| Open Wide II by vegetal | 1 month ago |
| wow!this is the first time I have listened to you and it grabbed me immediately - love the anthemic sound - reminds me of U2 in a good way. Very very compelling and straight ahead --- good stuff! | |
| If you ever... by jolofsson | 1 month ago |
| i haven't listened to your music in far far too long and I am dazzled by how deceptively simple and easy you make it all seem. Your vocals are evocative, sensitive and perfectly appropriate. But the thing that gets me the most is how impecable your craft and sounds are - both areas where I don't have a clue - your music glistens where mine is ragged - i could listen many times again but am going to sample some others of yours instead. good stuff and thanks. les |

| Smile by brnPetra | 3 months ago |
| unexpectedly beautiful and haunting - thank you thenownows for posting the link -- held and captivated me - great vocal sounds - congratulations! | |
| The Miracle by EvilFactman | 3 months ago |
| I love alternate worlds - and you have created one! I remember in early superman comics things could suddenly shift - and you would be in the bizarro world. This is truly the bizarro universe - and how great that you just put it all out there. There are a few times when your voice sounded a lot like Bob Dylan. It took dante a lifetime to create his Inferno - and that was no farce. Nothing sparse about this Evil. Enjoyed it a lot.. Les | |
| Overdrive - 5 - "Highway 38" by Surak | 4 months ago |
| strange how this grew on me -- quietly compelling - I haven't listened to much of your stuff but am going to start going through your library now...I really do like this tune | |
| No Escape From Amy (My Vocal Debut!) by PiranhaLake | 4 months ago |
 wow - my girlfriend in high school - my unrequited love and the one I too wrote songs for - was Amy. Amy and a mosrite guitar and we are back in 1967 again - except you are a good singer and i was not. Your stuff is soo evocative - kick that premier reverb and let's put the top down and go for a drive. I really like this- so thanks dave --( my son is dave - no relation to amy) md (les) |

| The Speed of Your Heartbeat by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 11 months ago |
| Great sound! That hypnotic DGO sound with vocals that blend effortlessly. "Sculpt" is an apt word for the mix. This is as commercially viable as anything you have done and I bet you are going to see wonderful things happen to this both within and outside of IC. Congratulations..this is really good. Let me know when the rest of this music is for sale. | |
| Get the funk out of here! by DLB | 1 year ago |
| what a nice surprise! Like this a lot...nice to hear your music....thanks!. Les | |
| Should Not Be The Same by Dylan | 1 year ago |
| how wonderfully evocative....like from a different era - something from an early color or black and white movie - like THE THIRD MAN (Vienna in the 1940s). Dylan is sounding more like Mark Knopfler every day. Great song - great sound - amazing example of the power of IC - a global collab... | |
| Carnival Maria by fromano | 1 year ago |
| Dontcha just love it when something this extraordinarily good arrives? It feels like it just had to be exactly this way - the whole thing just works perfectly. You two make it look effortlessly easy - which of course is an illusion because this is the embodiment of two really talented guys and as close to really true professionalism as I have heard around here. Great stuff - thanks.. Les | |
| Mesa by Dylan | 1 year ago |
| Mark Knopfler meets New Riders of the Purple Sage - you sound great Dylan - simple crisp production just sucks you right in. Like it a lot. | |
| Island of Forever by pete | 1 year ago |
| creates a spell. Took me away. Seductive and good. | |
| Light of the Muse by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |
| wow! I had no idea! This is wonderful - lush and memorable - economical too. We must connect - I have probably commissioned at least 40 film scores since I started making television movies - and, even though I have left that business behind to move on to greener pastures, I can still hear a great one when it passes my way - and this is just that. I am a new fan - gonna start going through the rest of your stuff. Les |
|
| Rain Falls Down by NorthPoint | 1 year ago |
| great clean sound - radio ready for sure. I like that you resist the temptation to over produce. It's just all right there - each part crisp and easy. I really like this a lot. The lyrics complement the music perfectly - clear simple direct. I will be back for more. Les |
|
