| Protocol by becwil | 1 year ago |
| Hi Rebecca - creeping round you site - thought I had better own up this time in case you caught me again. A great piece - I love the words used in some of the comments made..... Bellissimo has got to be a good start Mirerious - I would love someone to describe one of my pieces as mirerious - I believe it actually refers to a condition of the nasal passages - the stage between completely blocked and free flowing that comes at that point in an upper respiratory tract infection when things start to loosen up a little - my left nostril is slightly more mirerious than the right one - true praise indeed but be careful where you sneeze. But then again it could be a typing error. Mikrokosmos - another great word as is otherworldly. Really like the piece - very nicely put together and I liked the awkwardness of it all - never quite settling into a comfort zone. Talk to you soon, Howard |

| SISCOM/EVP - time slowed and stopped (preliminary rough mix) by particledots | 1 year ago |
| Hi Sarah, Long time no talky...... you have gathered up an awful lot of talent on this one - great vibe to it - when will we get the final version? By the way the track you contributed to is still my biggest "hit" Best wishes, Howard |

| I Will Give by tytdie | 1 year ago |
| Another really nice song - very well delivered. HOWARD |

| Well Worth the Wait by tytdie | 1 year ago |
| Hi Tytdie, Really enjoyed the track - very well played and put together. Made me think of REM a bit and Snow Patrol a lot so you are in good company. Best wishes, Howard |

| Kyrie by Mystified | 1 year ago |
| Hi Mysti., This song is beautiful and your voice is the same. One of my favourite artists ever is Beth Nielsen Chapman - she has a lovely voice too. Most of her work is nothing like this song. However she has done an album called "Hymns". Your piece would fit in very nicely to that album and you would give her a run for her money in a singing contest. Well done and so to the iPod! Best wishes, Howard |

| OPEN COLLAB (acoustic guitars) by Ignoramus | 1 year ago |
| I will take Geechi3's lead and call you Jay - Ignoramus is such an unbecoming name. I downloaded your piece and I really like the idea of you offering it up for collaboration. The biggest problem with it is that it is about 10 minutes too short. I have added some piano and a little bit of horn - a bit rough on my part but I am winding down for my holidays so I don't want to get too picky. I think your guitar sound is lovely - clean and fresh and simple. I found it a lot easier to follow than I might have expected too - simple is good. I will post my version to my page (howardjackson) so you can have a listen and I will watch out for other offerings. Thanks for posting it. Best wishes, Howard Jackson |

| Echoes of Yesterday by howardjackson | 1 year ago |
| Hi Haven, Thanks for your comment - as you can see comments are pretty thin on the ground. I always like to get some feedback and it is interesting to look at the comments of other people in contrast to my piano teacher. My piano teacher produces meditative music and he also runs meditation classes (he specialises in it). He actually really liked this piece - and that feels good because when he does not like what I have done he tells me in no uncertain terms! What he says about meditation music is that it's job is to create an atmosphere without being intrusive. It is almost like a picture frame for a painting - if you notice the frame, it is detracting from the painting. So the advice I got from my teacher is - keep it simple/ non -intrusive/ minimalist. What is interesting is where you mention about using some more brass. Just before sending you this message I have written to Bass2x asking if he would be able to put a trumpet track to another of my semi meditative pieces - spooky! So thanks again for taking the time to send me a comment. If you are interested in doing something together I am more than happy to give it a try. I have listened to some of your work and I think I sent you a couple of comments a few days ago - especially Tubular Bells which I listened to this evening when I was walking the dog. I really like it but sadly it is about 17minutes too short! Best wishes, Howard |

