"Hi Rick,
This Beatles-y tune would fit in well with a video game, in fact it reminds of one called Monkey Island. The instrument balance seems ok to me, nicely done!

This one I will admit is a challenge for me to appreciate. This may be in part due to the fact that I am not a big fan of atonal approaches. But I have listened to a lot of it, and there are things I listen for, such as a cohesive overall…"

A delightful piano composition - Peacherine Rag
Posted on December 9, 2014 at 12:47am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I started composing because of the music in the movie "The Sting" - the ragtime of Scott Joplin. His music is not only great sounding, but a fun fit fit for the fingers - physically enjoyable to play. Here's a piece which was not in The Sting, but which is a delightful example of his work - about 3 minutes long -

The middle section (starting at about 1:50) particularly is delightful…
