Thanks Luke. Multiple takes spliced together. And the audio was recorded separately. All put back together again in lumafusion.
@cuscolima, seriously cool piece of music. Great mix and sounds, and love the variations constantly going on. Great off beat groove .
@LostBoy85, yes, you took me back. To sitting in my car, punching radio presets, trying to find ANYTHING but a song like that.
That being said, excellent production. Vocals are immaculate. For the genre, perfectly nailed.
@AndyPlankton, that's a bit of a ride. I don't know about over indulgent, pretty cool little track. Could have used with a bit more development, but what's there, while somewhat crazy, I like.
@Bluepunk, the sound you can do. How playable a cheap bass is is another question. Very playable basses exist for not much. Check out the strings before buying, as bad strings are not cheap, but they do last longer than guitar strings.
@richardyot thanks I guess I'll take that as a compliment.. I am unusual for the most part ..usual for me wich would mean...... I appreciate the time you gave
@Bluepunk - The Modollars - ehh.....I don’t understand it. I do understand the swearing. But are you fighting/criticizing against some, what is it, a frontman of an empty 80’s band? Why bother? Guess you needed something to fight against. I preach now for a moment: fighting against others (even how stupid they might be) is a punky approach to life, but I can’t take it serious, a more fruitful focus in life might be a humble forgiving accepting awareness of the unharmonious aspects within yourself that you project into the world/people
BUT.....perhaps it is my lack of understanding of the meaning of your words that makes me say these things and makes me jump into wrong conclusions, perhaps they are idiots who deserve to be treated with some swearing 
. Perhaps my reaction is far too serious, perhaps the song is just meant as some sort of joke. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be disrespectful cause I do respect you, we’ve had some sensible little talks here in the past which I enjoyed. Ultra short version of the above: I don’t understand your song/video. 
Other aspects: the recording of it all is very good! The voice is clear and good in the mix. It is a good production.
@rickwaugh - Nice vid and guitar playing !! Professional! The sound of the guitar and the quality of the vid is really superb! About the guitar composition: interesting! and it has a medieval feel.
@richardyot - Verses For A Friend - Good mix! Great chorus with that change of feel/mood ! I think I hear the keys from GB. Instrumentation is good! That solo-ish synth is really sounding great. It all sounds sonically very good! Good production! I can’t find anything that I could mention as constructive criticism. End section is also very good. Nice sung melody everywhere. And sung with a nice ‘feel’. if I had to mention a constructive suggestion I would say something like: when you devellop a melody you could perhaps approach it more playfully, and explore a broader voice range....for instance suddenly step up/raise/or step down a few notes...make the melody more versatile....(good suggeston for myself also!
) I don’t really like saying this, cause it is good and very nice to hear as it is, and I don’t know if what I say is useful for you, plus you already do what I say....it is just that perhaps do it a bit more would perhaps improve it a bit more....I am thinking a bit aloud here cause I feel a bit unsure about my suggestion.
Thanks Rick. Noted.
Sorry Marcel, should’ve said the video didn’t warrant/deserve anyone’s precious time to review it, and thank you for watching. You are right NOT to take seriously this unsuccessful, unsavoury, cheap shot at trying to tie two contrasting duos (in style, attitude, everything really) together in a mashup. Yes, an odd way to project harmony from within, although not as odd as the harmonies projected from within on this months song. Thanks for your time and words.
@trackedout - Fire Wire - hilarious choir! hahaha! Very good and interesting ‘messy’ style guitar play! I like it. I probably wouldn’t have panned the guitar parts this hard myself, but thats personal preference.
@JohnnyGoodyear - Walker Percy - It all sounds great!! Love the effects you add to the voice here and there (and particularly the delay effects), tastefully executed. Very good track! Expressive voice! Can’t find any constructieve suggestions. About the vid....it distracts me from the music, so I turned my iPad the other way around. So I didn’t saw it. But this is not meant as a suggestion not to make them, no, keep making them, its just not for me when listening to a song.
@LostBoy85 - Stay Forever - Hi Leo, Cheesy song indeed!!
But great in its genre! Your two voices blend very nice! I think the song is very good. To be honest it doesn’t move something in my soul but I still hear it is a very good song. Good instrumentation, mix, composition, etc, etc. You have a great voice!! and so has Shevaun!
Yeh, some time has past now since we made some things together. Hope you are well.
Greetings, Marcel
Thanks Rick, I got to the point with it where more messing was destroying what I had, so had to freeze it in time, I’ll give it a week or two then revisit and refine some more
Love that first minute, I like it all, but i REALLY liked the first minute because I felt as though I was rolling along in a nice car, open quiet road, going somewhere interesting. Something music has a groove, some simply moves....
Back track, guitar etc, reminds me of Velvet Underground to the T here. And the vocal is ridiculously nodding, exhausted mellow heroin is a setting on this FX unit. I really like it, reminds me of a stoned day I'd long ago forgotten. Only uncertainty is the second/backing vox. Seems a bit like like the fuzz at the door (or the schoolteacher or the vicar....).