| Ashley's Journey by Haven | 1 year ago |
| Hi Haven, I am just listening to Ashley's Journey and have read the lyrics. Very sad. Right through my childhood I wanted a dog and was denied that pleasure by parents who thought it might be a passing phase. I don't think it would have been. Anyway as I was coming to the end of my degree course in 1976 I made the decision that whatever life might bring I was going to have a dog. I did a bit of research and thought about a few different breeds. I wanted a dog that was reasonably rugged that could accompany me on long Salmon fishing day. However at the time my transport was a Honda 90. I don't know where you are from or if Honda 90's (90cc) traveled to your part of the world but it was a very small morebike (scooter) that got me to school /college and the river. Any dog that I got had to be small enough to travel in a canvas bag that hung from my neck. Sally travelled thousands of miles in the bag and was my constant companion for ten years (after the first year or two I got a car so life became easier). She had pups and my mum and dad had one of them - Bess. I never really came to terms with the fact that they had denied me a dog for a lifetime and yet had one of Sally's pups at the first time of asking. I still have a soft spot for Cocker Spaniels despite the fact that they are filthy creatures. I now have a Jack Russell Terrier which is much cleaner. So sorry to hear about Ashley, Best wishes, Howard |

| Tubular Dance 2007 (Cover) by Haven | 1 year ago |
| Hi Haven, I have listened to Tubular Bells consistently for over 30 years and I love it. I wouldn't have said I had any great need for a reworked version because I am more than happy with the original but hey I love your version too. It is going straight to my iPod where it will find a good home. Best wishes, Howard |

| Norwegian Sunset by Bass2x | 1 year ago |
| Lovely, atmospheric piece and I particularly like the tone of the trumpet. Howard |
|
| Hold On by sqrrl624 | 1 year ago |
| Hi SQ, Really nicely put together track - balanced and structured and very much right for some lyrics. On the downside I don't think that the end of the tracks fits so well. It seems to go off in a different area. But I liked the drums etc. Howard |
|
| One Night Off Duke's Boulevard (An Urban Tale) by mbehar | 1 year ago |
| Hi Mori, This is a really unusual and different piece with an excellent atmospheric quality - sweaty, sleazy and menacing. Is James playing a real horn? - it sounds fabulous - if it is a Garageband instrument - could you let me know what it is? The other question is - how old are you? - strange question maybe but listening to this piece has made me think that you are younger than I did. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| A Ghost Rider's Keepsake(Live) by GhostRiders3 | 1 year ago |
| Hi Guys, I had a good listen to your track and it took me back to the 70's - Yes, Man, etc. After a while it started to get a bit repetitious and it struck me that your work could be a really good launch pad to go into other instruments - maybe like Pink Floyd - synths or strings or piano etc....... I would be interested in having a go to try to put in some other sections. But you have said No derivative works allowed. Let me know if you want to do something. Best wishes, Howard |

| Cover-Roxanne by DavidBowles | 1 year ago |
| Hi David, Roxanne was not one of my favourite Police tracks but I really enjoyed your version - more than the original. Best wishes, Howard |

| Hi Sarah, Something of a shock to the system - I had another listen to Trail of Tears and then I was straight into this - wow! Very different. Best wishes, Howard |

| the lights across the lake (instrumental) by Mystified | 1 year ago |
| Hi Mysti., A lovely and very emotional piece - beautiful cello and piano but it was completely ruined because it was just screaming out for a vocal to come in...... - only kidding! - can't wait for the follow up version. I feel inspired to have a go at something similar. As ever your work is a knockout. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Waves by particledots | 1 year ago |
| Hi Folks, This song is lovely. The production is incredibly clean and the voices work so well together. The bass is too much for me at times but overall a marvelous piece. Howard |
|
| Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen by ssstebbe | 1 year ago |
| Once again - nice tune, very well played. Re. longdistance collaboration...... A few years ago when I discovered that major artists would record their individual parts on opposite sides of the country I was very surprised and I thought the whole thing was a bit distasteful because I felt that real connection demanded that musicians should be in the same room and able to see the whites of each others eyes. In a way I still think that but for hundreds of thousands of less famous/ rich performers and composers the long distance thing is brilliant. I have done a track with Jeff D. Elliot from Canada and another with Wakegirlsarah from California Bay. I am hoping to something with Richter (London) so it is conceivable that I could meet him sometime. iCompositions/ Garageband opens so many doors and provides a tremendous amount of stimulation (but if you are listening Stevie Wonder - you can afford to get in the same room as your band). Best wishes, Howard Howard |