| The Pad by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 1 year ago |
| It was like jumping into that great river of sound again. About 10 seconds and I was right back there with you. Love how this just grabs you but reveals itself slowly...introducing new melodies and rhythms while never letting go. Your sound is unique and instantly recognizable across all your tracks - that is meant as a great compliment...because you still manage to mix it up in each song. I really loved this track. Listened to it first thing this morning and sent me off to my day with a nice groove and bounce. Thanks John. This is a good one. Can only imagine what the words will do for it! Les |
|
| NorthPoint promo for Icompositions Radio by NorthPoint | 1 year ago |
| wow - I really like the melody tucked in here - is there a full song? Name? First I have heard of your music and it's tasty - kind of TRAVIS-like. Good stuff. | |
| Lovin' Stone by Baboon | 1 year ago |
| I HAVE MISSED ALL OF YOU!!!! Great contrasts in this song - senstional voices - great keyboards - fabulous guitars - the piece really grabs and takes me with it - a bit of meat loaf to the vocal there babs - said in the best sense of it --- great tune -- more please! Interesting watching how everyone has grown into this over the years as well. You couldn't have made anything this good years ago. | |
| Dance New York Away by JodyG | 1 year ago |
| channeling Nelson Riddle and a bit of Barry Manilow as well. Wonderfully different and deliciously out of sync with the pop mainstream...I really loved this track - the orchestrations, the words, the performance. Great work. | |
| Lush (ft james.moore) by FractalGarden | 1 year ago |
| It's the "sound" - so fat, so wonderfully full. So well assembled and each piece so perfectly complementary to the whole. Takes me back to Tangerine Dream at their best - even a bit of Floyd and David Gilmour. Love the many guitar textures, love the whole thing. Makes me remember why I love this site. It's 8 AM and I am starting my day feeling good. How are you doing with your other venues and sales? God this was good! so much work, so well crafted. I guess you could consider this a rave by a fan! thanks all. . . Les |
|
| A Secret Trip by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 1 year ago |
it has been too long since I checked in on your music - and I always get that same wondrous reminder - almost instantly - as I am transported to another place - just how much I love it. no criticisms - no tips - no ways to make it better - this is exactly as it should be - a self contained little gem. Thank you my friend for all this time. I wish I were capable of creating something such as this - but, alas - I can't so I keep returning for more of your inspiration. Les |
|
| Trotsky At The Cell Phone Shop by Dylan | 1 year ago |
this is stunningly good and so far out of the box that it compels - you can't stop listening to it. I am flabbergasted that this hasn't migrated over to some sort of commercial radio - it would certainly get play. Perhaps you could send it to someone like Nic Harcourt - host of Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW in Los Angeles -- he listens to music sent to him by anyone. But this is great stuff. Thanks to you both! Les |
|
| Give Me More Time by easyesteemer | 1 year ago |
The simplicity of this song reminded me of days long ago when I was seriously studying and practicing Yoga and actually living in the ashram of my teacher... many hours spent chanting and, despite my cynicism, it does take you to a different place- as did this deceptively simple little tune. I love words - words are my business - and I like yours. GOod one. Les |
|
| That's My Baaabbbyyy by BossHook | 1 year ago |
| I was late for work this morning because I was listening to your mugshot and just couldn't turn it off. This is great music. Totally realized and executed - and wonderfully melodic and - yes - poetic. I love your lyrics, singing and playing. How many people are playing on this particular track? I just changed careers - after 25 years of making television movies I gave it all up to work on my first theatrical and your music actually got me thinking of a pretty radical idea - using it rather than paying exorbitant prices for snooty hollywood music. Forgive me for not rating this. It is beyond that. I am completely impressed. Les | |
| Surak Unplugged "Lunes Lluvioso" (Ultra Edition) by Surak | 1 year ago |
| excellent playing and sounds - love the textures - good stuff! | |
| Sorry, Jorma by TheBogmonster | 1 year ago |
