Unnamed new tune

After finishing annotating the In Flames tune in my last post, I turn my attention to a commission on behalf of a friend.
He bought my offer of a new and original work of music written in his honour.
I have taken the last five lunchtimes to write this as yet unnamed ditty:


Obviously this is a nasty beepy midi version so all the usual provisos apply. I will record it in due course. My home computer is currently in bits so this could take some time.
The tune itself is a bit of a homage to one of my favourite bands Cardiacs, and the solo works of their main man Tim Smith. Tim, who is a musical hero of mine, is currently very ill following a heart attack. The tune itself has a tinkly music box theme which runs through the whole thing. This is a nod to Tim's solo work "Sleeping with the Snake" on his "Oceanland World" CD, and also the rhythmic patterns on "Wireless" on Cardiacs amazing album "Sing to God Part 1". It mimics the band's psychadelic pop style, without their punky edge. I'm going to go instead for soft falsetto pop vocals in the style of Icelandic group Sigur Ros when I do the recording. I haven't written lyrics yet.
The music box motif is also a direct rip off of an In Flames tune, the name of which escapes me at the moment. I am perfectly prepared to admit when I've plagiarised other people's work. I see no problems with doing that. I think my song writing stands alone as original even with borrwing other people's ideas wholesale.