| It Is Well With My Soul by ssstebbe | 1 year ago |
| Hi again, Lovely music well played. It would be nice to hear the children too. Do you find it a little frustrating that this piece has been played nearly 1300 times and 43 times in the last week and noone has commented for 6 months. At least now you can say you have had a comment very recently! Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Oh Susannah piano jazz by ssstebbe | 1 year ago |
| Hi SSS, I came across your name in a comment that you made about Keith Jarrett who I like a lot. Some of my stuff sounds a bit like him e.g. Eau de Cologne Concert - my first iComposition upload. I really liked this version of Oh Suzannah - reminds me of the old cowboy films I used to watch when I was a boy. Best wishes, Howard |

| ring a ring a road trip by tomsacold | 1 year ago |
| Oh My God, The traffic in Melbourne must be pretty bad. There a film starring Michael Douglas called "Falling Down" - about a man who gets fired, loses the plot and starts killing people - it doesn't sound brilliant but it is a surprisingly good film. Ring a ring would make a good sound track for it. I liked the piece - alterrnative and different and nicely put together. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Run For My life by pandasdontdance | 1 year ago |
| Hi Guys, Really enjoyed the song - very powerfully played, great vocals, knockout production - all round very strong. One slight suggestion - you need to find a new name for the band "pandasdontdance, Ignoramus and LeonaLeva" -it just doesn't work for me! Best wishes, Howard |

| ONE NIGHT SAME AS THE OTHER NIGHT by Barretok | 1 year ago |
Hi B., Really enjoyed the song - you deserve all the attention that you are getting. Best wishes, Howard |

| Thanks again - I'll have a look at the velocity. Night night - Howard | |
| WE SHALL BE FIRST. DnB by ghost | 1 year ago |
| Sorry Ghost, You probably think I am mad. I went into Richter's tunes and instead of listening to one of his pieces I went into one of his favourites which is this tune - the comment about the production still holds true because it does sound great but the stuff about working together applied to Richter not you - though on listening to this piece I would be interested. Confused? - me too. Howard |
|
| WE SHALL BE FIRST. DnB by ghost | 1 year ago |
| Hi Richter, I am a bit confused about your name - a lot of people are referring to you as ghost - I assume I have got the right guy. I have got to say I feel very flattered that you are keen to do some work with me when I read the comments on this piece. I think the ideas and the production are absolutely great. Looking forward to putting something together with you. Best Wishes, Howard |

| the journey out by j0j0 | 1 year ago |
| A lovely, relaxed, nice piece to listen to. Great combination of instruments that work together so well. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Promenade in Galleria by annamaria | 1 year ago |
| Hi Annamaria, Same comment from me - really enjoyed the track and I think your vocal would fit very nicely with some of the piano music that I do which is influenced by Keith Jarrett (Jazz/ Classical pianist). Have a listen to my own Eau de Cologne Concert and see if you think you could weave your vocals through something like that. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Galactica (crazy a-cappella cover) by annamaria | 1 year ago |
| Hi Annamaria, I liked this track very much - it is a bit weird and strange and alternative. A little while ago I started to put a note on my tunes saying that I would like to work with some female vocalists to do some alternative things and maybe move in the direction of Bjork. If you are interested in working together let me know - you could listen to some of my tunes and then see what you think. I hopoe to hear from you, Best wishes, Howard |
|
| sadness by colalucaenzo | 1 year ago |
| Lovely, expressive, emotional music which was really nice to listen to. I enjoyed it a lot. For the future I think it would be good if your transition from one section to another is smoother - sometimes there is quite a jump from one nice part to the next nice part - just the little bit in between could be worked on. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Cu tte o senz' e te (U2 cover) by fromano | 1 year ago |
| Hi, I enjoyed the song. I liked the bit that sounded like U2 because they are brilliant but I also liked the new approach that you both brought to it. I also like the sound of Italian voices singing in English - makes a bit of a change from Opera which is usually the other way round. Well done, Howard |

