Description : Something that I've managed to pluck out from my overcrowded mind. Usually there's so much going on up there that I don't know what to do first.

I'll leave it up to you to interpret the message in this piece ;) It's not that hard to figure out.

Used a midi keyboard, plus soundfonts, using Microsoft DirectMusic as my sequencer. Then mixed it using Cool Edit Pro. It was hell to play (still is), and my fingers were probably about to fall off, but it was worth it.

Everything, 100%, by me. No samples. Just me, my brain, and my hands.

Hope you like it poppets,
Ria Rosa

Magic melody. With enormous energy. You've reminded Monsi Barson (Madness).

What a talent u r!My fingers nearly fell off just listening,How yours are still on ,is amazing!
Cool title,fits the track well and altogether,a good production.
It reminds me of those very old movies where there was no sound,just a piano playing.My gran was one of those pianists and I totally respect you for bringing this back.I hope the younger generation apreciate the enormous amount of talent it takes to do something like This!Absolutely awesome!

I love this track & the style first one of yours ive listened to so far, your gonna set thoose midi ivorys on fire! love the can can swing of it at first then right into the dramatic silent film dual/stand off type atmosphere the modest drums in the background blend well, dont over crowd things and the follow with the military style mental picture im getting thats good as well, the end seems too remind me of old silent cartoons but it has a rejoycing victorious survivor type feel to it, but then the very end gives me the impression that our boy got smoked! Kinda cruel in a way to end a song like that! but hey, art imatates life and life dont always end well! mad piano/key skills on this one, i really appreciate the style/feel that seems far to overlooked in this moderen day and age!

You are so talented! I love the very mystique sound of this entire composition! It's unlike anything I've ever heard, and it does sound like "it was hell to play." I am simply impressed by the song and by you, the artist Scriptique.

Just a question what was that weird noises at the end.

They sound like a creepy monster jeje but they sound good

Hehe thanks, that's the image many of the Loopers think of as well! Which means good stuff, since it means I've successfully executed this song.

keep up the good work sargeant G........was this inspired at all by the recent ANZAC day publicity?......"rapid fire" piano was made with courage and valour......my salute to you
Scriptique
Scriptique replied Unknown
lol thanks. No not at all. I composed this ages ago and was actually initially titled "Infestation". It originally had knives sharpening and unknown things being sliced up in the background (and it would have conjured quite a different image to what you're hearing now)

But after sampling with the snazzy guns, I decided that the WWI theme suited it better. I then changed the tempo, cut up sections and added new ones, en voila, a pest infestation turned into an infestation of a different kind!

You have a great talent. I love the use of your piano. My husband overheard your song and said it sounded great and asked me to give you a good review. I look forward to the day that I can break free of pre-recorded loops and make my own music like you have. God willing I will have a mini studio some day ;)

Ohhh I'm so sorry. I have loads of tracks, but I've written "Rerecord" on every single one of them, whether it be the piano, or the vox, or the whole damn thing. I'm never really quite happy with my music. $%*#!

Dear Kate
Just a line to let you know that I am going on alright and that I am in good health. I had a letter from Ilkeston telling me about dad, I was very sorry to hear it but it as been wonderful how he as kept up. The weather here as been very changeable just lately plenty of rain but we have had it hot now and again. We can get plenty to eat were we are just now, such as fruit and eggs. The scenery is also very pretty. did you get over to Ilkeston, if you did, how long did you stop. I have had a letter from Jack and he told me that Mr Thomas's eldest son had been killed in Palestine that is the second son he has lost it is very hard lines and I was sorry to hear it. They were both officers. one was in the West Riding's Batt. There is only one son left but he is only about 17 1/2 years.
I have put a letter for you in Ethels envelope I hope you get it alright, let me know if you get it. Write every week if you can, it does not matter if it is only just a line or two.

With Best Love
Harry

Nice Touch with this one ! it reminded me of a black and white montage of war footage, whilst the music plays in an 8mm stuttered visiual old film type scenario............

Description : Hi, I just had to try and do my own type of music tribute to the sad and unfortunate events in Manchester the other night

I start the song off with a type of music box to represent like a young child and then i go into a violin strings to try and set the sadness and then after a while i used some soft drum and clicks to represent time ticking and then with just the piano and then in the middle of the track it picks up pace a bit and i decided on this because to represent the strength of the people that will stand strong and i once again also put the music box in with this and my reason was to be strong for the rest of the children and then i finsh up with the piano again and the ending on the drum to remember the lives sadly lost and a type of silence if it were

i really feel so sadened by this event and it trully has me in bits

may we all come together and forever be strong and stand up to these horrible people who think they can destroy us and our children and families and loved ones

God Bless you all and stay safe and be strong
