my first original song - needs critiquing

Unread post by BenPezzner » Sun Aug 28, 2005 1:36 am

So this is my first attempt at an original song (lyrics and all), although I haven't finished the lyrics yet. Before I do, what do you guys think? Are the drums too busy? Is the music to backgroundish? Any ideas on how to make the bridge fit? I think the meter change may be too abrupt. Any comments would be appreciated.

http://www.pezshow.com/music.html (the song should automatically play in the background - if it doesn't let me know and I'll try and post it here)

Thanks,
Ben

ps - would it be too much if I added a cello track or two? I have a problem with making things too complex

sounds good ben. Not sure about cello, it's pretty busy, but there are some spaces in it that have room. try it out.

btw, if Piano1 were a woman, i'd marry her.

sorry guys, my hard drive crapped out on me... I'm in the process of recovering my files.

if the song doesn't automatically play, try this:

at some point when I'm back up and running I'll finish this