| Waiting For Christmas / Fingerstyle Guitar and Backround Sound by TheTiler | 1 year ago |

| Leventania (The Underground Scene) Part 3 {Cosmopolitan Harbor Mix} Instrumental by Jovana | 2 years ago |
| Hi Jovana, I liked this piece - really well structured and the production is excellent. I would like to have seen it get a lot bigger/ louder/ punchier in the middle - which I am sure you can do. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Im not a Blues Boy, Im a Blues Man by Dallas | 2 years ago |
| Hi Dallas, A nice beefy tune and you play very well. The photgraph does not seem to fit - the tune suggests ZZ Top - how about growing a 2 foot beard and getting a pair of shades. Best wishes, Howard Check out my website www.howardjackson.org.uk |

| Variations (Andrew Lloyd Webber Cover) by RichieEastside | 2 years ago |
| Hi Richie, This was a bit of a disappointment - not because I didn't like it - the problem was that just as I was getting into it it stopped - I was ready for a lot more - longer version next time? Very good sound and control. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| The Pond by DrasticDragonfly | 2 years ago |
| Hello Drastic, I liked the control you had over your loops and the slow intro. and build up but as the piece went on I thought it could have been bigger and louder in the middle. I was waiting for a little bit more. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Graveyard Symphony by baro | 2 years ago |
| Some really nice themes especially the one that is based on the funeral march - it comes in around three quarters of the way through the piece. But overall there is too much going on - too many sections and it looses direction. Maybe reduce the number of sections and try to stay closer to one or two themes. Best wishes, Howard |

| Dancing Barefoot by PowerMatt | 2 years ago |
| Hi granz - thanks for your comment on one of my tunes. Patti Smith has been a great favourite of my partner since the 70's and recently I heard the remake 25 years on of Horses (Ithink) - it hsa got to be said that Patti is wearing very well - musically at least. Best wishes, Howard |

| Dungeons in the Secret Castle II by Mystified | 2 years ago |

| Sorry forgot to tell you that my e mail address is jacksonhjay@aol.com |
|
| ship of fire by thompson | 2 years ago |
| Hi Thompson - sounds a bit formal...... I have done a little bit of work on Ship of Fire in the form of a couple of piano tracks that I think fit quite nicely. I only had the track in an MP3 version so I could not adjust the mix of your song and I have not done any mixing on my tracks. If you let me have an e mail address I will send you the Garageband file and you can see what you think. Sorry I don't do sax or theremin drone (I would be interested to know what one of those is). Hope to hear from you, Best wishes, Howard |

|
| Little Girl by Geechi3 | 2 years ago |
| Hi Geechi, I love your voice and the way you use it. My own preference would be that you should bring the voice forward (make it louder) against the instruments/ loops. It seems to be quite common on iComp that the voices are a little bit crowded out by the instruments. Maybe that is because people start with the instruments and then invite in a singer. For me (especially with your voice) the vocals need to be bigger. But still absolutely fab. Best wishes, Howard |

| Ball and Biscuit by BountyHunted101 | 2 years ago |
| Hello again Bounty, I was song skipping on my iPod and I came across this track that I downloaded when you first posted it. I still like it a lot and wondered if you would be prepared to e mail me the Garageband file so I could add something to it myself. I could do something with the MP3 version but a GB file would be better. My e mail address is jacksonhjay@aol.com and it would be good to hear from you. Isn't it about time you shared something else with iCompositions? Best wishes, Howard |