| VERY Jorma-esque. Is this your composition? The guitar playing is sweet - is there any more to the song? It ends too soon! | |
| I Thought We Were in Love but She Was Just Selling Beer by TheBogmonster | 1 year ago |
Hey Bogman - you can really PLAY guitar!! Your solo work is lyrical and beautifully melodic. And you can sing too ! Kinda reminds me of my old pal Felix Cavaliere and Eric Carman. We should collaborate. Lyric is pretty darn good too! |
|
| Fly Like an Eagle by TheBogmonster | 1 year ago |
Sounds like Dick Dale or The Surfaris covering the blues. I love it. |
|
| Wind Chill (ft ghost) by FractalGarden | 1 year ago |
| this one really transported me - in a way that the technique all but disappeared and all I was left with was floating on a magic carpet of music - quite extraordinary - and in a way the best way to experience the music - flying away. | |
| The Rain Upon My Window (Terranova mix) by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 1 year ago |
| got that great DGO sense of space and those wonderful synth sounds framed by that fuzzy guitar - I never heard the first version so I was listening with fresh ears - jeez - what great singing -- there are songs on this site - like this one - that put the radio - even public radio - to shame. Good stuff to welcome me back after a long journey and absence --- thanks guys | |
| The Chosen by EvilFactman | 2 years ago |
there is something wonderfully subversive about this epic -- it's what has always attracted me to your work -- and,seriously, how great that you are on the front lines passing along that iconoclastic look at what's not being said as much as what IS to the next generation of warriors. Keep on Evil - the story must be told. |
|
| The Space You Leave by FractalGarden | 2 years ago |
| I am just not going to rate this one. It somehow exists apart from ratings - like rating a gorgeous Elmer Bernstein or Tangerine Dream score. As I mentioned in my rambling email to you John, your work is a continuing inspiration to me. This is just a gorgeous piece. I am keeping my eyes open for a place to use this in a film...it is really top notch. So thank you for sharing - again and again. Your fan - Les | |
| Sad by jayman | 2 years ago |
REALLY nice work Jay - the chorus is a kick isn't it? A fine fine piece which I enjoyed floating away too. Thanks. |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Silver by PiranhaLake | 2 years ago |
Do not change a thing! This is uniquely you and I love it. It's like old friends - comfortable and reliable. Your collection is one of my favorites on this site. It makes me miss my old premiere reverb! This is terrific. Thank you - really and sincerely. |
|
| Don't Say You Can't by EvilFactman | 2 years ago |
i love love the "bigness" and spaciousness of the sounds you have assembled. It has a very exotic feeling to it - as if we are watching The Discovery Channel taking us on an adventure into the jungle. Great piece of work! |
|
| Mr. Christ Guy(The Xmas Song) by mediadad | 2 years ago |
| not a bit ambiguous I think... |
|
| Easy by mediadad | 2 years ago |
| Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I have just gathered all the stained scraps of paper this was written on and posted the lyrics... | |
| Time Will Tell by Baboon | 2 years ago |
| I am not going to rate this one - it so far exceeds the scale of ratings - ratings cant do it justice - the singing is startling - reminiscent of the best queen and dennis de young of styx - and it shares that operatic quality as well - just when I am feeling that I don't belong here anymore something this incredibly good comes along and renews my faith - a major accomplishment and awesome amount of work -- I appreciate it completely. Thank you guys for this - it bouyed me in so many ways. | |
| "THE MESSAGE" FINAL MIX :) by SoulSurvivor | 2 years ago |
In an interview about David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd) someone said that he creates musical environments and then plays to them - which sounds deceptively easy. What is great about this piece is that in a way it says all that the words and description say. It brings you right to that place. I loved it, loved the way it made me feel. THanks all. Great work. |
|
| And Dream Of Sheep by etgilles | 2 years ago |
| wondrous! I love the sense of space in this arrangement - not too much clutter - it really breathes and, hence, lives. Beautiful job. | |
| Midnight by etgilles | 2 years ago |
