Name: Bah & the Humbugs: I'm Just Saying We Could Use a Little Snow Around Here by Amy Guskin
Duration: 3 min 42 s
Description: Bah & the Humbugs are back with this fervent prayer for season precipitation.

This composition is my entry in Soundiron's 25 Days of Composing competition. All the sounds you hear are from Soundiron's free Desk Bell instrument, which is built from samples of a classic "Ring Bell for Service" kind of bell. 

The mood of the season: joy mixed with urgency, celebration alongside frantic activity.

PS: Listen to the other contest entries (https://soundcloud.com/soundiron/sets/25-days-of-composing) -- people have applied a lot of skill and creativity to this composing challenging, with fun and interesting results!

Ding Ding Ding!

In this fun little song, painters and graphic designers help rescue the world from the grim monochromatic reign of the Space Crabs. The musical arrangement harkens back to my earlier solo albums, with a dense blend of grand piano, accordion, and cellos. This is one of the 14 songs that I wrote for fawm.org's February 2014 songwriting challenge. 

Hieronymus Bosch

This song owes a bit to 80s new wave dance music. It's my first recording that uses vocoder, a vintage synth-voice sound that I love. This is one of the 14 songs that I wrote for fawm.org's February 2014 songwriting challenge. 

Strange Exhaust

Bah & the Humbugs are back with this fervent prayer for season precipitation.
