Carystas

PROJECT: Original
WRITTEN AND SEQUENCED BY: Tony Dickinson
INSTRUMENTATION: Atmospheres, Synths, Strings, Ney Flute, Various Percussion
GENRE: Ethnic Orchestra

NOTES: This is an original tune I originally wrote for the Composition Combat competition at remixsite.org, until I found out how stupid the voting system was going to be. Well…at least I got a new song out of it. E.S. Posthumous style using my Orchestra libraries. It’s still in somewhat of a draft format, but I wont be completing it for a while.

Carystas is an ancient Greek city that apparently had a rough time. Since this was somewhat E.S. Posthumous style, I decided to follow their naming scheme and chose the name of an ancient city.

THEME: “It's like going to a fat convention wearing a chainmail of donuts.” – Mattew Pollard
WRITTEN, PERFORMED AND SEQUENCED BY: Tony Dickinson
INSTRUMENTATION: Guitar, Fiddle, Bass, Drums, Piano Synth, Percussion, Acoustic Bass, Honky Tonk Piano, Goofy Muted Brass
PROJECT: Kwakfest
NOTES: Kwakfest is a periodic competition where musicians (at variable degrees of intoxication) gather in an IRC room, and given a theme, need to create a MIDI song in 1 hour. It’s quite intense. This is my second Kwakfest. Most of my Kwakfests feature mucho copy&pasting, 1000 genres and break neck transitions.

The tempo change in the beginning didn’t exactly work out like I wanted it to…hmm…

POSTED June 26th, 2008

NOTES: This was my first idea for a Senior Recital for my high school. In the process of writing this song, I found the most cartoony, well-known songs that didn’t entirely suck and threw them all together in one gigantic medley. The instrumentation was setup for the 6 then-seniors in my high school’s drumlne. The songs are as follows:

  • Mario (Overworld and Underworld)
  • The Enzyte Theme
  • Popcorn by Hot Butter (Old 70′s hit)
  • Intro to a Weird Al polka
  • Benny Hill theme
  • Country Music by Stu Hamm
  • Play That Funky Music
  • Country Music again
  • Rapper’s Delight
  • Country Music the third time
  • The Dance Of Eternity (Honky Tonk Break) by Dream Theater
  • Family Guy Theme
  • "Woo Hoo" by the 5 6 7 8′s
  • The Simpsons’ Theme
  • McDonald’s Jingle