| Hey Jolofsson - you are right - this is my comeuppance for not just laying down the track in time as one should. I had just read an article in The New Yorker about conductors of orchestras - and how they allow themselves to drift in and out of perfect time - sometimes by substantial intervals - to let the music find itself. I did the tracks on midnight deliberately very quickly, without using a "click" track in the headphones - just to let it breathe - as if there were real musicians there and we were laying it down live. But you are absolutely right in your comment. Thanks for listening. I am not Michael Tilson Thomas and there are no symphony orchestras around here. Back to the old ways! |
|
| Midnight by etgilles | 2 years ago |
| amazing ET! I just listened to this as if for the first time - your extraordinary singing, emotional intensity, and lyrics have totally reinvented and found the truth and magic in these chords which I found that one particular midnight. Bravo to you. | |
| Lorna Doone (KDMan cover) by Dylan | 2 years ago |
you growl this one dylan - I love it...great sound, great rocking...great tune KD |
|
| A Song by jlgerk | 2 years ago |
I love this track! What a great groove! It stays right in the pocket from the first few seconds. Is that you playing acoustic guitar? You have a lovely touch. I am in the movie music business and this would work wonderfully well. Good stuff. |
|
| Feel the Rage by EvilFactman | 2 years ago |
This is definitely the song I would have written if I could have! Thought about it many a time too! Little punk kids. Everywhere! Great! |
|
| Tide, the Movie by easyesteemer | 2 years ago |
It really takes you away. A wonderful meditation. Thanks and good work. Thanks to evilfactman who turned me on to this. |
|
| Never Be Enough - the movie by lilichi | 2 years ago |
wow - what a stunning work! First - I had no idea anyone was making videos like this on ICOMP. And had never heard JHARLEYs music either. THe music is extraordinary but so is the video - which serves and complements the music so well that it seems the two were almost birthed at the same time. Jeez - this one really transported me - to the point where I am having a hard time getting back into the morning here to start my day! Thanks for turning me on to this. I am a but of a laggard in terms of keeping up with everything on I COMP so please do grab me by the collar from time to time to make me take in stuff this good. |
|
| Salinity by jayman | 2 years ago |
| I am not even going to try to rate this one -- its beyond ratings - spectacular job by all - this is a great track...gives me something to aspire towards - and raises the bar...thanks ....it really is GREAT work | |
| Aurora Bell by Homebrand | 2 years ago |
this song does unfold - slowly and wonderfully - it creates it's own ambiance and then plays with it - simple to say and harder to do well - which you do. Reading the comments, jeez, does anyone still do acid? Went thru the whole acid, peyote experience decades ago and feel lucky to still be here! But it does change your outlook on things - keep it up good tune...good energy...Les |
|
| Culotte de Cheval by Dylan | 2 years ago |
i think I enjoyed this song more NOT knowing a word of French. Your voice became just another instrument - love the beat - love the SOUND of the french words...liked this a lot. |
|
| Piranha Lake by PiranhaLake | 2 years ago |
I really wish there were more stars to paste on. This is the best one I have heard of yours yet and have loved them all. How do you get that sound? It really does remind me of my old Premiere reverb. I gave the Farfisa ( with the grey and white keys! ) to my rock and roll son - fortunately for him I guess. But this is just great stuff for which I thank you .... Les |
|
| Down by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
OK - I have run out of superlatives for your stuff DGO - let's just leave it at saying that I am a great fan and this is a wonderful and totally DGO experience. There is a great trancelike place that your stuff takes me to. So , thank you again. Les |
|
| A Walk by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
I will say it again - you have a wonderfully unique voice DGO - immediately recognizable - and - though each song is a different entry point, they all lead to the same sensibility - which is meant to be as heartfelt a compliment as I can muster...it's why we await the new recordings of favorite artists - so thank you again for your contributions...Les |
|
| Lifted by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
this one slipped through the cracks - I love it! Did you ever finish the words? "Follow your star. Be who you are" is what popped into my brain! This one is a little gem. Let me know if you have a second. Thanks, as always...Les |
