Bicycles In Love - DanGoldstein

Incredibly original idea mate...artistic approach takes the spotlight here! I always like unconventional tracks which
provide a decent dose of creativity and inventivenes like
this one surely does! Faved!:)

Due to my pre-existing mindset, I did not look at the art until just now. I can actually see what you did musically in the art work, and for that you deserve congratulations! One of the only reasons I work on making my instruments look good is that I have trouble with memory especially when it crosses the line between visual and auditory... I think it is due to early life brain injuries. Action is my strongest sense, if you can call it that, so if I can associate action with sight and sound, then it works out usually. I think you've done that well in this case after viewing the art work. I really like the instantaneous nature of this piece, and I think you are progressing in your works substantially. Thank you for your reply and for sharing your works with us!

Very interesting expression here! I think I have some amount of difficulty relating to the visual art influenced music because of my own artistic endeavors. When I need to create it is generally either musical or visual, and the only time that they cross paths is when I build instruments.... however, they do not make music unless I use them as an instrument. Then again, there are my old "audio sculptures" which used the pattern blocks in FL to create an image, and a song resulted. Either way, the visual part is a side effect when combined with my music generally. I like the simplicity of the synth lines, and I feel that the whole track could be enhanced over time. Cool to hear some of your new stuff!

Update to my last comment :)

Ivan Opium is in real life Burkart Schmidl and he makes real strange soundproductions and stuff ..... exelent stuff for listening (in a way) and he was one of the inventors of World Music ..... one of the last things he did can be seen on this video on his homepage.

I bet that you will enjoy the interface he use there to create his music

Nice one Dan, look forward to see how this one ends up! Ed mentioned Zappa, have you ever seen the video of Zappa playing the bicycle? It's great.

Experimental and interpretive music was fairly popular 40 years ago. Maybe I'm not tuned into the right channels but it doesn't seem as mainstream as it was back then. I am starting to see where you are going with your art project more clearly.

There is a sense of fun intensity to the track. I can imagine you are picturing 2 bikes cruising down the street, bumping into each other, a horn here, a toot there, driving recklessly in lovers bliss. The brass sounding instrument sounded like bike horns.

If I could suggest working the drums/percussion a bit. They are cool and can be part of the track but I also want to hear a little of the bikes swooshing or whizzing down the street, weaving back and forth and all about. Kind of hard to explain exactly but maybe that will help you in some way.

btw, this song needs some drums, lol.

:) a short love or was it only a quicky?

Cool one Dan. Very nice mix of intresting things.
This one reminds me on some old stuf i listen to in the 80´s.
Lots of peoples tryed to do something "special" and or new that time. Nice to see that right now also peoples around who do the same research.

After listen to this one i tryed to find some old stuff from that time to listen to and it was realy realy hard to find BUT at the end i had sucsses on spotify

This is maybe far away from this track but i believe that you will found some of the tracks realy "intresting"

stay tuned

Its experimenters like you that take musical ideas to new places Dan..Zappa did music that wasn`t always preferred listening for many of us...but it sure was interesting and a source of creative ideas....not sure about how those bicycles are going to get along (but since more than a few humans find that difficult too they just as well give it a shot HaHa)...Always a pleasure to stop by your place and hear what you have been up to....well done....keep on...Ed

lets see a music video!

Still trying to visualize two bicycles having a sweet romance. Cant seem to figure it out :p.

The track is pretty weird but the sounds are all very nice and clear and make a really funny ensemble. I think it could be worked out more. I definetly would take another listen then and see what came out of it!

Bizarre track,but I believe it works,sounds like something off a jazz fusion album,respect to you for putting it out there mate,who needs traditional harmony these days ha.:)

You should add some drums.

what an experiment. Sounds like you could build a tune off of that drone like sound and beats.
Curious to see how it evolves.
