'Ghost Stories' Round 1

[phekwig]

The mood is perfectly ominous... Love it!

Hey Phekwig! Well this is that sombre piece we were talking about. So I'm delighted you liked it ;8)

[bCurious2]

Fabulous!!This just shows again what an incredible composer you are Link! Such an amazing atmosphere you conjure up, so rich on musical color! I absolutely love your atonal harmonies! Absolutely brilliant!.. and stunning video too!

[TheJamCommunity]

Hey thanks BC2 ;8) I've had this one on hold for a couple of months, wondering whether to go ahead — it seemed quite awkward to jam with because of those discordant bits. But I thought, in the experimental spirit of TJC, what the hell, I'll upload! ;8)

ooh! There's the dude-- over there! No! He's gone. Now he's over here-- nope. Ah! An owl who is silly, spooky and cute!!!!!!!! That was cool. I can't wait to hear where this tune goes.........

[TheJamCommunity]

Cheers G.O.D.! I sat on this one for a while — probably quite a difficult one to jam against with all the 'disharmonies'. It'll probably end up like 'Waltz of the fetuses' — but hey, that's what the TJC channel for, and why I love it: room for total unprecious musical experiment!

Very cool stuff, TheraminTrees... Great music as always, and yet another wonderful bit of animation...

Cheers!

[TheraminTrees]

Thanks a2z ;8) I've been sitting on this one for quite some time — I was chatting about it with Fehquig, when I uploaded 'Daedalus' a couple of months back. It's good to lay the ghost to rest .... if it laid to rest!! ;8)

Ace! I'll have to look out for M.R. James this Christmas. Good to see you're still cranking out beautifully atmospheric pieces Theramin!

[TheraminTrees]

Hey VP ;8) Thanks! Yes, the M.R.James TV adaptations were masterful — a real understanding of the slow, relentless build of dread.

I was already looking forward to the video for this, Link, after you played us that gorgeous, elegant piano on our visit at the weekend. What a treat!! Amazing how simply you achieve that sense of creeping isolation. Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck(!)

[TheraminTrees]

Thanks Doug! I've had this piece on hold for *ages* — had a complete block on Flash of late — so it felt good to finally get it uploaded! Hey, I wonder if they'll do another M.R.James run this Christmas ....

So great having you over at the weekend — ah, the food, the films, the Rainbow Road! ;8) Look forward to repeating it very soon! x

[Xoroaster]

These videos are awesome too.

Creeeepy! Very good Mr Trees. ;-D

[TheraminTrees]

Thanks Xoro! I'd been watching some TV adaptations of some very creepy tales by an old English writer, M.R.James — they sometimes do a run of them at Christmas over here. 'A Warning to the Curious', 'Whistle and I'll come to you', 'A view from a Hill'. Primal, unsettling stuff!
