too much for the kiddies?

[Sonicseven]

I am at work now so I can't listen to this piece, will do so when I get home.
As far as what type (dark or light) of atmosphere you want to capture, I would go with a little of both(not too dark, nightmares are hard to deal with when you are the parent) I have two cds that were made during planetarium shows, one by Ian Boddy, "Chiasmata" that was recorded live somewheres in Britain (Scottland I believe) that has a bit of both and I don't think it would be inappropriate for young children and another from John Serrie called Stargazers Journey that also has some darker elements. Both have been held at planetariums with great success.
The other thing you could do is work with your son and see what he thinks and maybe let him participate in the recording somehow (how old is he?) and get the kids eye view so to speak.

I'm sure this will be a hit with the kiddies - it's very beautiful.

However if you really want to win 'em over change your name to Vurt Timberlake , or if the kids are older than I imagine then maybe Vurt Cobain

Try as I might I can't get my songs to go longer than 4:36

You f**king prog rocker, thats a whole minute too long!

@ DT. Don't make me dust of those old Rick Wakeman and JMJ CD's mate!!

This one has Jupiter written all over it, I would not say dark as much as big, and every now and then one of the moons pops up and dances across the face of the big planet. I think this is appropriate as long as you have some diversity in your other parts this should do fine. One thing that might work is to get a sky chart like Hnsky and pick some objects and then write a tune for each object.

This earns the SaviorNeeded Seal of Approval (which is that little red mark you get on your forehead when you step on a long-handled rake).

My years of experience with the little monsters tell me...

1. No child will run screaming from the room because of this music.

2. In fact, the unappreciative little brats won't even notice the music.

3. And if one does he/she won't say anything to you if you're there because you're old and scary unless...

4. Your son is popular enough that his dad gets an honorary pass into the world of the living.

5. No kid can hold it for three hours, but that's the school's problem. Don't take it personal.

Good job as always (and throw in some v-box, why don'tcha)

vurtsne!

wow .. thats top work. sometimes i also asked myself if its too dark, but then again its space .. children or not, its still space.

this was a very nice listening .. thanks for that

and good luck in continuing ..

I was listening to this but missed most of it as I had to get up and change my son's nappy. Is that the effect your're after? I'm listening again, if he wets himself once more it'll be my wife's turn.
