Thanks!
@BvsMV Defo caught the flavour & sounds of that decade. So much so that I'm off to find my lurid green & purple shell suit, fire up the soda stream & eat some Walls Vienetta while I listen to your track again! A really good tune, well mixed & produced.
@JohnnyGoodyear Damn it! "Adventures in babysitting" u are right,my bad! Wow! That was a hell of an essay mate.
@gburks very nice, quite bonkers in places but I must say your child has an ear for a catchy melody, although I think the lyrics might need some more refinement
What I really like though is the very creative accompaniment you created to go along with the sampled vocals, the instrumentation is a perfect match for the singing, and I love the jolly boppiness of it all. Great arrangement and structure as well.
All in all a very inventive piece of music.
@gburks I have to defer to Mister Yot, jolly boppiness is the best technical term I can think of. Think it's brilliant you're playing with the kid, just don't them set off down the long and winding app-buying road too young
@gburks Inventive, infectious & happy. Particularly like the brass & bass sounds which got me grooving away. You make a great team & I see a huge, bright future. If you've any smashed up fruit left please send as I'm making a banana cake which hopefully, like your tune, will be fulfilling & scrumptious. Fabulous tune!
Hahaha! Thanks man on the complement.
I worked with this particular Bukowski reading a while back, but couldn't get it where I wanted it. Kept working on it until, today, I've reached the point where I feel the need to cut myself free. Just leave it be. My thought or intention was to bring some dance and some rockabilly or whatever into the same place and see what I could make of it, little piece by little piece. In the end I got the feeling that Chuck was sneering at me and would likely walk out of the room unless I called it done.
@JohnnyGoodyear From the very start you had me hooked. Seriously infectious riff that nailed me to my chair forcing me to take in all of its glory. The guitar work that you've put in amongst the dance groove is fantastic & as I wasn't expecting this, took my listening pleasure to an even higher level. Your intentions worked & again created something that only you could.
Wonderful sounds that all fit together like a musical jigsaw puzzle & whereas I always seem to lose the last piece, you have not. On the second listen it ordered me to get off my arse & dance, something that my wee Bichons found hilarious to begin with but even they felt the music. I know.
PiL were on Jules Holland last night & I could see a Mr Lydon duet with your song. It would work. Your best yet.
@BvsMV: Nice snapshot of 80's musical nostalgia.
@gburks: very unusual form of trap but refreshingly different
@JohnnyGoodyear: Brilliant work. The somewhat frantic musical accompaniment strangely compliments the slow vocal delivery (which is by the way excellent!) in a way I wouldn't have expected.
@JohnnyGoodyear it's good, but no matter how many times I listen to it, all I can hear is Bukowski, the music does add somewhat to the disturbing mood of the spoken word, but honestly once you hear about the guy walking down the road with his private parts in his pockets the voice is really the only thing you are listening to. It makes me feel queasy to think about it.
@JohnnyGoodyear I think the music is great. My brain has a difficult time in general digesting words/lyrics without concentrating. Ah, there you have it. On my next listen now. Impressive mix of music and sounds. Would be interested to know the construct. Love that killer little key/organ riff.
I managed to slip a little Hazel in right at the end, but Bukowski's material always makes up for his somewhat drunk delivery. Well, not always, but mostly. This piece really needs far better producing than my limited ears allow for, but I need to get if off my (mixing) desk.
Thanks Captain. I suppose, in some other more detail-oriented world, I would have cut Bukowski up into small pieces (appropriate considering the subject matter
and time-stretched his phrasing to the beat better, but I actually like the stumbling quality of it, the quick and slow etc. I was thinking of the thing more as if one might be listening to it in some rather shabby club where one of the local drunks, unsteady on his feet, was monologuing his odd tale while the alien house band thrashed away...only afterwards did you think, what the hell was that all about?
Thanks so much. Bichons, I've found, are very sensitive to sound. I realized how much I loved ours when it became obvious that he would much rather snooze to Neil Sedaka than pogo to Black Rubber Bag, but what can you do?
Wow, that just %&*##ing moves. And great atmosphere. Most excellent.
Thanks Mister Monkey. It is a bit of a soup, which was my intention/wish, but hard to keep it from spinning out of control. I fear my lack of engineering/production chops show up in this area, but I'm trying to not be too constrained by that. Can be a procrastinator's excuse hereabouts.
ok here's my thing - it started life as a Fugue Machine jam, but ended up as something else. The noisy synth at the beginning, before the FM sequence kicks in is the iVCS3. I wanted to add more of that later in the song, but Auria just wasn't having it, so I moved on to Thumbjam flutes, Audiostretch, iFretless and loads of other madness.
The song is unfinished - I wanted to add more vocals via Audiostretch but when I tried Auria threw a wobbly and corrupted the file. I'd also planned some more guitar, and better definition to the sections, making it more of a thing, but I think I'm pushing Auria a bit harder than it likes.
