That's an interesting thought. I tend to think of most of stuff as easy
listening. I'm not usually comfortable with more aggressive styles, and
when I do experiment with them, it still seems to come out sort of
laid-back :-/
OK, I guess it's put-up or shut-up time.
I've put a couple of tracks on www.folderol.ukfsn.org They are quite
different to what I've seen on here. I hope you like them.
The first one "Reflections" sounded like a soundtrack to some RPG game. I keep
thinking its going to explode and become like a heavy action scene. Its
kind of ambient or environmental in a way. That may be because of the
reverb. Don't get me wrong it is good for what it is. Every composition
has a time and a place where it useful. I see it as maybe a child
dreaming or some peacefully scene at the end of a RPG of sorts of
something. The second piece "The Crystal Ship" kind of
reminded me of something
Raymond Scott would do. http://raymondscott.com/
It is simple and has a bubbly commercial quality to it. It could be a
commercial jingle maybe.

I like simple tunes :) Something you can hum along to. Sadly these are
few and far between these days. I'm convinced that it was this, more
than anything else that made the early Beatles songs so popular.
