weird music

Well, you asked for it, this is as weird as it gets. I hope the tracks will be useful. You guys can use snippets if you like, you know, bits and pieces, I allowed for some thoughtful pauses in the music where edits could be made. I wanted to give you generic, but, you insisted, so ....

1. love never sleeps

2. dance of the space zombies

3. at play in the fields of green

4. it was jazz killed the cat

Let me know what you think. And thanks for the feedback.

The music is now up on archive. You can listen to it to see if you wish to download it.

Thank you for uploading your soundtracks!

I have added a preview function to all mp3 downloads too.

Yes, I noticed that only after having uploaded. Even so the albums were going to be posted on archive anyway. Thanks for urging me on. Seems I still had some energy left before total and complete burnout. The albums were fun to create. If anybody wonders how I churn them out so quickly it's because I know my way around Soundtrack and I am very familiar with the kinds of loops I have. The program and loops ARE my instruments, like a real instrument should be an extension of a musician's body. After having made so many albums hell it had better be this way or there's no point to having done any of it, right? Practice, practice, practice, makes perfect, but in this case it will never get me to Carnegie Hall.

My latest album has grown one inch since its birth ...

You will see on the webpage, in the desription, what the album represents (more or less); created with MuseScore 0.9.6.2 on a laptop PC, using Windows XP. It can be done on a PC as well! The program behaves similarly. I have noticed no dissimilarities. Btw, certain percussion are likewise not available in the PC version in just the same way they are not available in the Mac version. Perhaps this means it must be a MIDI connection to a synth? I am not sure. I have not gone through the manual nor asked anyone in the offical forum about this problem. Enjoy.

Note: The album is not one of my favorites but there are moments when it shines.

thanks

You are welcome.

Btw, the coverart for "The Krazy Things" was created with GIMP on a PC laptop. Several filters were used to achieve the weird effects. There were multiple layers used and different filters were applied to each separate layer. I will provide what I can remember...

>motion blur was used on the starshine layer which was behind the texts, to spread out the light and give it that otherworldly impression
>lighting effects that produce stars and suns were applied to another layer in front of the tentacle-creature(s)
>the tentacles/eyeballs layer. It was drawn as many separate tentacles then the "oil" filter was used to give them a more organic/unusual appearance
>the background was black with green strokes that were pixelized, and I think the body/torso of a single creature was added behind the tentacles, but you cannot see it. This is intentional because I later kept to my original idea of implying many things as opposed to just one thing emerging from another dimension

New classical album created with MuseScore on a PC. Got a heavy-duty virus this time and almost lost this music. Glad I was able to rescue it...
