@rickwaugh the violin sounds pretty OK at times--especially with the staccato parts and the quick runs. But at other times it sounds more like a clarinet or saxophone. I'm not sure that it matters much if it's not distracting. Here, it is a bit distracting at times--and perhaps it is because you primed us to be listening for it, but I do believe it would have distracted me regardless. Given the sonata nature of things, I suppose you are wedded to the violin but I'd be interested in throwing the "rules of the past" out the window and trying something that embraces the digital medium here.
In any case, the composition is top notch. Somebody else mentioned the eastern european folk elements and those were, by far, my favorite parts. The section that starts at about the one minute mark immediately made my ears perk up and take note. Thereafter, every time you came back to that motif I was completely tuned in to the piece. Thanks for sharing--I enjoyed it.
@studs1966 I'll happily make my Christmas a disco Christmas. This one has all the right elements, although I was expecting maybe a hint of something to signal the season--maybe a sleigh bell here or there? The only other observation is that it felt just a little long to me sitting at my desk, listening and bouncing in my desk chair. Probably works just fine on the dance floor, mind you... Merry Christmas!
@nothumanatall very cool track, glad you decided to share. I liked a lot of the dissonant elements, although it got to be a little too much in the section starting at the 2 minute mark--at least to my ears it pushes just a little too far. That said, I thought that section added a nice diversion that rested the ear before falling back into the main groove again. If you could dial back the shrill dissonance just a hair I think the entire composition works. Would like to hear more!
@moff I couldn't get your track to load. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong on my end as it appears to be YouTube... I'll keep trying.
@LostBoy85 there is a gem of a tune in here. I dig the lyrics and that melody hook in the chorus is just HUGE. Wow. I can't really comment on the arrangement because it's really not my style, so I won't... If you need some $$$, sell this tune to Ben Folds.
@Shaken&;Stirred another strong tune this month. Like you, I really like the QuatroMod Diffusor effect on the guitar; has a really nice vibe that fits the song perfectly. I'm going to show my personal listening preferences, but the song really came alive for me in the bridge. The bridge is just fantastic with the Turnado glitchiness funking things up--to me, that part leaps out of the speakers and demands that the listener pay attention. I get that you don't want to interrupt the flow in the other parts, but I'd love to hear a bit more of that glitchiness in the other sections. Good lyrics, too, per usual. The Candyland reference was the hook that immediately grabbed me--love that one.
Thanks, @lukesleepwalker and @Tarekith. Yah, Luke, I've taken this kind of stuff and made it electronica before. Strings are problematic. I'm leaning more and more towards synth sounds, or completely mangling the acoustic instruments. IOS just isn't there yet as far as tools to do midi acoustic instruments.
This is a good month. @Tarekith, I loved that. Had a very middle eastern flavor to it. Brilliant mix. I'm not an old connoisseur of fine electronica, but wish I could find more stuff like that and some of the other offerings we've had this month, and others. Tasty.
Thanks a lot for the comment and encouragement! I definitely hope to be able to make and share more.
Two votes for a middle eastern vibe in my song, something I had never considered!
This is too sophisticated for me to fully appreciate in terms of the forth and back, the mathematics of it all, but I listened carefully, eyes shut, head back, and it sounded, well, adult. And, another odd word, wholly credible. A proper piece of grown-up music. As regards the violin, I hate to say this, but it isn't good enough, not for the piece in question. I would ache and itch for a humanoid's attempt with real wood and gut. I hope you get to hear it that way one day.
Mister Studs, I do not allow Christmas music to come early in this house, but if it had a little disco swagger I might relent. Have passed this on to Mrs. Goodyear. Will agree that this seemed a little long, but I think your work is hardly meant for entirely sober men of a certain age on their bottoms in desk chairs
I hope that you find the full funk in your own endeavours this Chrimble...
I was thinking of Ultravox or Heaven 17 or similar to start with, but then in came that keyboard, which is a nice sound. I too like loose jammy key playing, but most of us are so trained (conditioned?) that off notes take some getting used to. However, I understand the desire to just let it be....overall a nice vibe, reminds me towards the end of the break of a seventies detective show (in a good way
). If Barry White hadn't already left us to sing with the choir invisible etc. I can imagine him talking through a shopping list on this (which would be just about fabulous).
I did enjoy it. Reminded me a bit of 'Popcorn' with extra Shaft.
Particularly impressive if all done in Gadget. Well done.
Hey, thanks for listening and also for the nice words!
That is ridiculously good and quite unfair as a submission unless -hold on- this Richard bloke is just a gag alter-ego on your part.
Mister Leo, we have kept your chair warm and always will!
I think I may have been too late to get at the original version. This is classic Lostboy. Superior vocals. Smooth sound. I'm amazed that I didn't see/hear this on whatever the MTV equivalent is at this point in history. Crit? Too long? May need the video to follow along with entirely. I've always (me, me, me) wanted a bit more something or other to go along with those golden pipes, but in the end I think that may not be a matter of performance (you have bags after all), so maybe it's matter of the exact song that will make the one and one make three for you.
Trust all else is well and life is treating you kindly.
