jrcramer Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) The theme song of Weeds is an older song by Malvina Reynolds. It stuck in my head, I liked the text a lot and it seemed funny to me to treat an 60s protest song as a church hymn and write an old-fashioned choral prelude to it. So for a contest (that I didn't win anything in and forced you to write for a funny combination of instruments, with at least on harpsichord) I made this little ditty. In celebration of the getting alive of this site I thought to share some of my work :) This one is mainly for fun and pretty weird Edited June 13, 2016 by jrcramer mp3 was wrong MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu And they're all made out of ticky-tacky > next PDF And they're all made out of ticky-tacky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgri Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Jaap, I very much wish I could hear a life version of this piece! It is such a fun piece to listen to. I never feel lost, nor as if I've been listening for to long of a time. I love the harmonic language. Bravo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYS65 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I don't know the song you mention but the harmonies in this are really cool, I hear a lot of Messiaen and maybe Langlais, these colors weren't on your older works I know, if this is how you sound now, sounds so french. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyfry Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Wow! So much energy, and such interesting rhythms and harmonies. I've given this multiple listens, and I really enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcramer Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thank you all for the kind words. I am still not sure if the right mp3 is player. It seems cropped on my safari (OSX Yosemite). so just to be sure I refer you to my site, that includes the link to the box.net-folder.
