Lolobye

[ncc1701]

Here's the project I've been working on lately that's kept me from making any submissions.This is a present for my brand new nephew, who's making his appearance at 8:30 a.m. Monday morning. (The C-section has been scheduled!) It's my little sister's first baby.It's called "Lolobye" because the nickname they had for him in utero was "Lolo."http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... am=trueI'd love to hear any input - comments, suggestions, etc. If a listing comes up that it might fit, it's goin' in!Kathleen

Very nice, Kathleen. What a great way to welcome somebody into the world! I've done some pieces like this specifically for people and find they make the best emotional connections of all my songs.The flute gives a great "personal" introduction, then I love when the sweeping strings come in at :50.My only question is on the "tiney" keyboard part. I though it sounded better when on the softer attacks, as opposed to the "glockenspieley" parts. Probably just personal preference and I don't think it really detracts.Congrats!Vince

Hi Kathleen,Very nice track indeed -- memorable melody and nice harmonies. And, congrats on the new family member! I have a few friends with new little ones myself that I've been tasked to write music for.There is a lullaby listing in the 2-15 listings, although I'm not sure this would fit. Read on:PRODUCERS and ARTISTS who are capable of creating innovative INSTRUMENTALLULLABIES are sought by an established Independent Record Label. Thislabel is specifically interested in hearing lullaby renditions of Classicto Modern Rock songs. They'll be looking for clever instrumentation asopposed to the orchestral tones of a traditional lullaby. Sweetinstrumentation and effects are what's needed here n child-like andinnocent, yet created with fresh sounds and contemporary effects. You'llwant to submit lullaby covers of popular songs in the Classic to ModernRock genre n no originals, please. No vocals for this one, justinstrumental arrangements. Be sure the recordings sound excellent and theperformances/arrangements are outstanding. Please submit 2-3 instrumentalsonline or per CD, include bio. All submissions will be screened andcritiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than February 23, 2009.TAXI #S090223CHMy only suggestion would be to add some kind of quick tag in the beginning that gets us into the opening melody, instead of hitting the melody right off the bat.

Kidding!!Kathleen, this melody is really nice. Reminds me a little bit of the instrumental intro of the song "Love Songs" on James Taylor's Gorilla album.Cam

"Lolo" is officially Henry Turner Tice Nelson. He appears to be a very calm and happy baby, which means he apparently didn't inherit his mother's personality!
