Title: Everything's Velvet
Post by: elwoodblues1969 on April 03, 2008, 12:02:31 AM
Had this music in my head this morning from a composition that I created in a dream...it was about a movie with Samuel Jackson-sort like a sequel to his "Shaft" movie he was in a few years ago(which of course,is ficticious as well,as I made up the dialogue as the dream progressed.

It's sort of funk/ambient style...hope you enjoy. O0

Cool sounds here, thom.
Coincidence  :o
Have you ever gone in for the KVR contests?
This song would fit right in with the theme this month....and it would only have to be trimmed by 4 seconds.

James,

For a while now,I have been devoting all my spare time to this forum,but I do like the KVR forum though.

I'll have to check it out,but it's been aeons since I had visited there-I don't recall my username & password. :-\ :)

Thanks for the comments,

Thom

Excellent 'shaft' theme  8)
Good drums too, very snappy, fits perfects with the theme of the song.
And of course I love that bass  ;D

Be sure, you're armed before you go to kvr  ::) ;)

Thom,

Nicely laid out, leading the listener through your various compositional themes. Very effective.
Some interesting textures, and the ending really worked for me.

Good bit of mastering, too! Loud, detailed, crisp.

(incidentally, I've been to KVR on a couple of occasions, but won't go back. Knowledgeable people, but no sense of community. Kind of a "jittery" feel about the place. I prefer co-operation over competition.)

Oren.

Oren,

Some very kind words,coming from the master of mastering. :-

With regard to your views on KVR,I agree with you whole-heartedly,brother.

I felt exactly the same way towards the Sweetwater forum,which is why I left that forum altogether and this is precisely why Kara-Moon is my whole world online.

Thanks,

Thom

This is something new to me, an unpredictable crossover
Well done !

Very good work (as usual) and recognisably your style, although equally recognisably expanding :D
