Title: Two new songs
Post by: MarioD on March 15, 2018, 08:37:50 PM
This is the post I put on the PGMusic forums:

OK I know that it is not kosher to submit a couple of song simultaneously, especially by someone like myself whom hasn't been able to listen much the last few weeks, but I think these might be an exception.  Believe it or not both of these songs are from the same style, i.e. Kladerman Piano Style! In both songs I deleted the guitar track and the rest is straight from BiaB.  I started with Dreaming in Tangerine but I liked the style so much I had to do a more normal song.

The first, Inner Peace, is more like my usual stuff.  I am playing the Ocarina via my wind controller.

The second, Dreaming in Tangerine, I copied the piano track 3 times.  The first two piano tracks I put on two different arpeggio sound sources. The other two I put on percussion sound sources.

You are in deep meditation, calmly dreaming about playing your Ocarina by a babbling brook, surrounded with by song birds then you dream you are playing with a large string orchestra.

This song is an experiment in arpeggios that would be similar to those used back in the Tangerine Dream days.  I know this is not the genre that many of you either like or are familiar with but back in the day I used to listen to Tangerine Dream a lot and it got me very interested in electronic music.

Enjoyed 'Inner Peace' right from the start. The second one didn't seem much at first but picked up in the second half.

Thanx Will.

The second experimental piece was really a song to show the folks at the PGMusic forums what you can do with Band-in-a-Box, MIDI, and a little imagination.

Dreaming In Tangerine,is an interesting change of genre for you and well done. 8) The intro was a bit too "experimental" for me in it's length,but the latter half was superb!

Thanx Thom.  I agree about the first half of the song.  As I said this was an experimental piece to show those at the PGMusic site that you can do a lot of different things with a MIDI style.  I wanted to bring the second half closer to the beginning but I wanted to keep the style exactly the same as Inner Peace.  I also purposely did not play a lead line for the same reason.
