Very nice structure.  Had the volume on too loud.

Interesting ideas in this one.

Posted with a few mistakes here and there.

Slow Song

Posted on March 22, 2011 by gilbertbabin

Trying to write something that would sound like other people’s music.

I guess if you play around chords instead of voices that should work.

Complications

Posted on March 22, 2011 by gilbertbabin

Wasn’t able to exploit the rich chordal structure but decided to post the piece because I think it has potential to become something nice if I listen to it long enough.

Sometimes we know that the idea is good but just can’t seem to get all the parts synchronized.

Our Love

Posted on March 22, 2011 by gilbertbabin

Written on the Campbellton wharf in 1984.  I would go there with a guitar and harmonica. Back then no one went on the old wharf but that afternoon a lady came by and chatted with me for a few minutes.

Just played it from memory without harmonica.

Passages

Posted on March 21, 2011 by gilbertbabin

Passages is a study in minors with a lot of double notes and a honning bass line.

Written in 1986, I stopped playing this song a few years later.
