A different style again here...in 6/8 time. I have now added one word descriptors to my Orchestrations series, to make the title a little less bland...and to give a clue as to the content!! I envisaged a furious chase through the jungle, perhaps…

This is amazing and inspiring. It's got a playfulness that balances out the fast paced, high energy jungle vibe. Really well done!

In Lockdown, I have really been inspired to return to my more classical roots, and have enjoyed playing around with the idea of epic style movie or cinematic themes/trailers. I have imaginatively named them Lockdown Orchestrations No. 1, No…

So, thought it was time to try something a tad more substantial - hence embarked on a Piano Concerto....here is the first movement of my first, in C minor.......

This one is so much fun! Great energy and movement in that synth bass, and I really love the transitions in and out of quiet parts!

Woah! I was hooked from the first beat. Love that open sounding snare, and a glorious use of bubbly synth with lots of personality!

This is the first idea I came up with for the 2021 RPM Challenge/FAWM and it very much sets the tone for most of what will follow. It's too long, it is pretty much just an Eminor and a Dmajor... everything is going to sound the same this year…

Nice, man! Love the intro. You got my attention with some really juicy guitar tone and a funky bass part right off the bat. I like the open-endedness of the lyrics. The guitar parts are all really good.

I wanted to capture the sunny and uplifting spirit of AM radio hits from my childhood. The horns, the bouncy baseline, the clean and -hopefully-tasty guitar fills all come from that place.

A longish, atmospheric prog rock adventure, including some of my favorite glitchy sounding ambient doo dads.

Katy Tom Noyes The line....you feel warm when you're freezing to death.... I was so afraid this was going to happen to my Dad the first night. He thought he could tuff it out. Ended up in his car for warmth. He finally realized the severity and went to my brother's. He didn't want to leave his house
