So, what happens when you’re all medicated and logy and can’t keep a harmonic structure in your brain to save your life? A solo piece! In this case, it is a bass clarinet solo, that I later added low strings to.
Dissappointment.

I’ve spent far too much time crafting the mix and feel of this piece, so it is quits-time, go-time, time to put this piece out before I go crazy with more and more fixes. This piece was finished 9 times, and was always not quite right. The 10th time might not be right – but it needs to be “done” sometime.
Firmament.

And just for fun contrast, you can take a listen to what it sounded like in its first incarnation.

After a few requests for “Backed Vibes” but without all the beeping, I’m putting that cut online as Backed Vibes (clean).
Enjoy!

Well, today’s offering is a doozey.
I wrote this piece, and I really, really like it… but have no idea what to call it.
I can’t even tell the genre.
Please send your ideas for titles to: kevin@incompetech.com With a subject of “Title Idea”.
Thanks, and enjoy!

UPDATE!
Thanks to Bill for his suggestion of “Monster’s Stroll”! I did end up going with “Monster Promenade” for reasons that it is annoyingly difficult to make a title with an apostrophe in it.
Thanks to all who sent in your suggestions!

This is a sort of shrill piece all on its own, but I wrote it during a quite nasty and hot thunderstorm, and it compliments that setting very well.
I’ve had this one on repeat for a few hours already… yeah – my life is that exciting.

So you’re thinking of doing a revival tour, but you don’t have a band to back up your inspirational speech? Good news, good news indeed. This piece starts very thin, and builds a couple of times.
People seem to love the long pieces of music, this one is remarkably versatile and listenable, given there are only 2 chords.
