Crossing Over - an original by Mark Styles

Posted

Here is a song I originally wrote last Fall, as my mom was passing away, and I was staying with her in Boston.  The original version was quite long.  I cut it in half, and hand played a few new parts.  All the original material was done in SFP. 

 

I really wouldn't have been able to lay out ideas and flesh them out, without this software.  I did port over to Logic for some additional work.

Nice, I like the textures and rhythm very much.

Try more harmonic contrast by setting the backing instruments to stronger harmony (chords & extensions only, not full scale). This will make the progression more recognizable and separate lead voices from the background.

Thanx for the comments.  I love reading your posts, cause there is always some little nugget of insight, that doesn't seemed to be documented.  I will try your idea, yeah misunderstanding full scale, I've been using it, a lot.
