April 3, 20196 yr Here's an instrumental I wrote for no particular reason other than a challenge to write a guitar song completely with a virtual guitar in the Sonar 8.5 piano roll. I didn't allow myself to utilize a real guitar just for the challenge. Therefore I don't actually know if the guitar parts are in proper form, but it sounded good to my ears so I filled it in with an arrangement; drums, strings, etc. Hope it comes across well. Feel free to comment on any aspect of the piece.
May 23, 20196 yr Great piece.. Don't get the title.. Sometimes I start with a title, but as song progresses (especially instrumental).. I conjure up images, which reflect the piece. People will also take a chance to listen to, by the title alone. I'd expect some heavy death metal. or LSD freak out stuff. But, the piece is excellent and excellently constructed.. l GREAT
May 23, 20196 yr Author mark styles, Thanks for the kind words. I know the title doesn't really fit the vibe but it kinda stuck with me. Maybe if I ever write lyrics for it, the title will change. I don't care to write lyrics, unless they just come to me effortlessly... which doesn't happen often. All in all it's too much of a chore coming up with rhymes. I just love writing and arranging tunes. I don't know the last time I woke up in the morning without some tune rattling around in my head. Sometimes it's stuff I'm working on, sometimes it's an annoying TV jingle I've heard, sometimes a random song that I like or even one I don't like from a pop band or recording artist.. and on very rare occasions a piece of music I've never heard before like I'm listening to a radio. The human brain is a mysterious thing don't-chya know. :)