Can't decide what decade I'm in with this piece. Certainly sounds accomplished, but I feel as though I might be half a decent joint away from really enjoying it as much as I should. Definitely something of the ouroboros about it. Found the ending/last third really quite uplifting...
I love this. Just odd. Redolent of much, unlike anything. Such a kedgeree of soundtracks for suburban childhood nightmares. Video must have many ventriloquist dummies. And, yes, it is indulgent. I reckon two minutes tops
Woof ruff woof woof
woof woof woof ruff
ruff ruff rarrr, ruff (woof woof)
Grrrrr, grrrr whine whiiiiine,
grrrr, ruff woof growl snarrrrrrrlll!
Sorry, will try and update the SOTMC soundcloud, for February, over the next day or so.
@Jocphone @Bluepunk It's a chameleon of a song, with obviously a very rich heritage stretching from the original by Tim Buckley to the era-defining version by Liz Fraser with This Mortal Coil. Brave of you to take it on
It's an unusual song anyway, no verse/chorus structure, so I think it almost invites experimentation. The meaning of the lyrics is also mysterious, is it about unrequited love? Or a more literal siren? I'm guessing the meaning is metaphorical, but the lyrics can certainly be pored over and dwelled upon. And Bluey sings them so much clearer than Liz ever did, why you can even make out the words.
The singing is pretty raw, verges out of tune quite often, but I really do find the treatment quite respectful in spirit - in fact this is probably the clearest rendition of the melody I've heard, less wishy-washy than the Buckley version and definitely clearer than Liz.
The music is pretty cool, it's a pretty free-form song anyway, so there's plenty of scope for weirdness there, but once the beat gets going there's a groove to anchor all the noise. Good job, on a pretty challenging tune.
@AndyPlankton Cool tune, it's all about the samples, there are lots of them and they're fun and interesting. I like the melodies as well, and the overall vibe which is nicely upbeat. The changes flow nicely too.
@cuscolima It's a nice melodic chilled tune, I enjoyed listening to it. Interesting list of apps, and great to hear Werbench being put to good use.
The track evolves in an engaging way, morphing nicely from one section to another with the bass line acting as a scaffold for the evolving parts in the first half, and more radical changes later where the bass drops out entirely. Lots of nice sounds and textures, and enough variety to keep the listener engaged all the way through.
Thanks Richard. Thanking Joc for selecting this song. May have crossed paths somewhere before, but certainly not enough for me to delve deeper, or care. Initially, Joc sang on this to his uke backing track and sounded brilliant. Then Nancy (one of the dogs) died, I was sad, Joc asked me to give it go. He knows how I work....to get the best from me, and so to catch the emotions, gave it a go. The first take was a timid throat clearer, the second a day later is what you hear. Joc took both takes and performed his magic.... he IS a creative sound magician who blows my mind with what he does. Yes, the lyrics opened a door i didn’t fancy opening but they fitted perfectly. So relevant to her as the beach was her favourite place, and that’s where she’ll go soon. Sid wanted to sing.... I just helped him along.
Thank you.
February is the cruelest month... the weather can't decide if it wants to be winter or spring and the budget reforecast is due at work. Alas, I was productive but not productive enough to get a brand new track out the door. Since @Shaken&;Stirred mentioned it in last month's thread, I'll submit this one from a couple of years back (recorded with a handful of talented friends):
Can you tell that I was listening to a fair bit of Leonard Cohen at the time? The levels are a bit hot in the first section, but that is easily fixed.
Boy, Sting's hair has gotten darker since the last time I saw him--and he seems to be aging in reverse... Must be all that tantric. This "newer version of Sting" gets more sound out of that bass guitar than the old bloke ever did.
@Bluepunk sorry to hear about Nancy, must have broken your heart. I've lost a pet every year for the last three years (two cats and a dog) and it never gets easier. I'm always thinking about the little blighters after they've gone, there's hole there that the new pets never quite seem to fill, and it just gets bigger with every one you lose.
Thank you. It does. And these two were together longer than their namesakes...and had 8 kids. We humans tend to get on with life after death but Sid still mourns, so lots of walks/treats/cup finals (one to go) to distract him. We keep smiling.
It was a bit daunting at first but once we got away from comparing it to the well known versions, it just became a catchy tune with some words that resonated for the reasons that Bluey mentioned. Wasn't planned that way but circumstance led us down this path. I took the lyrics to be mostly about infatuation but Bluey rather deftly worked it emphasize loss and longing to suit the moment. He always brilliantly sets the tone.
I don't get your observation about the lack of structure though. Maybe I'm a bit slow sometimes but I took as three lots of verse/chorus repeated. Easy to admit that I may have caused it to sound a bit chaotic..
Funnily enough, there are two later versions with quite different mixes but we kept getting drawn back to this one for it's feel and power. The later ones had been a bit too processed/tidied up I guess.
Thanks for the comments. Will start some reviews tomorrow.
