Nice! did you rehearse it first, or is it more like an improv?

A haunting composition, with skeletal hands, a severe succession of minor chords, and a firelight perspective. I'm getting in the mood for the HallowDay. Thanks Russell, for the surprise.

Very Timburtonesque. You're the Danny Elfman of the Stick. Magnifique!

Re: A song for Halloween, Spooky Things - by Russell Keating
That was fantastic. It is amazing to see how each player can essentially re-invent the instrument for me. The way Russell goes in and out of major / minor chords, the way the bass line and melody are intertwined and played in the right hand (!). The way the right hand holds the repeated section, carrying the rhythm. Clever? Yes. Good songwriting? Definitely. Spot on performance? Check! I also like the wicked little carousel ride at the end as well - intertwined hands on the melody side - so versatile!

Brilliant! Great friggin vibe and atmopshere. God I hope this isnt weird of me but we should try and collaborate sometime. I have liked some of your other stuff too, in fact I'll go to your page now and check em out. Virtual dropbox is free and you can trade files/wav.aiff ect. We could make some scary but harmonically sweet stuff, this is of course if your down. Demonic and tranquil hails from space