This month's entry indicates that I've unwittingly fallen into a pattern of inspiration with my writing; see if you can spot the pattern? He should quickly disavow any culpability, but @brambos sits in with the band this month as I learned how to use Rozeta Rhythm and Particles in BM3 for this tune. (I mean, isn't an app's creator somehow a part of the creative process when making music on iOS?) Having a blast; SOTMC has made me a new man with a new plan.
Mendel died on 6 January 1884, at the age of 61, in Brno, Moravia, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic), from chronic nephritis. Czech composer Leoš Janáček played the organ at his funeral who himself, in August 1928, took an excursion to Štramberk with Kamila Stösslová and her son Otto but caught a chill, which developed into pneumonia. He died on 12 August 1928 in Ostrava, at the sanatorium of Dr. L. Klein. He was given a large public funeral that included music from the last scene of his Cunning Little Vixen and was buried in the Field of Honour at the Central Cemetery, Brno, but that's enough from the encyclopedia about all of that with the exception of the fact that someone should dig out Cunning Little Vixen and see if it's something to sample or update.
@lukesleepwalker a five minute epic with very fine lyrics well vocalized. I love the 'pea under my bed' and would also love to watch the ESPN-for-music 30 minute documentary on the line by line for this song. Prince Charming and farming for Gregor Mendel. Sheer laconic brilliance. What is the sum of Silesian history as regards popular music? Bloody scant I'd imagine, but you have set down a marker. Where did it come from? Notes wise I have very little apart from the fact that the sincerity in the 'I' character's delivery saves it from being simply quirky and that's also an achievement. Plus, plus.
Thanks @JohnnyGoodyear for listening and the kind words. I was unhappy with the depth of writing with last month's piece on Mrs Pavlov so I worked harder this month mining a bit more, using another historical figure for inspiration. The kernel of inspiration that got me going was the juxtaposition of Mendel's pea garden bed with the bed from the Princess and the Pea fairy tale. I'll leave the rest up to the listener's interpretation.
@moff I was able to load your video on my phone (I guess my computer is YT challenged). Anyway, cool track--the arrangement of sounds is high quality and well balanced. Every time my ears started to get tired with the current motif you changed things up. You have a good ear for keeping things fresh. Nice one overall.
Really reminds me of a lost REM classic.
Wonder how you write your lyrics. These made me think of cut-up (which at it's best can be brilliant):
Which cup hides the magic bean
Thumbnail rips the tangerine
Jealous of your ability to mixed with Microwarmer, FabFilters Pro-C2, Pro-L, Pro Q2 and Pro-R. Wouldn't know where to start (especially in the context of each other), but when I listen to the clarity here I wish I did. I'm looking for things to go deeper on in 2018 and this motivates me as towards mixing/mastering. Good effort.
This piece sounds, for the want of a better word, classy. I'm presuming that's because of the pace AND quality somehow combined. I will admit to a little confirmation bias because I know you know what you're doing (do any us, really?
) and also because I like wandering around Brussels and Amsterdam and can easily imagine the setting and the sound.....proof (for those that might still need it) that apps like Auxy produce more than 'simple' or metronomic (insert dismissive epithet here etc) music.
I really liked and appreciated this.
Thanks, @JohnnyGoodyear. It would be fun, but sadly, not in the cards. I need to go find some real classical musicians and suck up to them.
Thanks for the compliments; it obviously feels right.
@lukesleepwalker, that’s a great little tune. Wonderful hook there in the chorus, reminds of some old soul/R&B music like Hall and Oates in parts. Not sure about the drum sounds; I think this one could have stood up for a bit more depth and snap, more like an old fashioned acoustic drum set sound. That may be because I heard old soul in the track. A thump of a bass drum, the crack of the snare, the tap on the hihat.
Thanks very much Johnny!
@Tarekith Fantastic! I dig this piece quite a bit and am envious that you can take something conceived in Auxy on an iPhone while wandering around and turn it into something so resonant and polished. As others have mentioned, the middle eastern flavors set this one apart from others in this genre. It moves like it should, it grooves like it should, but it's those notes that stray a bit off the Western canon path that tickle my ears. Enjoyed it!
One of the happy accidents or pleasures of writing lyrics is that they can be there when you need them later. I wrote these in a hurry, January 20th, 2017.
Three Blind Mice
The mice they come in many forms
There are always three of them
In poison clouds or dreams long held
Or sometimes just in men
The mice themselves they hold no sway
They are only here to run
To do as they are told
And turn the rising sun
For if he says that east is west
And night is middle day
It is not their place to question
The things he has to say
For if they did they'd not be mice
On this we must agree
For what it’s worth and truth be told
The mice are you and me
The mice they come in many forms
There are always three of them
Blindness, hope and hatred
And never if but when
I like this a lot! Keys and synths sound really good and the song builds up nicely. I'm not sure about your gliding up to the notes while singing the beginning of the words sometimes. (I did that a lot, unknowingly, when I was in a choir and the conductor would always warn me about it so I might be picky on that
)
@JohnnyGoodyear, love that. Mesmerizing. Love what you did to the vocal, it transforms the song into something very new. Great, very light arrangement that suits the mood perfectly.
