I of course always hoped I'd get that punishment. I was even imagining rough drafts of a plot line. Of course, the teacher could tell I wanted to do it and so would never "punish" me by letting me.


Since I read your post I knew I had to make a song with that title - Life Inside A Ping Pong Ball

Life Inside A Ping Pong Ball

It ended up as an instrumental thing as I simply couldn't come up with lyrics, and my ping pong skills are not worth writing about grin
Mostly noodled with Scaler 2 and Element (Synth from Waves) and AI drummer in Logic Pro X

Well, that settles THAT question! =8^)

Thanks, this was fun.

This is great!

I love this!!

P.S., I really wish there was a lot more well thought out experimental stuff like this around here.

This sounds like a composition, and that is what I dig, no matter what genre it is.

Good work man.

First of all a humble "thank you"

Secondly - when I have tools like BIAB and Scaler 2 available (+ GarageBand for iPad), there's no excuse for not working on a proper song structure with chord progressions.

The strength in BIAB is that it puts your ideas quite well into context, but if you want to explore and go beyond intermodal scales and need total control of your piano (programming) - then Scaler 2 is fantastic (hence the UI lacks flexibility). As I mostly work on my own, I often need software/plug ins to show me other ideas than what my brain can come up with.
