Hi All, Here is a song I wrote to try and capture a fun night at the movies.
If you listen to the Intro it will hopefully remind you about silent movies.
If you can make it to the Instrumental it should remind you of many movies.
If you can make it to the end it will remind you of another movie.

Give me your movie thoughts on this one - and remember it's fun

Here it is: Picture Show

Regards
Michee

Hi Michee,
i like it a lot. Very good melody and composition. Guess that one will be in my ears for the next couple of days. Very enjoyable.

It’s also very good.

I could listen to a whole CD of this style of music.

Hi All, Thank you for your kind words.

I used the following:
****** Song Summary *************
Title: Picture Show
File:Picture Show.SGU
Key=Dm , Tempo 145, Length (m:s)=2:57
4 bar intro, 99 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 103. Repeat x1 chorus
No Melody
No Soloist track.
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Soloist is saved with the song : Pop 16th. Guitar (126)
Style is FLOYD.STY (Floyd Cramer Piano)
Style MIDI Instruments are : Acoustic String Bass (33), Honky Tonk Piano (4), Jazz Electric Guitar (27), Strings (49),
MIDI Drums :1 Standard Drum Kit (1)
I did try a soloist but it just didn't work with the song style I was trying to convey.
I also used a Korg Triton keyboard that was used to enhance and add to the song.
I then saved it as a midi file and added the beginning zoom!!
But most of all I used FUN FUN FUN.
*******************

If anyone is interested I could place the BIAB sgu file for you. Let me know.

Regards
Michee

George,

I am in the same camp as the earlier replys, this was a very enjoyable listen. Particulary like the Singing In The Rain closing.

Later,

That was simply fantastic. Great stuff from start to finish. Visions of the silent movies, old western saloon piano, and all the wonderful effects, right down to Singing in the rain. Captivating from start to finish. Excellent work, a hit if I've heard one. Great vocals, excellent mix and superb production.

Hi PgFantastic, That was what I was aiming for.
I tried to think how I could invoke memories of times past.

Very nice indeed!
The intro reminded me of the intro of the Paradise Theatre Tour that Styx did.
Great work.

Really cool song George, I loved every minute of it. If you decide to post the .sgu file somewhere, let us know, I'd like to have that as well. I wish we had a place on the forum to post rather than having to go thru a third party.

great job.
