I like it. I'll have to give a listen to the rest of your stuff! Not sure about a title; there was a nice juxtaposition between the orderly and clean xylophone and free-swinging and dirty synthtar. Overall it's a very dreamy and sorta whimsical feel; not quite a carnival, but something in that direction, maybe. The first thing that rolls off my tongue is "The Jester King" (/me shrugs) Cheers, -Lou On 5/15/07, Folderol <folderol(a)ukfsn.org> wrote: > Once again I'm trying something rather different from my usual > style(s).

The bell part would be a candidate for slowly morphing over time, perhaps starting with something close to a sine, to a sharp musicbox sound, on to xylophone-like.

You should push the synthar up just a little bit.

The percussion is a tad too loud. Consider moving that shakey sound to one side and add a partner on the other.

This begs for some fast but smooth fills and some breaks.

Ah! My Achilles heel again <sigh>

Not a bad idea. I've actually combined that with Lou's suggestion so I now give you: http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Lair_Of_The_Dragon_King.ogg or http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Lair_Of_The_Dragon_King.mp3

As I am getting short of webspace I'll be removing the old titles pretty soon.

I'll try do do more work on the percussion, but if I can't produce anything I'm *really* happy with I'll leave it simple as it is. I'd rather have it slightly sparse than mess it up.

I'm very uneasy about these sites. I don't like the advertising and am not confident my work would stay intact.

And, no ability to update/change something if you want to. Or to remove it! At least, I've not found any way to do either.

Nice tune Will. You seem to be moving away from the sound of some of your earlier stuff, like not so layed back.

Personally though I think your Ghost Train is a real classic. It's got that sound of spaghetti westerns. A really haunting sound. I play it often, along with Dave Philips "Together at the end of the World", which I think is another really great tune.

I really must backup all the music I have. I'd hate to lose it . So much hard work has been done to produce it. Nigel.
