Lovely. I really enjoyed this. Nice subtle tension between the melody/chords and the static base tone in "Introduction...". Lots of interesting sounds and details in both. And cheers for sharing list of what's in there, should keep me occupied for a couple of hours...

You should let these grow and evolve!

Beautiful, I love these! Full of quirk and character with great looseness, space and restraint.

Agree++ with fellow respondents. Lovely music.

The Introduction feels as though it could continue developing. What's Tragedy sounds more complete, but could go on.

But they both sound just right as they are too.

Thanks !

^^^^ what those guys said

Really nice and relaxed. Friday night and saturday night ? Just two nights ? It takes me weeks to just start...and some more to get fed up with it.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully made. It is tough job to produce this level of quality in such short times.

I enjoyed both of these, but think 'What's tragedy' is in a class of it's own. I really hope you spend more time on this. I'm seriously impressed with how much you've done in such a short time - it would take me weeks to anywhere near that!

Really nice job! What's tragedy... contains a lot of beautiful sound design.

Quick question, what synth you used on the music box-like sound that drives the melody? Ironhead?

Wow, thanks for the kind words, everyone. I appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment, and I'm glad you liked these.

@Venomeza: the music box-like sound is Pendle Poucher's Dulcitone 1884 soundfont, which can be purchased here: http://virb.com/dulcitone1884. (Check out the Pendleonium too; I don't have it yet, but that thing sounds great.)

Thanks, I will check it out.

Shhhhhhhh. Don't go telling everyone how unique and beautiful Pendle's stuff is!

I'm pretty much in agreement with everyone else. Both are lovely and I'd like to see you let "Intro" evolve some more. The sliding guitar is great. Reminds me of early Gilmore.

I just listened to "What's tragedy to you is an anecdote to everybody else" expecting to hear clever use of a Preparation H sample

and listened to the whole thing and then reread the text and realized it said Preparation P. Suffice to say I was disappointed in not hearing it, but sobering up now (beer league sunday night ice hockey) I think it's probably a good thing

Very nice couple of tracks, good laid-back feel, fine melodies.
I can't tell about sound quality since I'm listening on crappy speakers but the music is cool

Cheers
