| Blue Wind by kpenson | 1 year ago |
| Thanks everyone..... for the comments. The drums were manually played from the keyboard..no looping or sequencer but some quantizing. All instruments played from the keyboard)I use a M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 (weighted action)and a Motif ES 6 for it's synth action(pressure senitive keyboard) | |
| Skulgaria by kpenson | 1 year ago |
| The reverb was added during the initial recording (from the Motif) not afterwards. The bulk of the file size can be attributed to the 320kb bit rate at which it was recorded. | |
| Skulgaria by kpenson | 1 year ago |
| The drums were played and quantized from the keyboard using a patch from the Motif. TG, do you think the reverb is excessive? The file, which was recorded at a 320kb bit rate was originally 92mb in size. The iComposition server compressed it down to 20mb. |

| Mo Better by kpenson | 1 year ago |
| With the sax I had to bend with the wheel and ribbon controllers and add a volume envelope at the beginning and end of some of the notes. The trumpet was much easier to control which was set to monophonic while the sax was polyphonic. |
|
| Mo Better by kpenson | 1 year ago |
| Using the sounds available on the Motif is best I do for now. With all of the slides and bends I suspect the sax is quite a challenge to duplicate with any synthesizer/sampler. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Superstitious by kpenson | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for listening Rob. Most of the time I get caught-up in duplicating too much of the original song rather than adding my own flavor. | |
| River People by kpenson | 1 year ago |
| To Absynth: The original song started in E then ended in F. All listeners: I was so excited about making this version of River People I forgot about the melody in the begining. Stay tuned for another version. I also have two other original songs that will be released soon. Thank you so much for listening. King |

| The One I Love by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| I have not heard the original, but your version sounds like it could be the original. Very nice - Thanks | |
| Moonlight Sonata by kpenson | 2 years ago |
| Thank you so much for the comments. This was the song that peaked my interest in classical music - so I had to learn it (by ear of course). | |
| Rock Candy by kpenson | 2 years ago |
| Liquidsound - Thanks - I may take you up on that soon. | |
| Mrs Jones by kpenson | 2 years ago |
| My first instrument was a drum set, which I studied and played for 5 years. I hope to purchase a used set one day soon. | |
| Mrs Jones by kpenson | 2 years ago |
| The bass voice is called MidRngFngr. The Motif ES is my favorite keyboard. Roland has better synth sounds though. | |
| Dr Fink by Naaji | 3 years ago |
 Great song, sounds like you were in a professional studio. Hope you mind if I download it. Thanks for listening to my latest. |
|
| Like a Star by Xolv | 3 years ago |
Great sound, I wish I could afford more time to enhance my creativity. I would really like to be more versatile in creating songs of this type. Thanks |
|
| Funking UP by kpenson | 3 years ago |
| Thank you all so much for listening. Yes, I was using a Motif ES8 exclusively. I may finish this song sometime in the near future. | |
| RAMSEL - Free(netic) Love by RAMZAR | 3 years ago |
| Ramzar, very interesting piece - inspiration for me to try something different. Thanks | |
| Churchfunk by kpenson | 3 years ago |
| Thank you very much for listening. King | |
| RAMSEL "TropicalBrainWave" by RAMZAR | 4 years ago |
| Very nice guys ♪♫ King |
|
| Quick Funk II by kpenson | 4 years ago |
| This is not the complete song. I'm working on adding the chorus and a new melody. It's wasn't that difficult for me, especially when you can edit the notes with the software. | |
| Silly Putty by kpenson | 5 years ago |
| Thanks to all for your comments. My recording gear is really quite simple. I'm using a PCI sound card from M-Audio, Yamaha 8 channel mixer, and Wavelab software. Back in the 1970's this song was a favorite among all the local funk bands including a band in which I played drums. | |
| Human Race by DonovanFraser | 5 years ago |
Very nice. This song could be a quick piece in a movie. |
|
| KATRINA by songjammer | 5 years ago |
Good song, what's the source of your sounds/patches. Very clean. It's nice to hear the other icomp artists for a change. I get so wrapped up in my own stuff. King |
|
| The Model by kpenson | 5 years ago |
| Thank you very much for listening. The guitar patch was from a Yamaha S90 with a flanger effect. | |
| F**K you Mr. President by DonovanFraser | 5 years ago |
Not bad at all. If you are an amatuer, you should submit this song to a satellite radio station that caters to amatuer music. Every time I hear Mr B talk, it reminds me of election day 2004 when I voted against him. |
|
| Fly me to the Moon by loopmeister | 5 years ago |
Great work. The sax sounds so live - I've only recored live once. Is it your own arrangement? Keep up the good work. |
|
| Funkness by kpenson | 5 years ago |
| My driving force comes from you, the listeners. Thanks | |
| Jarre Forever by kpenson | 5 years ago |
| Thanks Bowman, didn't know his dad was a musician. Rhapsody has at least 4 of his albums online for download. Hope you didn't notice the compression induced frequency response degradation. It sounds much better in the WAV file format. Thanks for the comment. | |
| Funkness by kpenson | 5 years ago |
Thanks n2groove, please check out the rest of my songs. After a few more samples you might get bored.  King |
|
| Funk it up a Notch by kpenson | 5 years ago |
| Thanks for the honest feedback tcherno0. I don't like the horns either. There's a remixed version that I haven't released yet. King |
|
| Little Girl by Saltydog | 5 years ago |
I liked both versions. After listining to both songs I now have the urge to buy a microphone so that I can add vocal accompaniment to some of my material. Thanks for the inspiration. |
|
| Capitellu by LaFayette | 5 years ago |
Nice song, pro sounding production...........King |
|
| LOLLY by RAMZAR | 5 years ago |
I like this piece. A agree with the other artists on how theme music brings on thoughts and images of things. King |
|
| Tea ceremony by Tadashi | 5 years ago |
This song is too technical to be classed as funk. It should be in the jazz catagory. Great work, I really like the way you intro and end your songs. King |
|
| Jazz Funk I by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| The wah sound is from a Yamaha S90 - big mistake selling it. It has the best sounds for Jazz artists. Thanks again for listening. King |
|
| Funk it up a Notch by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Mr. Zzyzxx, thanks for the comments on my music. Yes RTF along with several other artists from the 70's - Jeff Lorber Fusion, Lenny White, Corea, DiMeola, Clarke, Cobham, David Sancious, Steve Gadd, J McLaughlin to name a few - provided inspiration for many of my songs. | |
| The dessert is a pudding. by Tadashi | 6 years ago |
Another hit, enough material to make an album. The bass sound.....what are you playing. King |
|
| Bay shore expressway by Tadashi | 6 years ago |
Very nice piece. I'm a new fan. Sorry for not taking the time to listen to your music. Thanks for listening to my stuff. What instruments/software do you use? King |
|
| Funky Basement by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| I use the keyboard exclusively for all drum parts - actually all instrumentation. My first instrument was the drums, which I played for many years in the 1970's. Thanks for listening!! | |
| Funk Hoppin by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Absolutely. Scot Henderson -one of my favorite guitarists. Thanks, King | |

