Well done.

David,

This is one of the most enjoyable experimental pieces of music I've heard. You've shown us all that 3/4 Realtracks can work in 4/4 and that swing and even tempos don't have to fight one another.

This composition is created with flair and mixed with a ton of musicianship. I get the impression that you're a guy who really knows what he's doing when it comes to music.

Excellent, fun, totally enjoyable!

Regards,
Noel

David,

I like the piece, and that cartoon is fantastic. Is that a mellotron in the piece?

Thanks Rob! smile

I like the video idea.

I'm actually looking for someone who can do video or animation who might be interested in doing a video to promote the Shelter Cats cause.

Well that certainly drew my attention, what an excellent mix of RTs!
You have used the mix of 3/4, 4/4, swing and even in a totally different way to how I sometimes use that mix and BOY does this work!!

I am in the UK and my 2 rescue cats have just died, both 18 years old.
One was "special needs" and it took patience to get her to do stuff like using the cat flap etc. But she had a "Groucho Marx" moustache when a kitten so that sealed her life with us! laugh
Her mate was a complete pain in the butt and lived for 3 years with no ears due to cancer, but she could almost talk!
so I enjoyed the cartoon a lot.
My garden is full of birds now they are gone, funny that grin

great track
