Just wanted to say for anyone interested I reposted some original tunes to my SC site. They were removed (and there is a long thread about it - not to be repeated here) , but after good advice from fellow writers here, I decided to repost them.

Thanks

Dennis
PS: just click on the signature link

Dennis - with the repost, I can now get them to play. I had tried several times, but the "song cursor" would never move. No problem now.

"Song For Melissa" is very nicely done. A terrific overall sound to it. - floyd

Hi Dennis
I listened to Bruises and Song for Melissa. Very interesting work. Well done!

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment Jo and Floyd

Bruises was a "knock-it-out" in an afternoon thing, truly Did it all in about 3 hours (can't you tell ) I might re-develop it at some stage and expand a bit.

Melissa is one close to the heart as the woman is (or rather was - estrangement due to the said domestic situation she is in) a good friend. The child is already acting out markedly at school (age 5!!)...

Anyway, again my thanks, it is appreciated

Dennis

Hmmm...
interesting that the player works for Noel but not for me, since we both surf with UBUNTU and Firefox. I must have some setting different than Noel does.

I can, however, comment on the VERY cool photos you've selected for your 1st 3 songs. For me, adding some eye-candy really ramps up the presentation's sensory appeal.

I'll go change some settings now and see if I can get Sound Cloud's player to work so I can listen...

-----------update --------------
hmm.. without changing anything, now it works. Apparently I wasn't waiting long enough. Nice songs!

Sorry Pat - I am not sure what is happening, afaik, your browser is the only one I have read is not working for some reason?


Thanks re the pics

Dennis

PS: I just remembered, when I first uploaded they took some seconds before they started playing, even for me (using Chrome) but after that they seemed to be fine. I might go and check again.

edit: all good as far as I can tell

How did you go with it Pat, still having trouble?

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

I'm really glad you decided to (re)post your work.

I'm sitting here listening to "Bruises" at the moment. It's really nicely done! You've managed to create a incredibly atmospheric work. A thought that popped into my head, early on, and refused to leave was "some mighty fine arranging in this track".

All the best,
Noel

Hey thanks Noel I truly appreciate it. Although I have to be honest as say it was all my own playing, ie no BIAB... which of course is the reason I did not list it here specifically.

But I am still glad you enjoyed it

Dennis

No, I left the window open in the background while I did something else. After a LONG wait, it started playing. Now it plays right away. Go figure.

Now that I've listened, I can say your songs sound good! Keep up the momentum, I look forward to hearing more!

Hey thanks Pat - I am pleased it worked for you (in a fashion ) sorry about that. I have been asking some m8s out here (internet whizzes) and they couldn't put their finger on it either??

Anyhoo, it was nice of you to have a listen and make a comment

Dennis
