She could, of course, be lying to me. She says this kind of thing to me all the time with a disgusted look on her face.
I suspect they are in fact swear words.
Too late. I asked them if they want some daffodils. Door slammed in my grid.
@rickwaugh Good to see/hear you back. How's all those exams going? Yep, she's waltzable alright and far more of a challenge than the ones from Strictly. Hope everyone else here has tried. Agree with other, more knowledgeable folk than I about how in lieu of vocals, instrumentals (in general) may need additional dynamics to aid the listener in following the story. Do you want to sing?
The tenebrosity of your track appeals. Took me to a rewrite of Teminator 1 and the scene where Sarah Connor is running from Arnie. In your version, SHE gets ripped apart and squashed. Satisfying. Congratulations on the track length making it perfect to inhale. Love the weaving lead, and skilful delivery of it. In fact, among the dancing robots, the lead sounds/feels like a living breathing thing, to remind the bastards that WE are in control of THEM. Adding light to dark (without losing the threat of threat) is testament to your imagination and musical skills. Bags of interest throughout. Artwork: Is that the Honda plant in Swindon?
Thanks, @Bluepunk. No, not much of an interest in vocals. Could do it, but I just find that, despite the fact I have been a writer of prose all my adult life, I just can't seem to find anything meaningful to say in lyrics. I agree on the dynamics, it's always been something I strive for. I need to learn how to do that more in the purely programmed environment. It's what makes any piece of music breath.
I love that analogy. As to the artwork, no idea. I searched Google images for something that seemed right, and that was the one I found. It's definitely an auto plant, I remember that. It was part of an ad, I believe.
Exams go well. Just finished grade 7 guitar, one more level to go. One year with a composition teacher, getting heavily into harmony and voice leading now. Whether my old brain will encompass the complexities of that and produce anything useful.....
Thanks so much Richard. Very generous comment and offer. I certainly don't need to judge your abilities either, I have faith in them. Only issue is that I made the tune in TinPan, but no longer have the stems because I'm an idiot. I'm sure I could recreate it (not a very complex bit of business), but if I was going to do that I suspect I would enlarge (maybe by simplifying) the song from scratch. Your offer is very motivating, but ALSO I have just found out I need to be in Spain tomorrow (sudden and long familial story), so all things - apart from learning BM3 a little on the various planes - are on hold. If I could I would love to ask you for a raincheck? Let me put it together from scratch (now I actually have know the song
) and when I have pass it to you to apply your tender aural ministrations then etc?
Thank you, @marliess!
No worries and no hurry. However if you have an Auria project of this that's all I would need to do the remix with, no need for the original stems, they will all be in the Auria project file.
Here is something new— started as a Gadget noodle on a plane three years ago, then became an exercise in using various strings sources, then became an albatross. It's time to get if off my plate for a while and see what other people think as I work on something else. Lyrics in the spoiler.
One
One bitter son
Sulphur on the tip of the tongue
Dumb
Clumsy mess of thumbs
Idle hands
Shining eyes
Dirty lungs
You never have been one to follow recipes,
Directions, laws or good advice
All end up kites wrapped up in trees
But for once
Put yourself first
Grab a car
Put it in reverse
Coup
Kaiser Coup
What's a good boy supposed to do?
There's no angel beside you
But something else there inside you
I'm here for…
You
Kaiser Coup
You can't cheat if you don't know the rules
If you can't see the right move
Why not do what not to do
Coup Coup
Kaiser Coup
Some bottles
And some rags
And some gasoline
Then you can pop 'round to the pool store
For some tablets of chlorine
Just this once
Let it go
Drop the act
Begin the show
It's time to…
Coup
Kaiser Coup
Let's give all the goons something new to do
There's no angel beside you
But something else there to guide you
They won't believe it's…
You
Kaiser Coup
What's a good boy supposed to do?
Now the old gang can all see
What it is you've been up to
Coup Coup
Kaiser Coup
@aaronpc Floyd-ish start with wall hammer animations marching forward, Love the lyrics. And I was hoping that the chorus would be a singer and was happy when it walked in. Too sibilant for my delicate ears, Not clever enough to know what Fab would sort that, but sure it wouldn't be too much. Really want to see the video, By the time you got to 'Gasoline;' I was ready for a doubled vocal maybe, but then the chorus comes back and helps out. Want girls in the background, but then that's always been the way. Certified mad epic. Plus plus on the ending also. Please ask Marlene Dietrich to sing very quietly over the bass part....
>
This brought back memories of something (good)... maybe it was the "Dukes of Stratosphere" thing that XTC did.
I think the vocals could be louder in the mix, I was having trouble hearing them. and I like the ending bit that starts at 4:40, and maybe would have liked some of that added in earlier to add variation. It's possible that doesn't jive with what you were going for with the track. That ending bit could have possibly benefited from some long vocal lines over it.
