Thx for listening bassjoker. I need to sharpen up the B section a little. You think I should add a guitar track?

It's scary enough now but building it up to something more would be even better.

221, I always enjoy listening to your creations. Always so challenging. Very dynamic and nuanced.
You always step outside the lines and bring a fresh perspective. This is a very interesting piece. I hear some Stravinsky, and some Copeland too, and some post modern noodlings.
In my opinion, this is the best creation I have heard from you.
You need to cal Momix Dance Troupe, and have them choreograph something to this.
For only being 6:02 long, this thing FKA.
Awesome, truly.

Scary as in frightening, or in messiness? :D:D Did it make you bite a towel? Thx for the feedback, stringjammer I really respect your opinion.

Sounds like a good start but for me it is not complete, but it may be for you. Thanks for sharing.

For me it created a feeling of kids in costumes trick or treating scurrying from door to door, jack o'lanterns shining in the dark. I enjoyed it. John

I've truncated it so you don't have to listen to the whole thing. But should I add this gay ending? Is it too much of a non sequitur?

not a very pc thing to say there mate - you could say 'should I add this effeminate ending?'

I didn't mean effeminate though. But I'll change it if people are upset.

I'd agree with the comment "this is the best I've heard from you!" . . . certainly mix-wise, it holds up very well. Occasionally those "bones" popped out a little too loud.
To add something, what about some "tocatta and fugue in d minor" rippin' classical organ work? That would be sweeeeet in here!
nice job!

I like the composition itself. You have some nice melodic ideas but it sounds also contemporary. More pertinently you have avoided Halloween cliches and also making it sound like a Hollywood score. But...sometimes the piece sounds out of time and i think that is the articulations for the various strings. Also, there is no volume dynamic in the parts. I am the same, i'm no MIDI/CC editor guy. And of course it would sound better with Albion or EW samples behind it...

Thank you for your valuable insight mgh. I've noticed I have timing issues, sometimes they're happy accidents but most of the time it's distracting. The recording of *camp* suffers from that (very noisy as well). If I have time I'm going to go through and re record the good ones.
