forgotten. Hope this is just the beginning of such productions and that there might be more to come. Only criticism is that the recording sounds mono and would greatly profit from some panning. It would be nice to be able to visualize and hear the placement of the various instruments on the sound stage. | |
| The World's Messiah by dirigent | 4 months ago |
| Beautiful, original work; Handel re-imagined for the modern world. | |
| MIRROR by Barretok | 4 months ago |
| Very neat Ornette Coleman sax sound, trademark Barretok congas. (Only loops?) | |
| Sweet Girl by dirigent | 4 months ago |
| Modern day Tess beautifully rendered and scored. | |
| My heart by brnPetra | 4 months ago |
| Much enjoyed. Can imagine a big heavy metal backup on this one (no kidding). | |
| Salon Music - Movement Two - Final by soulima | 5 months ago |
| This almost has a Piazolla tango sound with the winds comparable to a bandonean, the Argentine accordion which itself is really a wind instrument. |
|
| Dancecompany 1. by guitar55 | 5 months ago |
| Some of that African-influence. Multi-layered polyrhythms (as mentioned above) will inspire dancers to move in contrasting, independent steps - a real treat for the choreographer. | |
| Blitz by ShadowofNine | 5 months ago |
| Absolutely groovin'. Intense, imaginative, and grounded all at the same time. | |
| Evening-Song by dirigent | 5 months ago |
| With the sun just setting here, had to listen a second time. Just lovely. | |
| Evening-Song by dirigent | 5 months ago |
| My favorite Romantic music is that which shows the greatest restraint- in both time and resources, miniatures in which every note is heard and experienced. This is it. | |
| Tribute to Lou Rawls by morgan102 | 5 months ago |
| Good voice. Wish the lead voice had a little more presence. You might consider copying the track, then panning the two voice tracks apart and applying some contrasting EQ. Also add a little reverb or delay to one of the tracks. Worth experimenting. Best wishes. | |
| God Bless the Child by Xolv | 5 months ago |
| Much enjoyed. | |
| Zoomorphisms - Tiger Shark by soulima | 5 months ago |
| Brilliant work. Sounds like I'm sitting right in front of the orchestra. (I used to have a first row seat and still remember that sound well.) | |

| Whatcha Say? by RAVENS | 5 months ago |
| Makes my heart race sexy; great piano obligato, too. | |
| Guitar Concerto, mov3 by davidsmith99 | 5 months ago |
| Engaging, intricate music indeed. You might consider cutting some of the mids say around 500Hz to reduce some of that inevitable buildup. Do you use the EQ analyzer? | |

| Bad Bad Whisky by Xolv | 6 months ago |
| Much enjoyed. Stylistically, Texas-born and somewhat forgotten Amos Milburn (1927-1980) evolved from the 40's blues and boogie scene. He is considered one of the founders of rock and roll. Unfortunately, the whisky got to him in the end. YouTube - Amos Milburn, a forgotten giant.webloc |