@JohnnyGoodyear @Shaken&;Stirred Thanks much, youz. Yes, you pass the test by hitting all my own sore points. Fitting vocals in the mix is always tricky for me. It is too quiet on my monitors, too resonant in my car and just right in my headphones. I'll get it there, once I give my ears a break for a while.
I'm awaiting a friend's guitar solo there in the middle after the break, which may help break things up a bit, and am indeed looking for recruits to sing something at the end. I have a friend who's a choral instructor at a university, and am always wanting to pick up that batphone.
BTW, I'm actually creating a full fledged video with little animated molotov bottles already— half done, in fact. Should be a hoot.
Do not wait on the other half. Get on and kill it. First and foremost because that's good advice. Second and also because I really want to see it.
@aaronpc I'd like to join the fans of this song and encourage you to get it 'finished'. Mad epic indeed. Enjoyed all 6 minutes.
I'd add that shades of Radiohead are in there too, especially the harpsichord breakdown. But at the same time, it's entirely original sounding.
I'd pull the vocals up in the mix too and also make the drums in certain parts cut through more. Looking forward to more.
Had to remix , had a bit of a slip in time
@fattigman loved the vocals, impressive singing for the little girl part, wasn't too fond of the video.. but loved the drive on vox
@Shaken&;Stirred good production, I'd like to hear a little reverb or delay .. the second doubled up part sounds great... I think at first it sounds too dry for me...
@rickwaugh not sure what to say about this piece, it's strange to me it almost sounds like it should be in a 80s arcade in a downtown la doughnut shop
@marliess you got your signature sound. , and it sounds great . Love that second guitar coming in, I think your hiding your voice too much with that wobble.. would like to hear it a little dryer, but over all good mix good job
@studs1966 a little more mellow than what I remember your previous entry's, love the piano part... vox sounds great too.
@theconnactic although you've taken my imaginations favorite part of listening to music away I enjoy your videos . And your music. Very impressive the way you choose to do your drums. I think your distorted guitar might have come in a bit too loud for the mix.. in my eyes at least. Good job
Thanks @trackedout. As time goes by, the track I have done may get a bit more mellow...... ish. I'm trying to change an old style into a more modern way. For example, the old classic mellow Bossanova sound, crossed between Disco & Deep House type of thing. I've done a couple with Bossanova & Reggae Dub. Which sounded ok........ Just trying out & experimenting & mixing different styles really. Rather than copying today's chic sound of the dance floor.
@aaronpc, amazing production, great feel, great sounds. Bit long, by the time you got to the second bit, I was past ready for it. Lyrics are very cool. The ending piec was wonderful, but I'm not sure beginning and ending went together, make two great pieces by themselves, or they are just cool the way they are. I like this a lot, which is always the most important thing to me.
Thanks @DefRobot & @rickwaugh Good constructive things that I like to hear. I'm not in the habit of doing anything over 4 min. so I'll try paring it down somewhere in there— been listening to it too long.
I will definitely be taking greater care with that handoff to the quiet bit at the end— that part was pretty tacked on at the last minute just to get it out there, but it should tie together better when finally finished.
Need to sit down to make some reviews of my own now.
Thanks @trackedout for you feedback. I think your song is very good. Your way of singing fits the mood of the song. It had some chaos in the end of the song that I liked. Well done!
Nice track. I like you're vocal style, and the mix is good, with good use of instrument placement in the stereo spectrum so everything could be heard. I think the track would be more engaging to the listener if there was something added to change it up. Maybe a stop, to emphasize a particular vocal line, or some changes in dynamics to vary the feel of it. It has a sort of stream of consciousness drone feel, which adds to the depressing vibe of the track. Maybe that's your intent, in which case take my suggestions with a grain of salt. Cheers!
Oh! thanks for your feedback on my track. I've intentionally tried to use restraint with reverb in my more recent mixes, especially on vocals, and maybe this time I went to far. I'll do more A/B'ing in the future to make sure my reverb/delay choices are serving the track.
@fattigman that's a fun track and the video is great. I don't think I could ever get my family involved like that, they all just find my musical endeavours tedious at best.
Your daughter has a great voice, and the overall production was pretty nice. For a bonus I also enjoyed your ukulele cover of I Can See Clearly Now. We definitely need more ukulele around here.
@Shaken&;Stirred welcome to the club and congratulations on making your first entry. Be sure to keep up with the monthly rhythm
For a first entry it's very good, an assured vocal performance, ambitious production, even harmonies - good stuff. Nice dynamics, great playing - look forward to the next entry.
@rickwaugh interesting fusion of classicism and electronica. I like the contrast between the more menacing background and the classical sounding melody, it creates a fresh feel. My only criticism is that the main melody feels a little stiff, it could do with a hint of swing to make it feel more human and contrast with the other elements even more.
@marliess it's a bouncy and infectious track, one of your best ones yet I think. I love the boppy groove, gets my toes tapping, and the vocals are great, especially the melody that wants to be sang along to. The subject matter is terrific as well. Good job.
