I have taken up the hobby of creating original music with Midi using Cakewalk since the Covid-19 pandemic started. I have always preferred instrumentals and I am enjoying my creations. Here are the mp3 files of my music. Listen and/or download them if you like. They are all instrumentals without lyrics.
I seem to enjoy them more than most people but you might find something you like. There is some variety in them. They are in the order I wrote them so the get a little better toward the bottom, yet my favorites are spread throughout. There are 28 songs posted now.
People often tell me it sounds like the background music of a movie. I have no idea what genre they would be classified as. They are for your enjoyment as is and are not to be modified unless permission is granted.
1. This was the first song I did. Thus, the name "My Simple Tune." It uses Piano, guitars and drums. Simple and mellow.
2. My second song was originally called "slow run" but it has been renamed as "Dripping Honey." It has pianos and drums. It is not really all that slow and the addition of drums makes it seem faster.
3. This is my first use of distortions which at the time I thought of as synthesizers. It is called "Synt2" for lack of a better name.
"Synth2C" is a remixed airy sounding version I made after I had more experience.
4. "Saxophone Meadow" is a slow clean and peaceful piece using a piano and saxophones
5. "Screamo" gets its name from the sound of it. It is Piano and strings fed through distortion.
6. "Smooth" is another peaceful piece. It is using guitar, strings and saxophones.
7. "Coffee and Cream" is one of my favorites. There is tension between the coffee and the cream as they swirl around in the cup because coffee would rather not have cream in it.
8. "Brass Melody" uses piano, saxophones, bass, and drums.
9. The Happy Jogger is an interesting and more energetic piece with a nice melody. It uses piano, synthesizer, strings, flute, saxophone, and drums along with distortions.
10. "Merry Hearted" (file name:Melody3b.mp3) is happy and upbeat. Using Piano, guitars, strings, saxophones, and drums. it has distortion on the guitar and drums.
11. "With determination" (filename:melody9b) uses strings, cymbals, and piano to produce a sense of plodding forward undeterred.
12. "Conversations" (filename:Meleody_10b) uses strings and piano to produce a playful tune.
13. "Thinking of You" (filename:Melody_12.mp3) a somewhat somber yet too happy to be called "Missing You" tune.
