[size=4]It's failing so far. I was tapping my foot to part of the piece, and found myself whistling an extract a few minutes ago.[/size]
[size=4]No; no cause for concern. The meds will be kicking in, shortly.[/size]
[size=4]Ah..! I hear there's someone at the door. That'll be the medics kicking in the door...[/size]
[size=4]Maybe I should stop playing this track so loudly..? :gas: [/size]

Glad you've seen the light! :gas:
And I've just had the greatest possible compliment for this future no.1 (not no. 2!!!); a friend just played it to her little boy, he looked at her beseechingly and said "please Mummy, make it stop!"

Ah..! So that's what everyone has been shouting..! Seems a shame, though, just when we'd got to the drunken pianist part (again...). OK, I'll turn it down for now and wait until they're all gone to bed, then enjoy another couple of hours of it. Catchy, innit..? I SAID, CATCHY, INNIT..? Oh, never mind.

This month Lurksalittle has gone one better and filmed .........the making of TRAIN...

I think it will eventually have a different title, but as a working brief I give you ........

I think I may have misled you there, that you tube link isn't my entry , or even part of it ,

The music isn't the music for the composition , that is just Lurksalittles trailer score :blush:

I fear my tune will be a bit lacklustre after that introduction :lol:

We very much appreciate your hospitality Douglas , a fine insight indeed , brilliant work , applause from the Lurks household my friend , on a creative note, an extra title sequence in the middle to build up the drama would work well ;) :D.
thanks for sharing :)

And another wow - some great talent in the Lurks household (and just a little wicked humour)!!

Done; your wish is my command, or 'How to learn from the experts in one easy lesson'..!

(Your embedded 'quote' is therefore now pointing to the old version. Compare and contrast..? :blush: )

OK then, back on to the subject in hand and the composition challenge :rolleyes:

I kind of drew a few parallels ;) with this one, to a slow, old, stoked and loaded smoker ( or is that smoked and loaded toker) anyway, this one won't exactly run away with you , but the groove might chill you out a bit :D

I hope you enjoy

My entry...

[url="https://soundcloud.com/robotrobotrobotmusic/train-of-very-little-thought"]https://soundcloud.c...-little-thought[/url]

Certainly not Dad standards but it will have to do. My weakness is always that I can never bring myself to put enough time into stuff.

Anyhoo...second!

:D

certainly drives along , you get the idea of the trains momentum great stuff

Here we go...
Somehow the train reminded of the nightmare truck attempting to kill Dennis Weaver in Speilberg's movie "Duel" - like it's relentless, unstoppable, out of control, just like this rather tuneful bit of piano "jazz".
For your delectation and delight (or perhaps disappointment and disgust) I give you 2 minutes 35 seconds (but may feel much longer) of:

Mad , i think that is the right word , yes mad :D , and incredible , that fits as well :D

Ed to add , Unbeknown to me, Mr Smalls piece followed straight on on the soundcloud playlist from Paul h's track , Thinking to myself 'WTF is this one' it soon became clear..........

You're too kind.

I was happy with the chord progressions and then my inability to finish anything properly took over :D The trick is that the tempo increases by 5bpm over the course of the track :D

That's subtlety for you..! I had mine plunge down to 50% (hits an incline...) before recovering and accelerating back up and away to 150%..! Subtle, me..? Not 'arf..! :lol:
