Title: foldy's May KVR Post by: folderol on May 12, 2009, 08:42:47 PM Well here is the blurb I put up over there. Please have a hankie to hand :)
I was a wee bit miffed about this months theme (mostly cos my entry for last month was 3/4). I thought I'd more-or-less used up this years 3/4-edness so scrabbled around desperately through my bits box searching for inspiration. I was just about to give up, when I heard a faint rustling from the furthest dark corner of the folder. There I saw a weak, long abandonded melody bravely heave itself up on a minim and a rest, and feebly wave three crotchets in the air. The sight almost brought me to tears as it staggered forward, almost tripping over a pile of accidentals. What could I do? I had deserted this poor youth many years ago simply becase it had a broken time or two, and had made, perhaps, a poor choice of instrument friends. Well we worked together through the night to fix what was broken, and it soon became clear that I had badly misjudged the little tune, and it really could learn to sing. Once I introduced it to some honest instruments there was just no holding it, and at last it shone and lived up to its name. So here is A Dream For The Future Title: Re: foldy's May KVR Post by: offthewall on May 12, 2009, 09:23:03 PM 8)
You never fail to charm me with your little tunes, young man. This is yet another of those 'dreamlike' sequences. I particularly like the 'swells' of the background instrument in the middle section. For those 'over there' contests it's looking as if you are going to be a permanent fixture in my personal top tens. :-* ;) James Title: Re: foldy's May KVR Post by: SoundKlops on May 13, 2009, 02:22:01 PM Hi Will,

Makes me feel like Judy Collins should be singing with this. Too bad she never had music this nice to sing with. 8) Wyatt Title: Re: foldy's May KVR Post by: folderol on May 13, 2009, 04:46:03 PM Thanks a lot guys. All comments gratefully received!
@James I get that effect by having a very slow LFO controlling a filter on just that instrument. @Wyatt I admit it does have a bit of a 'Sound of Music' flavour, but that's one hell of a compliment you just paid me! Title: Re: foldy's May KVR Post by: MarioD on May 16, 2009, 02:53:16 PM Will, you write some very beautiful music and this another example of that :;
Super melody, backing tracks, mix and excellent choice of sounds. Absolutely top notch all the way :- This is a keeper. |
