This one is inspired by madness day!

I was practicing stride and left hand octaves past couple days, so I figured why not make something with it, infused with madness for today!

Thank you very much for the front page! ❤❤❤

A spooky skeleton is up to no good.

Definitely sounds like the title, very creative piece that strays from your usual style in a fun way. This really shows your depth as a musician, your ability to write emotional and dramatic pieces while also mmaking fun ragtime compositions like this.

Solacitude responds:

Thank you so much! True that it steers away from the usual. Maybe I could integrate some stride in more compositions. It would avoid also to lose the ability by not practicing it enough, I love the sound of stride! Speaking of dramatic music, did I just craft a rag time that sounds sinister?
It's not the first, but it's quite rare :)
Thank you very much for the good words and review!

Ah wow I like this a lot!

This sounds like a spooky ragtime parlour and it's awesome. Totally could fit a horror game with a western feel. Nice to see you exploring some new styles here my friend! You're doing good with this madness feel.

Happy Madness Day. I might actually upload something, I feel inspired because of you!

Solacitude responds:

There's effectively a couple ragtime techniques involved, I'm glad you noticed! And a bunch of madness as well, I tried my best to infuse a mad flavor to it. Horror/spooky is exactly the effect I wanted to create, if you perceive it, it's excellent! :D

Thank you very much for the review!

if hank wasnt a mercenary and became a talk show host this would be the shows theme song

edit: @Solacitude the stars aren’t a be all end all rating. I oftentimes wish I could rate something in between 4 and 4.5 stars, for example; this would be one of those situations.

Solacitude responds:

haha it's a weird piece as well, but you don't like it better than the aberration? There was lot more efforts put into this one. I get that it's very weird though, so it's seriously expected to be disliked by many. It's for madness day, so I hope it explains the madness into it ;) Thank for the reviews!

edit : No problem, you are absolutely free!
And as I said, I don't expect anyone to like this kind of music! It's quite a bit out of what we're used to hear from a piano, it can be easily disliked. I was only surprised about equal rating to the aberration, but tastes can't be discussed.
