You can create in that rush, and mixing at a later stage. Creating a track can often takes me between 4-8 hours, audio recording 2-4 hours, and mixing 8-15 hours. Can be often worst, I remember a 5 mn track which took me around 60 hours to be done. Some musicians even take much more time. The most important part is to understand that their are multiple stages in making a track. Mixing is after creation, even if it can be creative too as it’s also manipulating/shaping sound. That way your creative half brain will not necessarily meet your producer half brain
Wow, @janosax! 15-60 hours on a mix. I don't know if I have enough time. I am f#%€ing 70! I will work on it, though.
Thanks @ Telefunky, I get it.
Amazing piece of work! You are amazing, my friend.
Giving it some time to listen to it again after lunch
Thanks so much @senhorlampada! Your encouragement helps me so very much. I hope you like it as much the second time through!
Just had lunch! Now it's time to listen again
While designing a User Interface
Excellent composition! I love hearing what other's have done with these tools we've been using. It has a wonderful traditional classical sound to it. I haven't heard this style on iOS yet, so it's refreshing.
Glad you liked it @ScottVanZandt. I will pm you a couple of jazz improvisations I have done. Don't forget to post some of your work on the Creations forum. They all get mixed together when you select discussions so a lot of people will get the opportunity to hear them! Maybe there are more "classical" composers out them?
Mike,
You are an improviser of music. There are composer's that wish they could do what you do. Don't wish you become them because it's time to enjoy and not stress out over what anyone else thinks about it.
Auria Pro has good mixing tools but those tools are moving to AUv3 so stick with Cubasis and learn to get everything you can from it. Auria is wonderful for the mixing engineer. Cubasis is better for a player.
I'd rather see you spend 100 hours making improvised works as the muse follows inspiration... Beethoven seems to have spawned this work of the improviser's art. Listening to the music down the street spawned a piece echoing the sounds of turkish life.
You don't have the desire to do "work" but you'll never stop playing. Forget perfection and seek inspiration. Take a shot at something more experimental like a Ballet akin to Stravinski's Firebird or a Jazz Orchestra like Bill Evan's work with Miles on "Sketches of Spain". Explore dance rhythms from south america: listen to Astor Piazzola's Tangos (then improvise an accordion master work).
I'd rather hear your muse let loose a dozen times rather than a few pieces crafted with the diamond cutter's art. Most of the diamond cutter's music sounds so derivative to me that it's the echos of the originals that make it so impressive. You don't echo.
You seek something fresh and toss the well worn phrase. Connie taught you that... play like Mike and no one else. It does make you an acquired taste 'cause there are always a few loose threads. (Some would say... go into the midi track and delete those notes). I say... leave them in to show how close you are to falling off the wire: taking risks. Close to falling make the tightrope walker's art riveting. Show the danger of the art form.
What makes your contributions impressive is the fact that they burst out of you in one piece and are layered over supporting tracks but there's usually a dominant voice and that's Mike taking a solo. Keep solo'ing and don't get pressured into becoming a craftsman.
You are like Picasso and the work just flows from your preparations learning the keyboard inside and out. You could aspire to be Michelangelo and chisel out a Michelangelo but for your mind that becomes pure labor.
Just my advice... I suspect you'll just keep playing and buying more Apps (like we all do) seeking those moments when our headphones demonstrate the miracle of this tool called the IOS Music Module.
Ballet... Stravinski. If you want to go dark try "The Rite of Spring". He'll grab you from the opening bassoon solo. Or re-watch Disney's "Fantasia" and pick an era and a style to launch an inspired new composition.
I think the more adventurous practicioners of IOS music (@dawdles, @samu, @RUST( i )K) are seeking the same end point: approaching the platform as a tool to inspire interactive sessions that produce music they love. They just come at it from a generative music point of view. What they create isn't recorded and probably never sounds exactly the same twice. Just guessing but the personalities seem to fit the model of art over craft.
Other's are deeply into the craft (and I'm not denigrating their efforts) of perfecting the art of sound engineering. @telefunkly shared some recordings with me that just floored me for the perfection of the recording arts involved using the right mic on a great instrument through a perfect pre-amp, etc. It inspires his muse to perfect recording technique.
Lordy, McD, that was an inspired piece of writing and I thank you very much for it! It was almost a work of art in itself. Like this is stuff you have been thinking about a long time ( long before we met) and it came out in a rush, like the master calligrapher who
meditates long over his ink and brush and paper, and then, with a flourish much like a master swordsman, it is done, finished complete in a moment's thoughtless, effortless climax.