|
| Your Decadence is the Abstinence (ponkey) by Mystified | 2 years ago |
up there with Fleetwood Mac -- absolutely tops -- great work |
|
| Commonwealth By Starlight by etgilles | 2 years ago |
checking this out a year too late it seems - but what great music! Very sophisticated -- and, take this as a compliment, like Lloyd Webber at his best. Really good stuff. |
|
| the walrus video by ponkey | 2 years ago |
soooo weird that you gotta love it! and the tune does grow on you after you are a bit into it , till by the time it ends, you are really there with it! I just love stuff that takes you away - as this does. A nice but bizarre little missive from you to all of us. Thanks! (especially for the chords and words!) |
|
| PEACE ... is not too much to ask. by TeddyC | 2 years ago |
Good for you! These songs must be sung and the lyrics written. Just getting it out there makes a difference- I have to believe. I love the mixing of genres here - starting out folky and then bringing on the electric guitars... It really does get into a groove and take you away. Good stuff! |
|
| 6 and a half minutes of relaxation by ORANGEAUDIO | 2 years ago |
excellent -- took me away - which it should....very nice.. |
|
| Psalm of Icarus by PowerMatt | 2 years ago |
great song. great sound. Love it...2 days is quick the guitar at the end soars. excellent |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Journey To The Stars by PiranhaLake | 2 years ago |
I forgot about this one! I share your magnificent obsession! Love your sounds and your playing. Got people waiting outside the office wondering what I am doing in here with the headphones on! That's it for this morning. Thanks for the concert! |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Perfidia by PiranhaLake | 2 years ago |
And the hits just keep on comin' Love it as much as the others...!!! How did you get those drum sounds out of Garage band? I must know your secrets! THe drummer in my band in high school was the president of sarah lee...and had no sense of humor whatsoever! I still have his picture in the band! |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Pipeline by PiranhaLake | 2 years ago |
Shame on the Chantays! I could never play the run at the beginning - sort of the end all be all for that time. You really are better than the Ventures. THis is making my morning! |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Ghost Riders by PiranhaLake | 2 years ago |
KNOCK ME OUT!!! I just discovered your music and IT'S MY MUSIC TOO! My high school band played this - except you play it way better! (Wish I could find my premiere reverb! Always thought that getting the echoplex ...plex...plex would make me sound like the astronauts!) But what's so wonderful about this track is how it's not just the lead guitar (which sounds perfect! better than the Ventures!) but the textures in the background as well. GOnna go dip into the rest of the songs. Great stuff... Les |
|
| Maybe yes may be no by rickyeatworld | 2 years ago |
you play with passion -- which dwarfs anything else -- this is obviously a work in progress - and I like it because it is so free form -- makes me open up a little and relax ... trust the music to see where it takes you... |
|
| The Boarding Line by Baboon | 2 years ago |
I am humbled by this effort. Totally incredible. The senses of space - letting the song unfold at its own pace - and John Lennon ( the best singer as far as I am concerned) is back - channelled brilliantly. Wish I had more stars to throw at this one. You must all be very proud. I am proud to share space with you on this site. |
|
| Life of A Star (video) by MDMan | 2 years ago |
It's all about ATTITUDE - and you've got it MDMAN! My favorite part is where you tell the old man that it's a 30 second interview! Also love the blurb you wrote about your music! You may not write music but you sure can write words - not a bad skill to have in this life. Thank you for this. I am a fan of your Dad and now of you too! |
|
| The Spanish Bar & Grill Incident by Dylan | 2 years ago |
GREAT TUNE!! GREAT SOUNDS! GREAT ENVIRONMENT -- Like "Pancho and Lefty" from an alien solar system. You create a whole soundscape that is wonderful. I REALLY loved this tune... loved your bizarro humor!!! |
|
| A MOMENT OF CONFUSION by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
my usual comment! you have a distinctive and immediately recognizable sound - soundscape actually -- and listing to almost any of your pieces is like plugging back into that place...great work...it must leave you feeling wonderful to finish something like this. |

