Can you give us an example? Always interested in innovative music.

Maybe I already have and didn't know it.

 

I've been doing a lot of video scoring that sounds kind of like that... although the beats I usually work with would be described as trance, I think. But it's a blend of electronica breakbeat, classical string and horns, jazz trio (with a lead saxaphone) and thick "new agey" synth pads.

 

Of course, my version of said description will sound different than yours... since writing about music is like dancing about architecture. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif

I love that kind of music! Personally, I lean more toward film/modern classical than new age, though. A lot of film music is harmonically similar to jazz. Weave it together with some funky rhythms, add some Peter Gabriel and soulful vocals, and you've got Seal! (his first 2 CD's, anyway.) However, I'd love to hear/make some instrumental music in this style.

 

BTW Jim Bordner, I laughed my ass of at the analogy about writing about music. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif It could also be said about talking about music. If you don't mind, I'm going to STEAL that! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

 

Peace all,

It's already been stolen and re-stolen. The quote is most often attributed to Elvis Costello. I've also heard Leonard Bernstein and Frank Zappa. But I don't think it was any of them. I think it was Jim Bordner.

No, no, not Yanni! Chick Corea and Dave Grusin will probably boil him alive. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Interesting. I have been writing what I like to call "heavy mellow". Think Yanni meets Collective Soul.

My music is right down this alley... Bob James/Dave Grusin/Mangione with a dash of Steely Dan, Vangelis, Vollenweider thrown in... Where is your stuff? Let's hear! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Love to hear good new stuff, especially in my area...

hey, if i had sum money i would be able to make a demo cd... but music school has to come first... your combo sounds cool,too...

[Llarion]

You don't have to make a CD; if you have a way to record at all, record into your PC, and make some music! There are lots of programs out there to record with that are super cheap!

right... i will be workin on it... and also vangelis is very cool he is the one who got me hooked on keyboards with his chariots of fire soundtrack...

[Guest Room Warrior]

Magpel is correct... that quote has been recirculated for so long, I didn't bother to attribute it. Elvis Costello? Tha'sa new one on me. Man, he's a genius, but that quote's been around since before he was born, I think.

 

 

Anybody have a copy of Bartlett's? I'd love to know who they give it to...
