After The Rain - Bbedford48

23rd Jul 2013 03:23 - 13 years ago
Description : Instrumental.
Uses minor 9ths, unresolved harmonies, and atmospheric sounds.
Features my favorite guitar, an old Hagstrom. Minimalist playing, and some long bended notes.
Punchy in parts, sad and enigmatic in others.
I think this one escaped from me a bit, but that's good. I hope! Re-worked, mixed and mastered 3/29/2016

This composition is ol' skool in a most brilliant way. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I love the flute (long and quite funny story). I can definitely envision this as a theme song for a movie. Perhaps the end credits on a Clint Eastwood movie!

Love & Light

Hi Mykeal
Many thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I often try to break out of ol' skool, but I guess I have too many miles on the clock! :)

enjoy life

What a nice sounding production, loved all your instrument choices. The guitar has a wonderful tone. I really liked the flow of this, nice breaks and changes, such a nice track on a Sunday morning! Well done Bob!

I really like how you get clear separation in your instruments. That flute(?)is perfect. Beautiful guitar work. I really enjoyed that piece even though I am not huge into this style and know very little about it, it was a pleasure to listen to the quality production and the talented musical work. No advice can I give to this it sounded all good to me even though I could hear a tad of white noise from somewhere which could have been added for atmosphere or my listening devices but it wasn't enough to detract from its beauty.

Cheers

Many thanks for your review Will. I'll go through it and see about the white noise. It may be intentional, but if not I'll see if it can be taken out

best regards

Hey Ed,

Thanks for dropping by, and thanks for your kind words.
I bought a new guitar a while back, but the old Hag has a unique sound, so it still gets used mostly.
I'm getting round to catching up too!

This isn't necessarily my taste in music, however I don't let that get in the way of recognizing the talent here. The arrangement is, for a lack of better terms, classy. I like how the beat stumbles into the pillow-y melodies. Definitely a clean and professional sounding mix.

Hi V,

Many thanks for your perspective. I know how hard it can be to listen to stuff that you would not normally do.
I liked your description. It gave me a new insight into how the track sounds to someone else.

I do not know how you compose, how you work, but each time it is very professional, very well organized .... seamless and high quality.
I'm really a big fan of your designs .... Congratulations Bob, this really is exceptional .... for me.

Hi Dan

Many thanks for your comments. Coming from someone with your high talent, it's a big boost for me.

I don't have much control of the process. I just lay tracks and try to refine them. It doesn't always work. One thing I like is to make the melody tentative, and hold the unresolved. Another thing I've noticed is, that the best parts of the music often comes from mistakes.

best regards

Bob

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. Comp edited the recorded guitar freestyle clips so it all sounds like it was recorded in one take. I used one of my old beats. Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made the guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make.