| Teranova (Sweeper Mix) by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
| I was reading an interview with Guy Manzanero (ROXY MUSIC) who produced the latest David Gilmour record - and played in the band on tour. Guy said that Gilmour and Floyd created soundscapes - environments - and then played to them. You do the same DGO -- I am always taken away by the depth and fullness - the spatial quality of your music. Thanks. Keep em coming. | |
| Angels and Demons by project_overlord | 2 years ago |
great! and unique... I was delighted and taken on a journey...congratulations...you guys must be very proud... |

| Alone by jayman | 2 years ago |
Hi - thanks for letting me know that you had posted this - it really did take me away - lovely sweet melodies and good sounds. Congrats! |
|
| Answer Your Call by Dylan | 2 years ago |
wow! this is the first music I have heard of yours and it is one of those special things that grabs you the second it comes on - what a special, distinctive and great sound! I love the lead vocal and the production. I was on my way out the door and am going to be late for work because I just HAD to write you and tell you how much I enjoyed this song. |
|
| MEMORIES OR SNOWFLAEKS. JAZZ DnB by ghost | 2 years ago |
the first of your music I have heard - reminds me of WEATHER REPORT ( speaking of snow) and Joe Zawinal - who played the wurlitzer and rhodes electric pianos. I liked this a lot and was fooling arouond with many of the same sounds myself. If ever you get to my page check out a song called DEAR FRIENDS - not as sophisticated - because I am nowhere near as good a player as you - but was going for something akin. Good stuff. . Thanks |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Diamond Head by PiranhaLake | 2 years ago |
THE VENTURES ARE ALIVE AND WELL! This is my past all in one song! The sounds you have are incredible. This was my high school band! I cannot convey how cool this song is or how good it makes me feel. Thank you, thank you |
|
| SITUATION (Yaz Cover - Winter Daze Mix) by JohnDeeFair | 2 years ago |
seriously good vocals - a really complete performance. sounds like one of the winners on AMERICAN IDOL!!! Impressive! |
|
| S T A R D U S T DnB by ghost | 2 years ago |
This is the first of your tracks I have sampled and it blew me away! I can't even begin to imagine the endless hours that went into this. Did you know where you were going when you started? Or did you just hang on and see where things took you? Good stuff...thanks! |
|
| Now Get Busy(remix) by Slappytwac | 2 years ago |
I LOVED This!!! Grabbed me immediately and wouldn't let go til the end. I am going to sample some more of your stuff. This is very very good though completely different from anything I even approach. Thanks! |
|
| California by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
It's getting so that your default setting is wondrous music...I am at my office and took a work break to listen to this track. All the frantic energy of the day seemed to melt away and I found myself drifting back to the stillness within - which is the only place really from which to watch the craziness out there in the world. I am beginning to recognize your sound, DGO - and like it evermore. I am committed to finding some way to use your music in something I do. Thank you for this. |
|
| When Worlds Collide by PowerMatt | 2 years ago |
Sooo tight and good... really is amazing how good this is compared to what is on commercial radio -- are you playing everything? Love the guitar sounds especially and how you made the drums sound as good as they do. This was as informative to me as it was entertaining. Makes me realize how much better my own stuff can be. The best! I am a new fan... |
|
| iComp Theme (Majestic) by jayman | 2 years ago |
This is one fine theme song. The melody - as first introduced - is soooo sweet and memorable that I wish you had taken longer to let me get to know it - and repeated it while changing it slowly... a criticism borne only of liking it as much as I do. I have acquired a number of themes in my day job over the years and your melody is right up there with the best of them. Don't be afraid of your melodies or feel you have to embellish them. Thank you for inviting me to listen. Nice work! |
|
| Moon Song by lilichi | 2 years ago |
strange, simple, and haunting. lovely guitar playing. This takes you away. thanks. |
|
| Digital Grey Orchestra by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
