A possible exercise in futility
 
Seven of Four
 
Thanks for listening.
 
Following on from the words of wisdom below Seven of Four 2 

HEY WOOKIE!
 
i like the melodies and ideas,
but the drum track......
 
i hear an african or morrocan 'drone' beat here,
no 'ones' and 'fours', but a churning, 
mellow but driving rhythm, using ANYTHING except a rock drum kit.
 
i don't know if you have anything in your bag of furry tricks,
maybe some loops,
something,
but if you were to put in a nice polyrhythmic syncopated kind of beat,
and add some ambient noise (maybe wookie hollers), i think that would dial this in.
 
 

I'm with batsbrew on the hit on four, I feel like that beat puts the anticipation in an odd place. Nice mix and sounds, I can't think of what exactly it reminds me of but I know it's something..... 

Very furry, furball.  The drums have a nice, solid sound but I would like to hear something like Rob (Batsbreath) is talking about, just for fun  Like programming drums is fun!.   This tune has some nice movement to it.  You know what I was hearing while listening (in my little mind) was a nice choral part.  There is a drone underneath that kinda sounds like choral but is one of your synths.  Ha, I just rolled of the chair.  I am laughing at myself giving ideas that I can't even explain.  Well, it's nice, John.  Now lick your paws and get back to work.

Thanks Gonzo, I hear you I just wanted to play around with Superior Drums and an odd time signature.
 
Thanks David for giving my exercise in 7/4 time a listen as I say was just playing perhaps I need to revist with that poly rhythm idea of Bat's.
 
Sorry Warren did not mean for you to fall out the chair will put this on the rethink pile.  I have some odd hand percussion knocking about the studio and I did add the Djembe, Cajon and Bongo's to my AD2 selection so I may just go have a play.
 
Thanks for the listen and comment all of you, appreciated. 

What I like most about this style is the optimism that comes out of it. The progression change adds some "struggle" but the piece ends on a positive note. It reminds me of Owl City. With or without lyrics it could also be a children's song or an accompaniment to a film segment. Nice.

Very pleasant listen for me, John, but I kept waiting to hear some counter melodies.  I think there's more to build on here.

My thanks Dena appreciate you time to take a listen and comment. 
 
Cheers Phil yeah I know, bad lazy Wookiee it is back on the DAW though a little different percussive take, who knows what might happen now.

Wookie, this piece really got interesting around the 2:30 mark when you when to a most beautiful progression that I didn't see coming.  This could be the start of something big.

Well that was 4 min of fun. A good start, nice and clean, uplifting, happy go lucky. I also felt it needed to have some other developing interests - tho I have a bad habit of over working a piece. Perhaps a build up, then back to simple sort of thing?
