Description: I would have called this piece "Grief" except I have already created a piece called "Grief". (it came to grief)

Wow...the mallets caught me off guard...good work

This track has a deeply consistent expression of loss.  It comes to a satisfying end.  Love the way the low clarinet compliments the mood.

very nice ! sounds like an old nintendo or dos adventure game theme :p

Now that Leilani Roosman has kindly made some vocals for this piece, the new version is at http://soundcloud.com/cropleyb/loss-now-with-vocals-by

My Funny Valentine

A protest song from local band "Engine Room" about the highly controversial building of a McDonalds opposite a Kindergarten in the mountain township of Tecoma, where 90% of residents oppose the project and 8 of them have been sued $238K by McDonalds.... locally and globally covered - register your protest at http://bit.ly/StopMaccas. ( Already 85000 petitioners - and McDonalds still not listening - we need more to sign )

Assault

Music, Lyrics, and Arrangement by Harlan J. Brothers

Vocal by Michael at Studio Pros.

Lyrics (updated):

There’re so many places we could see
But I know of one where life’s a dream
When you hold me near, oh suddenly it’s clear to me
There is no place I’d rather be

So clap your hands and tell me where

Where is the place, where’s the place?
Where is that magic land we know?
Where is the place, where’s the place?
Where is the place we love to go?

Where is the place where the water is wine?
Where is the sunlight sure to shine?
Where is the place I long to be?
Where is the place called you and me?

There’s so much to do, so much to see
But being with you it sets me free
When you’re by my side I know that love will guide the way
And show us where we love to play

So clap your hands and tell me where

Where is the place, where’s the place?
Where is that magic land we know?
Where is the place, where’s the place?
Where is the place we love to go?

Where is the place where the water is wine?
Where is the sunlight sure to shine?
Where is the place I long to be?
Where is the place called you and me?

Where are the sands of time at rest?
Where is the lovin’ always best?
Where is the place where the skies are blue?
Where is the place called me and you?

Where is my home away from home?
Where is my spirit free to roam?
Where is the place where dreams come true?
Where is the place called me and you?

[Break]

[Chorus]


Where is the Place?

Composed, Arranged, and Produced by Harlan J. Brothers.

This is an experimental, math-based dance groove based on Robert Schneider's non-pythagorean scales and an algorithm of mine that draws on primes numbers.

Lyrics:

What would I do
If I had an hour
To brighten the darkness we see?
How would I act
If I had the power
To change the powers that be?

If I were a magician
The first thing I’d do is stop the race
I’d wave my little finger and
Sweet smiles would appear on sour faces

If I were a magician
Each day we’d have to try on something new
We’d bounce out of bed each morning and
Snap on a brand new point of view

If I were a magician
I'd change all the rules of the game
The good guys would finish sooner and
The tortoise and hare would share the fame

What charm could I say
That would burst with flowers
And set every broken heart free?
What could I do
If I had the power
To change the powers that be?

If I were a magician
We’d never have to spend another dime
‘Cause everything would be paid for with
A song or a dance or a silly rhyme

If I were a magician
A nap would feel just like a full night’s rest
And we wouldn’t need to save stuff ‘cause
The first and the last would both be best

If I were a magician
We’d have nothing to lose and all to gain
We’d visit exotic places and
Fly ‘round the world without an airplane

If only I were a magician
There'd never be another lonely night
‘Cause I’d mix moonlight and stardust and
A prince would appear to hold you tight

If I were a magician
We’d stay young and never need the Doc
‘Cause I’d conjure-up a potion and
Just one single sip would stop the clock

Mattie - Parallels

I created a website for my music: http://www.bruce-cropley.com a couple of years ago, through which you can buy mp3s of your favourite pieces, or the whole "Modal Podal" or "We Are Alive" album as a CD. :)

I like (and make music in) lots of different types of music, mainly Jazz, Latin, Classical, Electronic, Experimental.
My aim is to compose music in every style I like. It could take me a while. :)
My influences include: Dave Brubeck, Mike Oldfield, Cubanismo, Bill Evans, JS Bach, The Beatles, AC Jobim, Thelonius Monk, Gil Evans, Michael Jackson and many others.

I have studied piano, trumpet and drums with a few different teachers. I used to jam regularly with friends, and have been in a few bands. My musical interests have been mainly jazz and latin.

At the moment, I am mainly using Logic Studio 9; to give myself some more sounds to play, I bought NI Komplete 5. To generate music more quickly, I bought Band In A Box 2012.5.
Make sure you look at the genres of my music before you press the play button; the styles are very different.
I have also created two demo pieces which contain excerpts from several of my pieces: http://soundcloud.com/cropleyb/demo
http://soundcloud.com/cropleyb/demo-2

I aim to create musical pieces that are profoundly irrelevant to society, creative, musical and humorous.
Anyway, I hope you like my compositions, please comment on them and/or visit my site.

BTW I'm particularly open to collaboration with vocalists. Send me a message if you're interested.

Thanks,
Bruce
