InstrumentalFest (banner image missing)


messing about with my Akia MPK mini USB keyboard and garageband in my MacBook. One for the instrumental fest like a bad flashback lol.

It is what it is.

Sounds like it would make a great background track for a psycho horror flick or an intense suspense scene.

Atmospheric. Really creates a mood, built on that bass ostinato. Yes, I could see this in a soundtrack - horror, suspense, sci-fi. Nice piece.

Has an uneasy feel, but I wouldn't say bad trip!
I like it James, cool bassline and a great sounding recording.

It does have a dark edge, but the bass and snare momentum drive it along like the soundtrack to a final fight scene in a video game. i.e. it's more of an exciting trip than a bad one. Love those banked choirs. Very cool.

Very David Lynch. All I'm seeing is the road from Mullholland (so?)Dr.
Rock on!

This bad trip is pretty good! I like the fade in and the sync of the bass and snare. A good trip here ORH!

Dark, full of foreboding and quite ambient in some ways. Right up my street, really liked this Jim. I think the choral sounds really work well and like you I love noodling away with cool sounds to create an atmosphere and evoke feelings. Which you did really well here, so well done!

Unsettling and disturbing from start to finish.  Dark and full of menace.

This is turning into a pretty good fest. Lovely soundscapes here Jim. Those keyboard sounds are brill... yes a little trippy too, always good with that.

Sounds intimidating and mysterious , especially with my headphones and the fading light outside , the bass line takes me away somewhere in space, great composition and well recorded ORH
