Fulminatin’ / Syntronik x 10 / Remixed per @McD!
Feeling my inner Zappa yet again. Ten instances of Syntronik without a jiggle. This is a very stable app. Two tracks of Ravenscroft 275 (an octave apart) added to the mix. It’s funny, I never thought Frank would influence me when I listened in the 70s as much as he has. I guess I just didn’t really get it... till now. @ikmultimedia it was a rocky relationship, but I’m in like Flynn now.

Interesting... I'm not getting any Zappa vibes.
I hear echoes of the film music of Bernard Herrman. He created the scores for all the Hitchcock movies (Pycho, To Catch a Thief, etc). He also scored a lot of fantasy movies
like "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and the epic score to "The Day the Earth Stood Still" which made the theramin popular. Only later did it become a bit of a joke sound for bad sci-fi.
I could use less Piano for this type of playing. Or at least a break to other sounds. Its exhausting in my headphones and I want to hear more of the gentler and less percussive synths underneath.
These notes with a better combination of synth sounds would make a great thriller film score that wants to reflect Hitchcock's style of score and action. I know you don't like orchestral mixes on IOS but this would be a great candidate to take the tracks and freeze them down with attention to the mix to levels. Right now it's all at the same level of dynamics.
@McD, sorry, I respectfully disagree on the dynamic range, and the omnipresence of the piano as well. I’ve listened to it at least a dozen times. I’ll like it at least for a week. My only regret is the piano slows down, out of tempo, a couple of times. As for the Zappa influence, I am sure if I used a marimba you would hear it (maybe). Definitely get the Bernard Herman reference. It is strident, I will grant you that. Just not to your taste. Glad for your criticism, however. Always appreciated.😘
I liked the composition but had issues with the sounds and dynamics. That's always going to be a matter of personal preferences. I'm hard on you because you're capable of excellence
and sometimes it has an impact on your next piece.
You know I really try to avoid being negative... I usually just keep it to myself.
I can tell I'm getting close to needing a serious time out and will probably take another sabbatical next week while traveling. Try not to read the forum as much and certainly be less of an opinionated commenter. I get too obsessive about this venue for expression and interaction and then find it unsatisfying.
It's time for a dopamine fast.
@McD, I always appreciate your honest opinion. The forum give and take is very valuable. No worries!
Sometimes my opinions are riddled with falsehoods... in other words, I lie to protect the innocent. You rock.
Riddle me this, @McD ... do you prefer the remix?
Yes. I like the use of the synth with a more gentle attack. It really brings out the
Bernard Herman vibe and I get some Zappa feeling. Keyboards in Zappa's groups
were always synths played by Ian Underwood and some Rhodes when George Duke
was in the roster.
Marimba's and mallets bring out the Ruth Underwood's (nee Komanoff) percussion
doubling of some other instrument in the band... Zappa liked ensemble unisons since he
wrote complex angular lines (like you produce on demand). Frank could never talk Ruth
into devoting from his notated parts... no improviser in her musical make-up.
Thank you for the extra effort changing everything in the re-mix for my sensitivities.
I'm sure both version will have their supporters. Orchestration matters a lot to me.
Many of my heroes excelled in innovative orchestrations: Stravinski, Zappa, Gil Evans, Sir Duke, Mancini, Bernard Hermann and John Williams.
Carry on.
Thank you, @McD.... your observations had merit to create something different. The ease of reorchestrating and mixing in the 21st century is awesome. The midi data can go so many different ways. Maybe I will challenge myself (or you) to do an album of eight remixes of the same track!
Now you're entering Brian Eno territory... do you have those "Oblique Strategies" Cards yet?
"Gardening not Architecture."
I'm prototyping my own set of cards called "Transparent Rip-off". They will be printed with
heat sensitive ink. You pee on one and my advice appears. I'll give one free
example of my wisdom:
"No refunds."
Sorry but this is only 10% of the story. Here's another 20.
That is super @rs2000. Now all those keyboards are in a little ole iPad.
Yep, almost!
I'm missing the Electrocomp!!!
No app that I know sounds like it. It's the one to the right, next to the Minimoog.
@rs2000 great share.
Tommy Mars and Terry Bozzio just killing it on that one. 40+ years ago...