| Turnabout by makpiano88 | 2 years ago |
| Hi, Liked the piece - when the chords went a bit left field it started to sound like it was from Planet Madness (on the shelf next to mine). Have a listen to some of my stuff - I like things to go quite loose too. Best wishes, Howard |

| Such a competent performance - where do the songs come from - do you compose the music and lyrics yourself? Howard |
|
| Eachday by Natural_Selection | 2 years ago |

| Town at my heels by DayForNight | 2 years ago |
| Hi to you all - I loved this song - it works so well and the voices work so well together - marvelous! (Hang on while it start it playing again). I'm back again.... To make it even better I would like to hear Mysti "go off on a one" during her solo bits - bigger/ louder/ shoutier/ screamier...... Just go for it. Brill. Howard |

| Pachyderm Sunset by becwil | 2 years ago |
| Hi Becwil, I talked to you a couple of months ago when I spotted that you had used an image of a bridge in one of you photographs. You sent me some nice comments so thanks for them. This piece is very spooky and the feel of India/ the East is so strong. It also sheds light on the meaning of Pachyderm. I am pretty sure that Joni Mitchell uses it in one of her songs (Hissing of Summer Lawns album or round about that time). I never bothered to look it up in the dictionary then but I have now. I loved the elephant story - amazing and terrifying at the same time. But it did make me wonder what you do for a living because I don't think I have ever come across anyone who seems to travel so much and so widely? Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Shenandoah by Mystified | 2 years ago |
| Hi Mystified, I have always loved this song and you have done it very well - piano and voice are so consistent throughout the song (which is a long one). As a matter of interest is the photograph taken from a bridge over the River Spey near Grantown? I used to fish near there and the shot feels very familiar. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Amazing Grace by Mystified | 2 years ago |
| Great voice - lovely singing - Howard | |
| Lost Moments, Mystified by Mystified | 2 years ago |
| Hi, Lovely piece and a great combination of talent. I know that you are busy but I would love to try to put some of my music to one of your vocal tracks. If you have anything on the shelf that you are prepared to let me have I would love to give it a try. Yours hopefully, Howard |
|
| To the Sea by Mystified | 2 years ago |
| You must be really happy with the comments that you have received. It is the first time that I have heard your music and I enjoyed it very much. Best wishes, Howard |

|
| Castle theme by DaedraLarsa | 2 years ago |
| Hi D., You have a really nice sound and loads of potential. There are several themes in the piece and they don't always fit together - it feels like it would be a good idea for you to pick one of those themes and repeat it and develop it - louder, bigger.... Welcome to iComp and best wishes, Howard |

| Ball and Biscuit by BountyHunted101 | 2 years ago |
| Hi Bounty, Like the tune - nice controlled structure to it - if you are new to iCompositions good luck - I have found it a really nice place to be - if you are interested in doing something by way of a collaboration have a listen to my stuff - your structure and me being all over the place just might work...... Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Left Skewed--Mystified by Mystified | 2 years ago |
| Hi Mystified, I really like this tune - edgy and different but relaxed too. I am looking for a female vocalist to add something different to my own tunes - some of the them sound nice but they can be a bit unstructured and difficult to get round. Have a listen - if you are interested let me know. Best wishes, Howard |