Not much need to worry about me becoming a perfectionist. A leopard can't change its spots and my stuff will always be rough around the edges. I am amazed at the deep insight you have into the art of improvisation. It is a flight of faith and risk. The thrill and the danger of just flinging your hand on the keyboard without a clue as to what might happen.
Yes, Connie tried her best to bring out the original in every student she taught. Maybe my deficiencies in the musical gifts most good musicians have clear the way for the voice inside me to come out unencumbered by all that has gone before ( to a greater degree anyway).
Your thinking about music goes very deep indeed. You bring an innate talent of analysis and shit cutting thru that is pretty rare in this world. And I think we agree there is room for all of it here on this particular forum. I cannot imagine the free flow of ideas happening on the classical forum I am loathe to return to. It is generosity of spirit. And if you were the only one, this forum would be a lonely place for you. But there are many inspired by people such as yourself to want to contribute.To give as well as take. Just today I read something @kinkujin wrote about what he has gotten here and what he hopes to give back. The irony is that he has already done so. There is a lot of modesty and humility here. Yet people share their understandings with confidence. There is assuredness but not pride. I am new to forum land. Others know better than I if am speaking the truth.
That you speak of the differing qualities of notable members of this community seems to me also unique. Maybe it is because they are sharing more than just opinions about things. They defy indulgence in cheap intellectual absolutes and stick to realities they have learned thru experience. Maybe it is the very newness and strangeness of touch technology (what is it, seven years old?) that bands us together like homesteaders on the very outskirts of civilization. How to plow a field? Ask old man McCoy. Dress a deer? Ask Lefty. Find water? John Twiggs is your man. Here real insights are offered that help people evolve, not polemics(!) on the state of art in a capitalist oligarchy.
Well, I guess I have said enough, except thanks, McD, your sensitivity, for a Silicon Valley brainiac, is heartwarming and palpable!
Thanks. Now "make something new" and enjoy the process.
Too busy putting lira in a wheelbarrow today.
you can perhaps make some extra by Air B'n'Bing the droves of UK holiday makers heading your way.. apparently opportunism rules here as most exchanges have run out of turkish lira at a near 8 to the pound rate!!
of course I am also tempted.. do you have a spare room?
@RockySmalls. Do not forget about inflation. It will surely increase unfortunately. Still I hope people will come to Turkey and totally safe. Istanbul is an awesome city and the countryside incredible. Food, music, two continents. A fantastic place.
Finally took the time to listen. So ambitious and interesting. I'm fond of the vibe of it through and through. There is a certain ... joy and hope and a tinge of melancholy throughout. So.... moody!, yeah. But, what is so interesting when you think of it is that it's improvised so in a way we get a tangible hint of the composer. Is that you Linear?
I really enjoy the first and 4th movements the most. They hit me as very cosmopolitan - you can feel this, tension between old world and new. Between influences mashing up against each other from a life of living. I think you have captured something very interesting and poignant and FULL of you. I love it. And loved the experience of the listening and will do it again. Thanks for filling this place with your music!
Thank you very much, @kinkujin! And I appreciate your taking the time to put your feelings into words. When you say cosmopolitan I think of my home town, NYC, about 6,000 miles from where I am in Turkey. I loved spending 53 years there. I guess some of it rubbed off on me. I guess it is all pretty much me, except four measures in the fourth movement where I directly quote Ludwig Van's 7th Symphony, 2nd movement, but even that happened by fortuitous accident.
Your positive response inspires me to do a 2nd Synthony. Who knows. Somehow I feel I just got lucky this time. But I will try doing what I did this time. Just sit down, dial up the RC275, start playing and have faith it will all work out somehow. Thanks again!
Composers seem to meet their maker at Symphony 9... so be careful my friend
I second that. I think I’ve becone an Istanbulophile recently.
Have you been at the historic locations yourself Mike?
Istanbul actually means... “into the city”
After Constantinople fell in 1453, the city was almost empty. The sultan wanted people to move in and keep the city alive. People who were asked where they were going simply said: Istanbul - into the city.
This according to an audiobook I just finished about the Byzantine empire.
Also called Stamboul a while ago. Fantastic history here. Everybody come! Great music, food, safe, beautiful! And the biggest bargain in Europe for the moment. (Less than $100 a day including lodging) I will be your guide!
Just listened, thats an epic achievement, well done. I liked the dramatic nature of part 2 and the way the part played off each other.
Thanks so much @1nsomniak. I always appreciate your contributions. Thanks for taking the time to listen! Glad you felt the movements related to each other.
Absolutely loved it!
Thank you very much for listening @theconnactic. And for liking it.
