Awesome. Cant wait to listen, and glad to hear you’re well Mike! @LinearLineman
Feedback pls @Edward_Alexander. I hope all is well with you, too!
I’m hanging in there Sir!
Ok, so I listened to this album this morning, and here’s my feedback:
Top three favorites in no particular order;
1 - “Love at Noon” - LOVE that EP sound and love your playing!
2 - “Two Men on Bass” - I wasn’t sure about this. I went back and listened to it a second time after finishing the album and decided it was going to be in the top 3! Nice!
3 - “Nostalgia @2” not sure what secret sauce you put into this, but it worked! Took me right back to the back seat of my grandparents Pontiac Catalina, and those old tunes they used to play. Love it!
“Pure Symphonic” gets an honorable mention because it sounds amazing! Love the strings!
And totally dig the Bass sounds in “Cold Day”! (Beathawk Total Bass?)
Thank you for that @Edward_Alexander. Yes, Total bass. Two Men on Bass is SWAM walking bass.
Glad you’re doing good!
Hi Mike. Glad to hear you are doing well. I was starting to wonder. I listened to a few but have to cut it short. Karen is back in her migraine cycle, so I’m making dinner tonight. Heavens to Murgatroyd! I’m actually not a half bad cook. I’m thinking some spicy tuna salad on sourdough toast, some cheddar chips, and a nice fresh tangerine.
I like Not Brontosaurus Anymore. The title drew me in. It sounds a bit like something I might do. A rambling, cinematic soundscape. Lots of things that sound random, but also arranged. If that makes sense. It does to me.
The other is One For Keith. I’m guessing that’s Keith Jarrett. You are both great improvisers. I liked the drum parts you used. Reminds me a bit of Jack Dejohnette. Probably because he just passed and I’ve been listening to New Directions today. In addition to being a great drummer, he was also a fine piano player. I sat directly behind him at Jazz Showcase one night. Like two feet away! It was a very small venue. Another time I sat directly in front of Art Blakey with my big feet in his kick drum. He was really high and didn’t seem to mind.
Anyhow, I better make some dinner. May the road rise to meet you.
Congrats on another album release. You're going to get to 100 before I get to 5!
I thought it might be all piano before "brontosaurus..." flipped that notion. Always nice to hear some strings
That's Rockin' Good News, MIke!
I'll write back this weekend.
Thx @Paulieworld @klownshed @Edward_Alexander. Much appreciated!
It’s BandCamp Friday when the artist gets paid 100% of the donated price so I bought another @Linearlineman Album.
There’s a lot of Bach-like melodic content on this one… little segments that remind me of the Inventions, Preludes and Fugues.
Makes me wonder if you ever worked your way through those Bach Keyboard Volumes.
Also, are these re-mastered works from your library of Cubasis projects or pieces improvised recently?
Spooky, @Paulieworld picked my two favourites as well !
Did I detect a bit of Pork Pie Hat in Love at Noon ?
Another banging album, as the youth of the day might say…
Nearly there Mike… we have faith 🙏
Thx for the purchase @McD. They are, indeed, remastered best ofs. Limping toward the finish line!
Thanks for listening @GeoTony. No intentional Pork Pie Hat, I'm sorry to say.
I also hear the occasional, unintended “quotes” in @linearlineman improvisations. With 12 notes to the octave the odds of outlining a well known melody is very likely. I think my mind falls into listening for references when I listen to jazz inspired
Improv’s giving extra credit for clever quotes.
I spend a lot of time trying to comprehend the mental workings of the @LinearLineman and have never found many clues.
The variety of his output without seeming to copy is pretty impressive. But then I fall into waiting for references to an earlier section which most composed music tends towards… but I don’t often hear any repeated material unless it’s one of hits classic
Post production techniques… he just re-plays a 1-2 minute imrprove to lengthen the overall results. Pick the 1/2 way point and start there… it will sound like the beginning but maybe with new instruments chosen in Cubasis. That serves to feed my mind as
A suitable structure: A-A rather than a song form A-A-B-A made from 8,12 to 16 bar phrases.
Thx @McD, absolutely unintentional! The best explanation I can give as to what happens is that I access an intuitive energy (not to be too woo-woo about it) that accesses the cognitive database of musical history i remember. It comes out in an unplanned orderly jumble which I record, orchestrate and usually repeat.
That’s my formula, anyway, and I’ve stuck to it!
