Do it the hard way

Liner Notes

I had one tablescrap that I didn't finish, so I 'fawmed it', bringing the count to 15!

It was the first attempt at song 5 (Dark art) which I scrapped after I did the chorus, to start over with that song. Now, I didn't want to leave it lying around, so I added a verse, intro, ending and the transitions between the various parts, and I think it's a pretty decent #instrumental #rock piece.

This is a darn sight better than "pretty decent" as far as I'm concerned. It's epic! It delivers a sense of bombast without being overwhelming, and it's powerful without becoming overblown. Like a mash-up of the best bits of Jan Hammer's and Hans Zimmer's musical styles, and stuffed full of wonderful sounds. Ace!

I like this! There's a lot going on but at the same time it feels kind of chill and laid-back. I don't know why, but it's kind of making me feel like I should be watching some sort of montage sequence in an '80s TV show. 😅

Very cool composition, sounds and production. Adventous and fun.

This has industrial film score written all over it! (I mean that in a very good way!) I listen to a lot of library music to get ideas, particularly for grooves, and your stuff is certainly as good as anything I hear on the production music sites! I love the underbed of activity in this -- keeps it driving! And the changes are insane! Ticks all the boxes for me! Well done! #tit4tat

Love this!! Has some progressive Jazz components, but there's so much going on I think it morphs into various styles...which is engaging and impressive!! I love the descending progs in places. sweet keys, so well thought out and performed. The song is a magnet that just pulls me in, makes me close my eyes an immerse myself in the composition. loved it alot!! #tit4tat

Oh this is cool. There's so much going. The ARP is really interesting and there are some really dramatic drums in there too. And the modulations are wild. Like William said below it's being on an adventure, and I loved it. #tit4tat

What a cool piece! and to think it was almost left behind. This has a very inquisitive feel. Almost like exploring. It has the grandeur and little bit of the sense of danger too. Like an epic adventure! #tit4tat

I really like the octaves in the top line towards the middle and the mixed instrumental textures. Nice mix of all the voices.

Yeah, glad you fawmed this one! I like those guitars, and there's definitely something dark here compared to your other songs. But then there's light and lightness.

Really enjoying the production, I would love to know what DAW you're using and how you're producing your songs!
