I Wish I Could Fly - Crucethus

4th Nov 2014 00:32 - 11 years ago
Description : Updated and edited. Fixed the out of tune Piano and pops. 2003 remaster of this chill tune, Piano intro with vocoded singing and then an almost chill D&B sound with some soloing in the end driving the Korg Electribe from the Korg MS2000. Yamaha Drums and pads as well. Avant Garde track.

Hey Steve

Firstly you have named track just right, does give you that feeling of flying, listening to this with headset, great piano in the intro, nice use of vocals, lots going on in this piece but everything has its own place and shines through when listening with headset...Impressive work...Nice mix up of sounds exploding with feelings of flight...love it...FAV...Peace n Respect my friend...mosaic...

Intro with some vocals...not so common on your tracks. Classy.
Then at 1:25 the synth arpeggio comes in: superb sound and the contrast with the "noises" (whip?) works very well.
I really admire your ability to build "moving carpets" with these pads. Good.
What is not "on-par" (according to my humble opinion) is the sound you chose for the synth melody at 3:33
(exactly half of the number-of-the-beast ... wow! firs the witches ...now this...what are you doing to me Cru?)

The slaps come in ... and I love the lead synth sound at 4:22 ... simply beautiful. You are the master!
Also the scales you are playing create little dissonances which prepare perfectly the chords in the next section.

The end "closes the circle"...

What can I say?
This is a thing of beauty.
Loved.
Ciao, Domenico

Monsieur Loup.
Merci for the nice comments. "Whip" drum was my attempt at something new.

"Moving carpets" is a cool expression for the Pads.
"exactly half of the number-of-the-beast ... wow! firs the witches ...now this...what are you doing to me Cru?)"

As someone who doesn't believe in fairy tales, I assure you the 3:33 is just a coincidence. (Or is it Muoooohhhhhaaaaaahhhaaaaa.sic evil laughter fades out into a seriously dark reverb panned hall)

"Also the scales you are playing create little dissonances which prepare perfectly the chords in the next section."

Good Catch, I solo'ed in Fm over a Cm scale.

"PS: have you noticed that you are dangerously moving into the zone of MrNomad track's duration? ;-)"

Ahh no fears as most of his works are twenty minutes long chopped into segments. Myself I wrote this long before I listened to his work and I think I have only recorded one tune that exceeds the twenty minute mark.

ood to hear from you

yes an avantgard track from one of few avant gard musicians here ..
piano movemenT which begins the track is dolce & gentle & in the same time melancholich & imagery (especially with those haunting sounds )..a serious parT for pianO ..
smart & interesting transition around 1:39 which says :
'' U're listening to a Crucethus track , so U usualy can expect a variation or modulation ...''
wished I was born as the wind ...Steve ...
wished I wass born as a sound , a voice , a memory or a thought which has no physical & solid existance...which can fly away from here ...
...this one was talking without the words ....conceptual & also expressive & impressive ...
merci for sharing this ...
hope everything goes fine with U beyond that monitor ...

Badalamenti has this way of making beautiful sounds turn ugly without ever losing it's beauty. If that makes a lick of sense. I had never heard "Nostalgia" before. I'm glad I have now. Thanks for the link.

When the ancient Celts would make their knotwork, they would always intentionally leave a flaw. It was their opinion that the only thing capable of perfection were the gods. Once I heard that years ago, it gave me a new appreciation for flaws in our work. It keeps it human. It's almost a little more intimate. So, that missed note at 1:06 gives this song more life than it otherwise already has. I can fully understand why you left it in. I would hope, if you revisit this for that modern workover, that you leave it in.

Again, Take care.
Aaron.

very cool V

The Piano Intro came after the creation of the song and is based on the ending cinders of the song where you may hear a whisper of the piano rift. It was my first attempt at a Piano based intro and by the end I was so emotionally into the piece I was jammin hard on the keys and slightly touched off that wrong note. So I will keep it there to remind me that we are all flawed. And that that's OK.

Your best yet. The piano sounds superb except for a small bit after 1:06. Sounds a lil out of tune. Loving the break down with the drums, the snare that hits every other bar or so is nice. I like that wave like pad after 5:15. Spaced out vibes. Would of also liked to hear a bit more done with the drums. Otherwise, really like this track, excellent job. peace

1:08 I am jammin all the keys with intense emotive expression, and yes................. I hit a wrong note...good ear. I am not a trained Pianist so this was new territory for me back in 2003. But I like that there is this fault in the composition. I may revisit this in a modern way so who knows what will come of the modern mix in the future. As Always thanks for your insight and appreciate the props.

Very cool and complex piece here! My favorite part has to be the avant garde styling of the piano in the intro, amazing use of intervals and the like to evoke a feeling! Very interesting synth sounds and samples you've used in here as well. Definitely one of the coolest chill out songs I've heard! Deep and thoughtful. Very good stereo field and frequency range throughout. Thank you for sharing this beauty! Fave and DL!

Thank you Ed, I had a moment of artistic indulgence and I started to realize that my work around here may not be mainstream, but is a appreciated as a "Musicians musician". For that I am humbled and extremely grateful. Versatility is just my wanting to explore every nook and cranny of music. That curiosity keeps me going.

I like this one, a lot. It is a nice blend of elements. I don't want to take away from the creativity of it by any means, but it almost has an Angelo Badalamenti meets Ray Lynch meets Dead Can Dance vibe. That classic Crucethus duality between light and dark isn't quite as prominent in this one. I can hear bits of a darker undertone in some spots, but that may just be me. Mostly, though, it's just a good uplifting track. Like a leaf skating on the breeze. Nice work, man.

Take care.
V.

Lots of cool packed into this one Cru. Love the big piano intro and how you transistion into the pads and arps there at 1:38. I was just about to drift into a nice chilled trance...ahhhh . Then WHAM ! You slapped me back into consciousness with that metal whip and bang thing! Very unexpected. Really sweet composition here though with some very interesting twists. I liked it.

Loving the intro. The piano and the melody are great.
I don't think I've heard you a chillout piece before and i'm enjoying it. There's plenty of ambience, some nice pads and trippy drumming with some excellent ride cymbals.
Well done

it is great to be able to experience the different moods of this music when I realize you made it just using those synths - I love the sound-image!
my favourite part is from 4:41 when voco soloing starts - it could last even longer...
Your track definitely reminds of the older electronic which I am really enjoying - unlike something I can hear in the mainstream nowadays. It was a good therapy. Thank you. Alex

Alex, always spot on with the instrumentation. It is a synth sound from the Korg EA-1 processed through the MS2000 Vocoder.

P.S. I was rating the intro, now I have to listen some more.

(Thumbs UP!) Incredible, actually.

The mix is on point. I really do like this though. Thank you for making this track.

crucethus replied 6th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago
True MattBeater, it is a clumsy, but emotional start. Sort of how a small bird in a nest clumsily flies out of the nest. Then the whip sounds are the beating of wings until the break at 5;30 when are young chick soars into the sky. (the vocoded synth solo is the mother bird encouraging her young with Bird-talk). Music used to tell a story.

crucethus replied 4th Nov 2014 - 11 years ago
Thanks Easy. Song was originally recorded in 2003 I just remastered it (Originally the piano I used was from the Yamaha RM1x and I filtered it too much with Cutoff and Resonance, so a low pass filter and eq, later I re-engineered it. Love-Trap I like that name but interesting that you find it a current sound. My more experimental works like this tend to be years ahead of being accepted. But I also understand what you mean especially with the sub bass , glitchy drums and the metalic percussion.
Thanks for the comments.