|
| Voice of Suburbia by andantino | 6 years ago |
Well done. I will put this song on my road trip CD. King |
|
| Epitome of Techno by Pretz | 6 years ago |
Very nice tune. Due to the low frequency distortion within the production, I had difficulty listening to this tune. Was that the intended effect? King |
|
| Traveler at time by Tadashi | 6 years ago |
| I'm in the US, Michigan. Casiopea, Kazumi Watanabe and Tetsuo Sakurai are some of artists I listen to. | |
| Funk it up a Notch by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Thanks to all for listening and for the feedback. Gosh, I wish I could quit my 9-5 and see what professional opportunities come my way. | |
| Traveler at time by Tadashi | 6 years ago |
Another good one. Reminds me of the group Casiopea. |
|
| Busi by Tadashi | 6 years ago |
Superb, liked this tune very much, very professional. Thanks |
|

| As Time Goes By by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| btransue, you'll get there, just keep listening and practicing - you can't fail. The advantage of it is the infinite creativity that you will develope. | |
| Midnight Run by jaydee | 6 years ago |
Very nice. All 5's. |
|
| Carnegie Park by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Thanks, finding time to practice can be challenging. | |
| Hidden Weeds by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Thanks | |
| Strift by JohnTheBaptist | 6 years ago |
I love sound track music. This could be a sound bite for a commercial. Great work!! |
|
| Jazz Funk I by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| I'm using a Roland Drum and Bass module in a JV1010. Thanks for listening. King |
|
| Toxic (B.Spears) by Oko | 6 years ago |
Excellent arrangement, will download to my icomp favorites. |
|
| Jazz Funk I by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Thanks, I simply wanted the sound of 2 snares. The quantization was too tight for the bass drum though. Some of the pros use dual snare drums. I think Chambers is a 1 snare guy, but then there's Dave Weckl who plays 2 snares, double bass and dual hi hats. | |
| oK2b3 by btransue | 6 years ago |
Sounds really nice. If I were producing a movie I would use this for the opening credits. |
|
| Weathered Funk by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Thanks, this song was created as part of another song but didn't quite fit in, so I broke it off. | |
| Looper Pt. 4 by Jazzdall | 6 years ago |
| Like this one too. One of my favorites. | |
| Looper Pt. 5 by Jazzdall | 6 years ago |
I love this stuff. Where's the purcussion? |
|
| Octubre (October) by Barretok | 6 years ago |
Great song. Could used this song as background music at a nightclub in a movie production. |
|
| Give it Up by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Thanks for the compliment. I'll check out Ziti's tracks. | |
| Wave Good-Bye by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| Thanks. One day I will finish this song - the others also. | |
| Jazz Funk Sample by kpenson | 6 years ago |
| I'm playing the bass keyboard - Roland has the best bass patches from their plug in boards. Thanks | |
| Illusions by damris | 6 years ago |
Very nice, could go directly to a movie production for a disco scene or maybe an action scene. Great work. King |
