July 1, 200817 yr Ever heard of the play Antigone? Here's my little play on words. The lyrics are spacey, and so is the music. I wanted to use some power chords in the guitar, but still have a jazzy sound, so those sus4 chords are the perfect compromise. Wherever the words "Anti-Gone" are sung or played in the song is a 2/4 bar (i.e. first bar of chorus, first bar of soprano solo, ending, etc.) The violin part is absent, but I'm having a little trouble in the horn voicings.... Any tips with the lyrics would be nice, too.:D Anti-Gone Any given day we Anti-Gone.MID Anti-Gone.MUS
July 3, 200817 yr the main melody sometimes ask for a cadence. but the "breaking bars" in it fit perfectly... specially on its development for 0:55 - 1:08 the chorus winds sounds great, they give an ideal touch, very lacking on this style of music these days. The clarinet on 2:53 could have built into a solo, and in the 3rd verse the repetition would have fit much better with the sax or the clarinet filling voids in the sound, with fills, or anything to give a more dynamic listen but then, most of the voids must have been only for the exclusion of the lyrics it would be a nice theme to listen recorded, and it doesn't sounds so hard to do it... so, if you ever get a recorded version, let me know ;)

And actually, 2:53 is a solo, I just didn't write it in an actually solo....and yeah, those spaces where nothing's going on is pretty much just vocals... Thanks for hte review!;) ~Kal
November 19, 200817 yr Author Just a heads up, the recorded version's available on my band's myspace.... ~Kal
December 16, 200817 yr I don't know if this was on purpose or not, but the proper pronunciation of Antigone is an-tig-uh-nee.
January 12, 200917 yr Author Yeah....that's why it was a play on words. I differentiated the two by putting a hyphen in the song title, to keep the theatre kids happy... ~Kal
