This is very catchy and I wish there was more to it. It's a shortie yes but it definitely could be longer and go some more places.
@glitso
"Nature" - This is beautiful. While the strings motif that repeats is pleasing and creates a sense of hopefulness, there is also an ominous feel the lower strings bring in the mid-song mark. I wish the motif had been developed more and more instrumentation utilized to build on that hopefulness (which is entirely subjective, of course). Thank you very much for sharing.
@Overdosed_Ape
"Check the Gates" - Not my usual cup of tea type of music but I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you for sharing.
Haha! This was so much fun. May I ask, this being your second Sheeran cover I have heard, do you use these somehow; maybe at events or what not? Or is just for fun?
@Dav
"All the words" - This is lovely. I am always amazed at how such simple music can become so touching and meaningful with words and singing. This one deserves another take - this time under proper conditions. Thanks for sharing.
I had the strangest sense of deja vu listening to this. I felt I had listened to this last month so I went back to SOTM Nov and looked around if you had posted this or not. Haha! It turned out that I had actually listened to this when you first posted it here itself. Anyway, I enjoyed this very much. I would have liked a little bit more structure and variation maybe - if I am nitpicking. Other than that, if this is all app - I am blown away!
@Kitusai
"Iota" - As always this pulled me out of some terribly long dwelled in comfort-zone that I was in. I liked it a lot because it is both light-hearted as well as groovy (if that makes any sense). Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you very much.
My SOTM December 2021 is a cover of a song by the British band MONO which was formed in the 90s. They released just one album. The original is also called The Outsider. Martin Virgo, who was behind MONO, was inspired by spy movies and such and especially the work of John barry. The bulk of this piece has motifs lifted from MONO's original but I have also incorporated some of Barry's hammered dulcimer phrases from The Ipcress Files - which, I hope, makes my take on this interesting to listen.
This was posted in Creations back in July but in this version I have used Logic to mix and added the wonderful Hammered Dulcimer sound from ThumbJam app. Let me know what you think.
That was very nice! John Barry is one of my fav composers. I have never heard of MONO, so I will look them up based on this.
@Richardyot The piece is cool. I use the deep.com service to translate the lyrics and what is said here but even with this translation I have trouble understanding the meaning of the lyrics. Are they about the Everly Brothers? Anyway it's nice to see a collaboration here, it's too rare.
@DavidEnglish From what I hear from you, this is probably my favorite piece to date. I have to say that I love the references you use (Terry Riley in particular). Your sound swirls are quite haunting and meditative with beautiful rich harmonics. The few dissonances are reminiscent of ragas. Very successful.
@janpieter where is your shortie? I didn't saw it in the forum...
@Glitso The concept is interesting. I would have preferred the nature sounds to fade a little more in favor of the symphony. The strings sound a bit metallic to my ears (listening with headphones)
@Overdoed-Ape The first video is really high! You should sell it as a single NFT video at a high price :-)
The second one is more accessible and I like the underground sounds a bit like listening to your music underwater.
@pexfra I don't know Ed Sheeran so as far as I'm concerned you can go on as long as you want! I really like the sound of your guitars. It seems to me that they could be better integrated in the mix so that the whole thing is a body.
@Dav Beautiful guitar and beautiful voice: it is refreshing. I think that in 2022 I will make a cure of folk songs! Thank you for having aroused this planet-friendly desire :-)
@AlexY A nice guitar battle with a well rounded and detached bass line. The sound of the drums is a little less successful it seems to me. Anyway I liked your atmosphere and your sounds.The end all in softness threatening creates a nice break while keeping the spirit of the piece. It's dark like the year that is ending.
@spyrogaia I had never heard of mono before reading and listening to you. I don't know what your cover is worth compared to the original but it's pretty impressive. The sounds are great and balanced with a nice varied palette. Bass line, cymbals, melodic lines, everything is beautifully in place. It reminds me furiously of a film score. Great job.
Happy new year happy fellows!
Thanks! The song is about Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, one of the great songwriting teams of the 20th century. They wrote many of the Everley Brother's hits, such All I Need To Do Is Dream, Bye Bye Love, and Wake Up Little Suzie, among others, but they also wrote classics for other artists, including Love Hurts, and Raining In My Heart.
