I thought having been laid off would give me a lot of time to work on music. Turns out looking for a job can take as much time as having a job.
Speaking of being laid off. It didn’t inspire the grim title or picture accompanying this tune. It was named Bones when it was just a minute long music file languishing on my hard drive, forgotten, until I came across it - as an archaeologist might, searching for inspiration for my song for May.
Why it was called Bones I don’t really remember. Maybe the clanky sounds of the primary instrument sounded like bones to me. Now it sounds more like one of those African thumb pianos. Or more accurately, an ensemble of African thumb pianos. The music itself is not particularly grim or creepy.
This piece was produced entirely within Reason 4.0 and contains no real instruments. 100% artificial ingredients with fillers and preservatives…. Although I think the main instrument sounds pretty natural.
Happy Listening: bones

I enjoyed this one. Here is my semi-monthly take on the visuals that this piece would accompany. The song is, in my opinion, a piece that starts during the last 2 minutes of the movie and fades up for the closing credits. I imagine the final scene with a mother watching her children on a playground after enduring a severe crisis earlier in the movie, or perhaps a long shot of a ship raising its sail after the protagonist (who is sailing it) is aquitted. I liked the up beat which utilizes a dark sound. I also appreciate the fact that this song is 100% computer generated. Nice work.
