After Goodbye

After I finished the two "a" sections and started on the "b" section, this piece  took a distinct turn toward becoming background for a scene in a film. Wasn't my intention, but the vision was clear. A "company" yacht offshore with a party onboard as cover for company agents on a covert mission. The piece starts with the party, transitions to the agents mission and then back to the party as they get back on board.

Undercover Party

Gasparilla (Orchestral version)

I started this on a Fender Rhodes VST. Somehow the intro ended up being 4/4 then 3/4 then 4/4 then 3/4 thru the whole intro. I'm not very bright, so I couldn't figure out why Ableton wasn't fitting in everything well. Thanks to Dave Figura for his expertise with time signatures and sheet music stuff I can't come up with right away. And there's nothing like a muted horn solo, so that's in there. Oh and I've been using UAD's Capital Chambers for all my reverb since I got it. It's the best and deepest with great, full tails. I got the UAD Fairchild when it was almost free but never used it. I only tried it in place of where I had my 1176 and I didn't like it. But I tried it on the Drum Room preset for the drum tracks on this. Yikes! What a difference. Note to self...

LoFi Hip Hop 10-8-18t

I put this up 3 yrs ago, but I couldn't stand the last hi-hat hit being off by a bit. The worst part was Ableton couldn't find that intro radio station thing. And neither could I. I Googled it and found it. So I finally fixed the hat strike. and now here it is.
Original blurb:
I put down the drum beat and decided I was going to use some Loopmaster TV show clips to do some Boom Bap.

A life altering event in 2005 kicked me out of my chair to pursue a dream I'd had for a while - composing and recording my own music. Another life altering event in 2021 kicked me again to pursue another dream I'd had for a while - sharing the creations that the Universe gave to me and see if others might like them. I hope you enjoy.
