Like I said in a previous thread, I have been listening to the new Tomorrowmen a whole lot since I bought it a week ago. Their tunes have really inspired by to think outside of the box as a songwriter. I wrote this tune yesterday, called "Solar Tide."
http://www.jordansternmusic.com/Site/Surf_Instro_Project_files/Solar%20Tide.m4a
It is a short tune, with an ambiguous sense of key center, that eventually settles around B minor. I use a lot of whole tone scale ideas.
Check it out if you have a free 2 minutes. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, this is one of the few ways I have to share the tunes I write, as I am still trying to get a band together here in S.A.
2 Quick Disclaimers...
- This tune is nowhere near as cool as the tomorrowmen...
- Let's not go off on a "that's not surf music" or "teachers make lousy rockers" tangent.

A movie sound track (possibly sci-fi) if ever I heard one! IMO

Wow Jordan, I'm beyond flattered by your kind words and your demo. There's some cool stuff on there, and I can see how there's some commonality with the Tmen. Look for a PM...

That is a really sweet tune! I can hear the Tmen influence.
Now to just figure out how to time travel...

Thanks for the encouragement guys. As far as sounding like a sci-fi soundtrack, the whole tone scale has always been a favorite of composers writing for sci-fi flicks because of its eerie, floating quality.
And as far as the time travel goes, I'm watching eBay for a flux capacitor...

Wow! This is great!
It's shocking how much this sounds like a Danny Snyder composition. The moving bass-line that really makes it Tmen-ish. Awesome, awesome work.

Cool stuff! For some reason the intro makes me think of The Simpsons theme song.
