the bastille

early october

old school

just a little something I created with lmms, though sometimes I think you're better off just playing real instrument. I add vocals later on with audacity. 

58 ovations

    

Just something I created with lmms. The title comes from the other day when congress gave 58 standing ovations to Netanyahu. Tragic. I haven't used lmms in along time, so this isn't as good as some previous attempts. But I hope to improve.

Sloppy Waltz

A Sloppy Waltz by johnyorks

This is just as the title says, pretty much a sloppy waltz. Not too waltz like, but then if it was, it wouldn't be sloppy enough.

Another short one with the bass on top, as that makes sense to me.

Boot (uke and bass with musecore)

This was the best 25 seconds of written notation I came up with thus far. I stopped doing it, but might try to improve again if I have(make) time. I've always been weak on written notation, because it is so much easier just to play and record than to write it.But now, tht I am learning simple coding, it seems not very different from that. I've really caught the html coding bug, but am truly not very good at that yet either...

Boot by johnyorks

Oh, here's a better way

Now I know how to do this. Anyway, here is "Boot - Uke/Bass" one more time, but now with a better viewer. The notation plays along with the midi file, but I couldn't get the embed code to work, so here is the link: Boot

Some of the audio from these scribbles

Here is some of the audio from these scribbles I've been writing. I suppose it can only get better one might say. But the last one is particularly not bad. And if I left the drums out of the first, it would have been better. Of course, if it was real instruments instead of midi synth, then it might come across more too. This would be especially the case with the one I wrote for ukulele and bass. Of course, the ones I like best are the ones that use the chord pattern that signifies old time Rock and Roll. I've always liked that one best, and it is found in many pop songs today in different keys. Writing in drums can be hard to do sometimes, at least in this way. Sometimes I write part of the drums in my recording program, and it seems to work better. Hopefully, I'll have a longer more complex piece soon enough. Not too complex though, because I like to keep it simple also. I hope to learn more about using syncopation. I have the link on my blog link list, but for good measure, let me include it here.
