Mrs. Goodyear is a dancer. This is for her.
This is NOT my Song of the Month contribution. This is what I've been working on instead of working on what I should be working on.
All done in TriqTraq and a soupcon of saxophone from the ifretless stable.

Nice song and virtual choreography. The dark haired girl is very pretty.
Not that I should question the rules of a club that I haven't joined, but you're only allowed one entry?
There are no rules; all things are permitted.
Except it seems there is less tolerance for me to submit pieces that are wordless, or singerless, and that's quite alright, as I think that might be a rule of my own making
Nice one! Haven't heard much of the music cause my main interest was on the visuals. Which are very nice. Nice collage! The main girl, very pretty (your wife?). Those bussinesmen from the 50's, weirdo's, I like it. Batman in a unusual pose
The guy from psycho Anthony Perkins, was that him. Girl with bubble gum in the end, haha.
Bravo Johnny! The music and film matched perfectly. I liked in the video the contrast of the French New Wave and the modern.
Nicely recorded, and very easy on the ears. I like TriqTraq, it's capable of good things.
Nice simple and gentle groove, and well done on the inclusion of a non-cheesy sounding saxophone - a challenge in itself
BUT WHAT ABOUT ELVIS AND THE DOGMAN?!
Thanks for the feedback chaps. Really just an experiment with TriqTraq and I think it's a keeper. Perhaps not for a whole song, but for timed pieces or bits, additions, very good and after a seven minute learning curve super easy AND you can import your own samples....
@JohnnyGoodyear
Making gifts for your Mrs. on your own birthday it would seem...
I'm betting she digs it. We get to too, it's really cool, loopy, and rascally.
Don't get me started on dancers I married one - dancing is one of womans Powers. Mine has never danced for me out of mercy because she knows I'd be slain
As for Elvis and the Dogman, wtf, and upon reflection so very sweet the both of them
Nicely put my friend. Whoever it was who first said that dancing was the vertical expression of horizontal desire had it about right.
There's just a hint of discomfort in this combination. On the verge of sinister. I'm not sure the music alone would evoke the same feeling in me. Of course, it could be that guy in the dog suit with Elvis reminded me of that disturbing scene in Kubrick's version of THE SHINING.
Awesome. Elvis and the dog man are a weird tag team for sure, but where did that squirrel come from?
@BvsMV OK. Let's be clear about this, I am a man without any particular God or strong views on the overall subject, but I was always taken with the story that Persian, Pakistani (and other) rug makers would leave a fault or an error in their design because they felt that only Allah was perfect and that man should respect this etc. I thought as a young man this was just first-class marketing/blame assignment, but also there was a hint of modesty in there that appealed to me. Subsequently, I also liked how Hitchcock indulged in his own shameless self-promotion by including himself in a walk-on somewhere in his movies. Put these things together and when I edit a video together I like (for my own entertainment) to include something odd or nonsensical, in this case a rather bloated Elvis in pajamas with an unknown man dressed in unlikely dog outfit. I hope this makes as much sense to you as it does for me.
The squirrel I have long had noted down as a 'must use this when doing something involving dancing'. However, it very obviously isn't right and before I take this on the road and make it pay the squirrel will be removed. The Batman in the y-fronts is staying however.
As for discomfort @supanorton, I'm glad you sensed that. I think the sweeter something is, it should, upon closer inspection, suggest some kind of creepiness (I am by no means the first to follow this feeling, Lynch et. al.).
Hope this clears up any confusion. I welcome further questions as they may arise.
"As for discomfort @supanorton, I'm glad you sensed that. I think the sweeter something is, it should, upon closer inspection, suggest some kind of creepiness (I am by no means the first to follow this feeling, Lynch et. al.)."
See also "Every Breath You Take."
@eustressor Bingo was his name-o etc.
I like the carpet idea. Mrs Monzo used to say I make a good tune, and then spoil it by adding distorted samples of disturbed friends. I'm obviously doing the same thing as the rug boys but the deliberate imperfections are difficult to spot in your track. If anything your work is super smooth, but in a David Lynch way. Though if anyone's doing the soundtrack for Eraserhead then it's me.
@JGY - Sorry I haven't commented sooner. Truth is, this audio/visual piece confounds me some. I feel like I only half get it, and that's OK. Because there's something intimate and exclusive to the Goodyear marriage at the heart of this piece. Which, for me, takes it out of the realm of critique and more properly into the realm of admiration and "things that make me smile." So good on ya both. The art and affection on display here are beyond classroom discussion for me. Just pleased to know you are and this is
I always loved "Every Breath You Take" for its surveilling jealousy combined with that beautiful melody and instrumentation. When I was in high school, so many people I knew heard a romantic yearning in it. Yearning, yes; romantic, no. The juxtaposition of beauty and "creepiness" is indeed a wonderfully paradoxical thing, and something I've heard in other @JohhnyGoodyear compositions.
Sting himself said he thought it was a creepy song, coming from a dark place following a divorce. He seemed genuinely surprised so many embraced it as a "love song."
I like the balance in your work/expression jg, although this for me comes across more on the romantic and dare I say, get a brown paper bag ready, sentimental side of the emotional spectrum had nice bits of humour and a touch darkness, I liked the build up of the track near the end too. One question I have, have you ever considered or made a short film or documentary? There was a video you did a few months back that was mainly photos I think but I was struck by the symmetry, it reminded me of one of my favourite documentaries.
Mrs supadom is a dancer too. Which is probably explains her temperamental nature.
I really dig the tune. Personally having started my songwriting career with a verse, verse, chorus, middle eight classic pop format I have to say that I'm getting further and further away from it. I prefer to approach it from the angle of what suits the song rather than conforming with the standards that while still valid and still fully functional, seem to limit creativity.
@mister_rz Thanks for the thoughts. I have a good friend our in LA who has been/is a Hollywood feature film editor. Lots of good stories, but also made me realize that if I had come to it a little earlier I might have enjoyed that line of work.
I am doing some commercial pieces now, some for our own company, some pro bono (kid's school etc), but I prefer doing stuff with music that's absolutely for sure
On balance I would have to say dancers as a species or subset as regards womanhood (from this perspective) bring net advantages.
I enjoyed putting this piece together. If I took it a little more seriously, I would go clean up the first draft video, but I liked how I could keep coming back to the same (beautiful) young woman, the rhythm, the lack of necessity to follow a shape/go to the coda etc. Maybe music for dancing (ha!) is good for that...
More than anything I'd have to say it was a sinuous little piece or groove that came out of TricTrac and I'm always interested in loop/dance things that can be made less mechanical (more sinuous). Which, in a circle, is how I feel about lady dancers also
My family has dinner parties like that pretty much on a weekly basis....
Intresting that I've been trying to humanize loops and grooves. Different Drumer and the Apesoft apps help with that.
+1 for sinuous ladies.
Interesting how we interact and 'brand' apps from our own viewpoint. I agree with you about Apesoft, but find DD too mechanical (which I suspect is more a reflection of what I bring to it more than anything else).
I really like that groove! I confess I didn't watch the video because the sounds were too intriguing. You have diverse musical tastes that I value, @JohnnyGoodyear!
This was great. Really enjoyed both the music and visuals. Just the right amount of creep with sweet. TRIQTRAQ is a cool app. Apart from the sax, were all the samples native to the app?
Also, really interested what software you used for the video.
Good stuff. Where can I see more?
Thanks @SpookyZoo, glad it met with your approval
Sax is the only thing not native. I like Triq's simplicity. Perfect for a quick make when of a mind. In the same way that Beathawk can be also (although they are very different of course).
Video was cut in Premiere.
