What a creepy bastard JD was. Good thing they got rid of him in jail. Goes to show you, looks are deceiving. Sad to think humans used to eat one another all the time. Nature can be such an ugly b!tch. A documentary on him said he ate people because he wanted to keep them close, so they would never leave.

that second dissonant chord construction is tense or intense or extensively extreme// this is so neat of a composition it could go on and on IMO :) well done..
A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track – A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Norm’s percussion, added a track where I speak Evan’s poem and did some remastering…

Great subject matter you have captured the suspense and Mystery and horror....similar in feel not content of the music Jaws the way in which it feels like he is encircling his prey....an excellent feel to this piece.. love it
This starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.

I think the material from 2007 / 2008 resides on the server in a folder left from the old soonlabel forum. I didn't delete that folder so that the links would not break. But now a decade later perhaps I should just delete it.
This is very mysterious - sounds like you are running you voice through the synth?
I said it so long ago:
"We don't know.
We might not ever, will we?"

Lovely!

interesting tones,,great use of GPO, very nice sound quality,,

Such a harmless looking beast....
Terrific! I like the bits that start at 1:30 or so. Cymbals are perfect.
goodness this is pretty, gravity is everywhere. so I have found ...

Love the Eastern flavours you're cooking with more and more these days - great stuff from El Norm also.
Great subject matter you have captured the suspense and Mystery and horror....similar in feel not content of the music Jaws the way in which it feels like he is encircling his prey....an excellent feel to this piece.. love it
Hypnotic! Wow!! Captured some real power here!
Love this riff - not sure which I prefer, I think the other has the edge...but love the extra improvised bits here.
Totally original - great effect with the mandolin!
Woah, did I? Go me! This is magical - tranquil and mystical with a sting in the tail.
Back for another visit loving this
excellent..... love the Conrads poem and the performance of it....a real mystery going on with the sounds in the second half.. Conrads voice reminds of someone of the Lou Reed album the Raven
7/8 = awesome pick for this song.
Excellent! Percussion is top notch!

Love the dramatic opening and the release of tension that starts in the middle and resolves at the end nicely.
beautiful!
The music is excellent in how strident it is.
reminds me of the minute man air corp of Massachusetts bringing down spitfires during the Boston Tea Party of 1812. Some tea - some party!
Great sounds in this!
excellent odd and menacing mood!
Its the only reason to have a day job!

Thanks Bill!
This is incredibly cinematic - excellent work !
Beautiful Ben!
lasers to a WWII Battle of Britain dog fight!
Excellent! Adds a nice ambient layering
great!
this is stunning
this is a marvelous transformation of guitar!!
I love this as well!
nice use of temsion and release - as Jim said - a movie score.
If this had more drive it would break the interwebs! Nice work!
