Turn Out The Lights

"Turn Out The Lights" is another of my archived/back-burner pieces.  This was one of my more difficult songs to compose and orchestrate.  Everything heard here was manually orchestrated...no preset rhythms or beats.  The drum sequences were created manually using the Standard Drum Kit from my Korg Triton Studio Keyboard.  This was also different for me in that you will NOT hear my usual keyboard lead on this.  (I'm not going to tell you...you'll have to listen and be pleasantly suprised....I hope).

Anyway, please sit back and take a listen to this while I pull my next archived creation out and bring it to life!

Enjoy!

Hi Brenda:

And, what a very pleasant surprise, indeed!  Let me just say right away, this is a sweet song.  I mean really sweet!  Its smooth and mellow R&B flavor, soaks right in, Brenda.   I remember (very well) those late-night sessions...  (And, that's all I'm going to say about that)! <LOL>  

On the technical side, the xylophone is such a pretty instrument -- especially when its sound is demonstrated with such an illustrious flair.  (Big cheers for your Korg Triton Studio Keyboard; one of the true classics among keyboard instruments).

Pushing all that aside, I loved listening to this piece, and your (personal/manual) touch on this offering, is clear and deliciously present.

Kudos!

Hey Brenda

Everything that Griff said PLUS...I love the chords you use  on the piano.  Not too many instruments to take away from the simple but effective melody line of the xylophone.  I would be thrilled to compose a piece like this.  I admire your work on the drums, You have a knack. Keep on bringing in those "back burner" tunes.

Hi Brenda,

So smooth, loved the mellow groove. Yes, a different "vibe" for you! LOL. Nicely arranged and recorded.

This is the type of music that makes you want to find your significant other, hold on tight and sway to the gorgeous melody.

This is truly one of the best mellow tunes I have heard in a long while.

Geat job, I'm tucking this away into my Fav's for sure.

Best Regards,

Stu

Smooth, jazz perfection.  So mellow it makes you slide of the chair as the mood overtakes you.  Gorgeous piece, Brenda.  You and your work are real gems.