They have a fascinating life story, which is essentially what the lyrics are about. When Felice first met Boudleaux she says she recognised him from a recurring dream she'd had since childhood. They ran away together and got married, then they started writing songs while living in a caravan on a farm in Georgia, eventually getting a couple of songs published. Boudleaux's barber was the Everley Brother's uncle, and he told Boudleaux his nephews were great singers who were looking for songs. The Bryant's songs made the Everley Brothers world famous.
The Bryant's songs have sold over a billion copies in various formats. Not bad for a songwriting team no-one has heard of
@richardyot Thank you very much for the explanation! A great Christmas story indeed!
@richardyot
I really like the nostalgic channel-changing opening. I didn’t know about this song-writing team until you explained it through the lyrics and the additional post. The Everley Brothers’ voices blend in a way that has never been equaled. It must have been an amazing experience to write songs to showcase that unique sound.
@janpieter
I couldn’t access the song on Twitter. Was it deleted?
@glitso
An engaging opening with restrained orchestral strings. The choir adds another layer on top, just as the geese emerge over the water sounds. Overall, it works quite well as a thoughtful and meditative piece.
@Overdosed_Ape
This one has a distant basement/club atmosphere with a vaguely repetitive feel. The glitchy red-monochrome video is a good match. Together, they give the impression of being on the periphery of a relaxed, but lively musical performance.
@pexfra
A very polished instrumental cover. Again, I love seeing it unfold in real-time in Garageband. The guitar is especially strong.
@Dav
Love the simplicity of just the voice and guitar. You did a great job removing the hiss. I don’t hear it all (though I do have older ears). The stereo separation is subtle, which is good, given the spare instrumentation. And yes, no need to clutter it up with added instruments. It does stand strongly on its own. Also, it’s a nice touch to have the final lyrics (“I do”) echo the marriage ceremony.
@AlexY
Interesting that it was created through generative means. The guitar is particularly effective. Didn’t expect the change-up around the 3:36 mark or the calm-down effect around the 4:47 mark.
@Kitusai
Fascinating combination of a dystopian robot-critter flash mob with a New-Orleans-like brass band funeral march. It shouldn’t mix together that well, but somehow it does.
@spyrogaia
It starts with an epic and cinematic opening, but quickly evolves into an amalgam of 1960s and 1970s movie soundtrack motifs. Includes moments that are exotic and lyrical. Feels like the forgotten theme from a long-lost James Bond movie.
@DavidEnglish @Kitusai yes got accidentally lost in a bulk delete:
@glitso I like your song as an atmospheric/meditative piece, but still I miss maybe a subtle surprise here and there
@AlexY compelling/thrusting forward I really like it. Sometimes the guitar/solos can even be more aggressively mixed I guess. The bass (I like the lines) sometimes sounds a bit tame and the drums too reverby or sometimg to my taste (bass and drums are somehow not where the guitars are sonically).
@Overdosed_Ape I like your first one best. second one is a little tame/clean/distant. If you roughen up the first one while making it snappier/shorter: would be great!
@spyrogaia Great. Movie-esque/well-balanced and love that hammered thing! Can even be a little more spacier for me.
@pexfra As usual it’s the guitar that makes the piece stand out!
@dav: the voice and acoustic (?) guitar go perfect together. Does need nothing else. Warm (don’t take away any more hiss
@Kitusai mysterious/eastern, an ongoing/forwardgoing/rippling stream, supported by the image, yet somehow to monotonous/repetitive for me to keep me engaged the whole song
Fijne jaarwisseling allen!
@janpieter Excellent short piece, thanks for the bulk delete exit! Fits very well with the pictures.
@janpieter
Very interesting stutter effect at the beginning and middle of the song. The strong beat drives it like a car racing down the highway. Overall, the parts gel together really well. This song is short, but it covers a lot of ground.
The percussion holds this all together while the brass floats on top of it. There's a real tension between the dissonance of the brass and synths versus the more conventional percussive parts. Lots of interesting sounds and textures that envelop the listener.
As it happens I 've been a fan of Mono since the 90s
I've had Life In Mono on constant rotation in my playlist for more than 20 years.
This is a faithful recreation of their sound, although the lack of vocals does leave a bit of a void. The production is really well done though, and the performances are excellent. Great job, and an enjoyable listen. 👍
Love this. I think I may have heard it on another thread. I re-listened to it without reading the description and was going to say it would fit perfectly for a James Bond movie.
edit: d'oh! it was on this same thread! I must be getting senile lol
Also thanks @spyrogaia, @Kitusai , @DavidEnglish and @janpieter for your feedback!