The more I listen to your music the more enthralled I become with it. Your ear for melody and texture is extraordinary. I commission soundtracks all the time for our movies and I must tell you that your work stacks up there with the best of them. I continue working my way through your catalog. There is an ENIGMA quality to it. Thanks. |
|
| Between Strangers (a Fractal Garden track) by Ignoramus | 2 years ago |
Absolutely perfect! And completely seamless. Reminds me of ENIGMA only better. The musicianship is dazzling. I am a big DGO fan but this the first I have heard of IGNORAMUS' playing. As an eternal amateur guitar player myself I am blown away not so much by your technique as the incredible spirit and soul that shines through your playing. Wonderful way to begin 2006. Thank you both! |
|
| No More Saturdays by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
What a sweet song! I hear years of piano lessons as well as a lifetime of musical references all wonderfully blended. It was so nice that it made me want to hear it played on a Bosendorfer concert grand instead of whatever piano sound you used. I wanted to hear it really resonate - which these software instruments try to do but never really capture. But thanks for another wonderful piece of music. |
|
| Sociopath (lounge) w/Evil Laugh by KDMan | 2 years ago |
Finally got around to checking this one out. The lyric of course appeals to me -skewed world view that I have. But the vocals are great! Your voice sounds awesome. I never thought I would get to the point around here where I would even be asking the question but - maybe there is a way we could work on something together! My singing is terminally challenged but my lyrics sometimes really connect. Think about it. I am working on two now that I will send you the lyrics in progress if you are intrigued. Les (mediadad) |

| Mr. Christ Guy(The Xmas Song) by mediadad | 2 years ago |
| thanks DG - for listening and answering the call! The more I find myself in a position to make this world a more hospitable place for all the more difficult it becomes at time to absorb how inhospitable it has become for some. Be of good health and spirit. MD | |
| MOBIUS by mediadad | 2 years ago |
| thanks dgo -- I am about to post one that I have really labored over -- not sure if it's mixed properly yet but i am hoping for some feedback....slowly savoring your ouevre as well! | |
| MOBIUS by mediadad | 2 years ago |
| thanks euphoria - i suppose i can lose the caps thing - sort of like ee cummings poetry - never a cap - thanks though for listening and taking the time to write - i was reading all the posts about ponkey and how he can knock out a song in an hour and have it be great -- so I wanted to give it a try - problem is that it really does take time for these songs to grow into themselves -- i will be back at this one again no doubt ...but i appreciate the time... | |

| Flynn by DigitalGreyOrchestra | 2 years ago |
| really gorgeous tune -- so much left unplayed -- so many spaces -- there are so few pieces that make me wish I was capable of writing them! This one made me feel like a poseur; it really does take you on a journey - and then bring you back - only to a slightly different place from where you departed - which is really what art is supposed to do... I am honored that you have listened to a few of my pieces... jeez this was good! |
|
| PLEDGE DRIVE by mediadad | 2 years ago |
| thanks Jobu! The other song in the same wry tradition is called BEAUTIFUL DAY (for the world to end) - which you might like. I appreciate the listen and the feedback... | |

I was reading an interview with Dave Gilmour (one of my Gods!) and he said it was difficult to find young musicians who could play his older Pink Floyd music because of the spaces in it - the absences of sound. Actually, it was a broadcast interview where you could see Gilmour go through some of the old stuff guitar in hand. And it's true. There are long, languid spaces where nothing is happenning - and it is incredibly dramatic. I think this piece has sooo much going on - so many ideas - that maybe it just needs to breathe a little bit more - which is totally counter intuitive for us all. But I am liking your music a lot. |

This is the first comment I have ever posted on this site. It's interesting how you can tell almost in an instant whether or not a piece of music resonates with you - kind of like meeting a person for the first time. I really liked this - and that means the sensibility behind it too. You look for a sound in the same way that I do - and this was fully realized here. I am going to check out your catalog - as I learn how to play my new old lap steel guitar. |
