To Be a Kid

Unpredictability, energy, charm - all are parts of childhood, and all are captured in this set of six delightful pieces. The descriptive titles set the scene for each, getting the imagination in gear. Mark has chosen wonderful General MIDI sounds to bring the pieces to life, with everything from squeaky doors, footsteps and laughter, to gently falling rain. This is not just a collection of sound effects; this is real music combining acoustic instrument patches with sounds inherent to electronic instruments, creating a mix of interesting colors. A great introduction to twentieth century compositional techniques!
