Circus Music

[dgolding]

It's fascinating to hear the different interpretations of the requirement. I'd like to have a pop at this myself, just because it's so different from what I normally do, but most of my gear is elsewhere at the moment Both are great compositions. If I had to make any kind of comment about them, it would be interesting to hear Mazz's a little faster, and Steve's a little slower. I'm trying to imagine one of the fairground horses going up and down, and matching a tempo to that.Great work fellas, and best of luck with your submissions

Quote:Hi Mazz, Dave, Matto, VikkiI submitted something (oohLalaBand) to this listing as well. Can you have a listen and let me know what you think? It's the first song on my Broadjam page(will it even work today)http://www.broadjam.com/steveagilbertsteveHey Steve,I like the piece. It reminds me a bit of "Brazil", if you know that song. It also reminds me a bit of a hip Lawrence Welk kind of thing (I mean that as a compliment, it fits the listing).For my taste, I would have liked to have the organ solo come in earlier and then build back up to a restatement of the theme. Nice B3 playing.Very cool latin-tinged circus music...... Here's hoping we all get forwarded. They have a nice range to choose from!Mazz

I like both but especially concerning the first one, it's fun and a little corney (like it should be from a functional standpoint) but there's also a lot there for a musician to listen to with interesting, quirky things going on.Good stuff...Dave

I really like Mazz's circus band - it puts me right under the big top. It has tons of character & a sense of fun. I'm sure it will be 'forwarded'.If you guys are interested -- here's my second piece... love to have your feedback...March of the Clowns -- http://www.vikkiflawith.com/song/4

The same melody exists in both parts. I glued them together because the first piece wasn't long enough. I know it's a stretch, but for $5, I'm willing to see who bites.Lawrence Welk(perfect), too fast(maybe). When I read the listing, the calliope thing didn't stick out to me as much as the children's TV show theme and/or being accessible to adult ears. I don't have all those awesome samples you guys have, so I have to admit that I feel a little dwarfed by your music offerings.I wonder how many submissions they've gotten. good luck to all of you,steve

I picture it playing while the arcrobats are doing something.

The first half of that reminded me of being in the big top. Pretty nice. Then there was some silence. Then I wanted to get on a plane to South America and perform some latin dancing.

Quote:Hello,I just submitted the piece "Two Left Feet Waltz" to this Dispatch Listing:Upbeat CAROUSEL/CALLIOPE MUSIC INSTRUMENTALS are needed by the President of a Los Angeles-based Publishing Co. Think music from a circus or carnival; from a horse carousel ride; and from 1950s/1960s children’s TV shows (e.g. the Howdy Doody Show theme). That’s the general vibe they’re seeking. While they want tracks that relate to/represent the innocence of children, they also want these tracks to appeal to adults. Your instrumentals must be at least 1:30 in length.My take on this was to have the calliope being played along with a low budget circus band. I found a steam calliope sample online so you can hear the steam in the melody and chords. I was trying to get a fun, herky-jerky feeling, just a lilttle off kilter. www.johnmazzei.comFeedback solicited.Enjoy,MazzFinally got to hear it. BTW.Has anybody noticed the BJ player has changed?Maybe they were listening after all.Great stuff John. Another Big Big top sound.I want to go to the circus now!