I'll post a few more responses to other tracks later - it'd be nice to get a few more on mine this month. Anyway, there's some nice bits I think (I'm chuffed with the flute salad at the end) even though there was more to do, so welcome to my dream soup:
@monzo: wow that is quite a listening experience! Great work. GOt a lot packed in there, no wonder Auria is feeling the strain
@Monzo I really liked that opening synth! Man,you do textures so well,seriously:)
I found it quite spooky almost sinister in places and then you brought in some strings and flutes later which lightened it up a bit which were very nice,especially the flutes! How did you speed them up like that? Audiostretch? Any way it felt weirdly to me like
Oops...sorry,as I was saying it felt to me like I was listening to a musical battle of goodies vs baddies....ultimately the goodies one! Haha! I love "flute salad" that's a band right there...maybe not such a rock n roll one however,but def a band my mum would like!:D
Anyways I'm rambling...basically,I enjoyed this one mate,nice one!:D
@monzo Listened to it quietly and then decided to turn it the hell up and listen again.
Louder, especially, it actually sounds rather grand or stately, song for an empire not collapsing as much as slowly descending into unnoticed decay. The category machine of my head calls this modern classical (and that was before the lovely flute salad which does bring us back down to earth very sweetly).
Almost all pieces, songs, I listen to I can ascribe a culture or country to; not this one.
Thanks, yeah think I'm pushing it a bit!
Thank you! I used Audiostretch on the vocal snippets, to make my voice sound like a ladies. I was going to do some more of that, and also written proper lyrics that I was going to sing just before Auria borked. I might have another go - bring this in as a single track and add overdubs onto that to take the strain off Auria.
I knicked that reference from a track by Gong, because my flute came out sounding very similar to theirs at the end
Thank you. I'm in the middle of a book called 'Electric Eden' at the moment, and as a result listening to a bit of the Incredible String Band, amongst more obscure psychedelic/folk bands from the 60's and 70's. I think reading about that mix of eclecticism and other-worldliness could be having a bit of a subliminal effect on what I do when I pick up the iPad. I'm trying to add depth, interest and feeling but trying to avoid too many cliche's.
@monzo listened a few times now.. Great track. I agree with others and especially what you said " depth, interest and feeling". The "unfinished" comment reminds me of some great abstract artists I know who somehow know when their piece is finished. Fantastic.
An article of faith to measure against right here....
Thank you very much - I think in my case though Auria decides when they're finished!
@monzo Almost Arabic feel to your song & would be a major contender if Homeland ever need a new theme tune. Perfect for it. That juddery sound in at 0.37 is like the offspring from a mutant mosquito & a radiation infected Blue Bottle fly....Wonderful.
Your comforting, softened bass drum at 1.07 is the heartbeat that pumps it's fabulous sounds into & around your song is addictive & alive. The flute adds a beautifully lighter contrast & really fits in. No cliche's & ALL your tunes (not just this one) are always full of depth, feeling & tons of interest.
Another talented member of the SOTMC who own the rights to their OWN genre. Brilliant.
Ps re your psychedelic comment & may be of interest. BBC4 iplayer. Friday tab. "Totally 60's Psychedelic Rock" is a new documentary.
Wow, thank you very much!
I watched the BBC4 programmes Saturday night, particularly Psychedelic Britannia - great stuff. Weird synchronicity though - I'd been reading about a lot of the stuff featured in the documentary in a book 'Electric Eden' that morning - Crystal Palace gig, Incredible String Band etc. and the rise of psychedelic music in Britain. Big coincidence. Nice to see the Bonzo's on after.
@monzo this is definitely a departure from your earlier material, a lot more structured and with more than a hint of melody, even a beat in parts
It's a nice atmospheric piece, with a cool mood change at the end as it gets quieter and (to my ears) a little more sinister. I like the fact that there was space for the various elements to breathe and also it was much clearer to me what the mood of the music was compared to your more chaotic efforts.
I'll add it to the front page and the SoundCloud at the first opportunity.
Thanks for the feedback, and for sharing my track on the SC page. Like a lot of my SOTM stuff it started life as a 'new app noodle' - when I get a new app I tend to try and record something with it straight away, and in this case it was Fugue Machine - so that's where most of the tune is from. Once I'd started work on it though I was a bit disappointed with the lack of chord changes, so next time I use FM I'll vary the chords a bit more. It would have been more structured - I had a guitar riff ready and proper song vocals which would have tied things together more, but Auria collapsed before I got to record them.
Like most of my tracks though the joy for me is in the learning and the doing, and until Auria borked things this one was a lot of fun. Unless I get sidetracked by any new apps in the next few weeks, my next SOTM is going to be a lot more structured than anything I've done here before, though there will still be room for some Peruvian Nose Flutes and slowed down sheep bleatings.