| Streaming Conscienceness Mind Expansion Programme by wakegirlsarah | 2 years ago |
| Hi Sarah - have a look at my first message to you - I think it's really spooky that I said the stuff about wanting to do something involving weird/ alternative vocals and then I listen to this track which is weird/ alternative vocals. Howard |
|
| Trail of Tears by wakegirlsarah | 2 years ago |
| Hi Sarah, Thanks for sharing this song which I really enjoyed. You have got a really nice voice which reminds me a bit of the woman in Capercaillie. I particularly liked the backing vocals which are really haunting. You have got some brilliant comments and you need to get some confidenence from them. Use that confidenence to bring your voice further forward in the mix which is music talk (I think) for making your voice louder and the instruments quieter - that would make the vocals that little bit more powerful. I would be interested in seeing if I could add anything with a little bit of background piano. If you fancy a try at that would you e mail the Garageband file to me at jacksonhjay@a0l.com - it is very early days for me in terms of collaboration but I would like to give it a go. The other point is that at my piano lesson last night I said to my teacher that I would like to do something with a female vocalist that was very alternative and I quoted Bjork as an example. I would be interested in someone putting a floating vocal to one of my piano pieces - not so much a song as a vocal tune - edgy, maybe a bit weird. If you are interested in giving it a go we could learn together. Let me know. I am going on holiday at the end of this week so if you do reply I may not be able to get back to you for around 3 weeks. Best wishes, Howard |

| You will forget by ferrancastella | 2 years ago |
| Hello Ferrancastella, I liked the song - I am 51 years old and it takes me back to around 1976 when Punk started. There was a short section around two thirds into the song which I don't think fits very well but I do like the rest of it. Best of luck with iComp. Howard |
|
| Crazy Like That by shanman | 2 years ago |
| Hello again Shanman This is very different from the other piece I listened to - good beat, and your voice comes over really strongly - wish I could sing. Good tune. Howard |
|
| Right Where I Belong by shanman | 2 years ago |
| Hi Shanman Welcome to iComp. I liked your voice and the way you delivered the song and the guitar sounds really nice. It is my own preference but I liked the single voice better than when you overlaid it a second time. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Indian Science by leoinc | 2 years ago |
| Hi Ieoinc Nice sound and well put together - it could do with another section that is bigger/ noisier/ more powerful. Welcome to iComp - hope you get some good feedback. Howard |
|
| Robust Standard Errors by grandtheory | 2 years ago |
| Hello again - similar comment to my other one - it needs to develop and grow bigger even if it is just more volume - you obvioulsy know what you are doing and you have got the control - use it to go for a huge effect. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Electric Kool-Aid Hausman Test by grandtheory | 2 years ago |
| Hi Grandtheory I liked your tune - balanced and competent - well organised - I would have liked it to go massive somewhere in the middle. Good luck with iComp. Best wishes, Howard |

| Spies by ciheins | 2 years ago |
| Hi Ciheins Listened to one or two of your tunes before- if you are not happy with Spies (which sounds OK to me) what about...... "The Elements and the Fundaments" Like most of the best titles it leaves you with more questions than answers and means very little - let me know if you use it - titles come to me quite easily - its the music I have a problem with. Best wishes, Howard |
|
| Upside Down (Jack Johnson) by sideburnsbob | 2 years ago |
| Hi Sideburns I have not heard the original but your version is really nice. Do you do your own original stuff - if you can strip this sort of thing down and build it up from scratch it sounds like you could just start from scratch in the first place. Enjoyed the tune. Howard |
|
| Beating Heart by RottenApple | 2 years ago |
| Hi Rooten I saw that you had downloaded one of my tunes - hope you enjoyed it. Had a listen to some of yours. I am not big on DnB either and I don't do a great deal with loops. Beating Heart is a good start - for me it needs to get bigger and louder as it develops but I did like the sections. I noticed on some of your tunes that they are in aif format. You probably know but MP£ is much quicker to upload and to open up on iComp. Good luck, Howard |

| Hi Calamari Welcome to iComp. I joined last week and I thought it was great to get comments from as far afield as Australia and New York - I am from England. Your tune sounded a bit like Pete Gabriel - just needed a screeching voice in the background. Good luck Howard |

| Cheekin' Your Meds by KDMan | 2 years ago |
| KDMan Liked this one - a bit of Lou Reed, Steely Dan, Frank Zappa - with a mix like that maybe you've been cheeking your own meds. Howard |

| Heard Sociopath for the first time - really nice voice and good singer. Not necessarily my kind of music but I'll move on to another track. Howard |
