I'm happy, Renz. Found some compatible sounds in a single synth and made this one a low-stress, low angst "quickie". Glad you liked. Best regards my friend. Dan

Brilliant...though, at first listen (til I didn't see the painting) I imagined some small boats floating, waving, slowly rolling down the river with the possible choice of the upcoming danger...:-)

Than I saw that cruiser...:-)

Too good catch of the feeling Dan...

Hats off, Danke

It is interesting how the music for art tracks turn out. Sometimes the connection with the painting is mostly about emotional content. I think the music might speak of a happy ride in this commuter boat. Thanks for checking this out. All the best. Dan

I like your musical vision for that abstract painting. One could see it as something of a more uplifting and colorful painting but you guys shared the same view I had on it. Something eerie, unknown, dark, almost like a cave.

Great work on this and great use of the effects pads and synths to create a vivid atmosphere. Very creative I enjoyed listening to it.

i could see a more optimistic track for this painting. but it seems to work on some levels. I appreciate your comment a lot. feel like I still want one more session on this one. here is start of a forum thread on my site for contest. http://audiosparksforart.com/forums/topic/november-2015-contest-updates/

The Hills have eyes is a horror movie set in I believe the Arizona desert mountains. There's a group of deformed people, deformed by radiation and pollution as well as inbreeding, living in the hills killing anyone unfortunate enough to travel through there. Wrong Turn is similar. There's a group living in the woods of Virginia. Similar to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. Quite violent. The song with the pic is like being in the woods having escaped the hill people and seeing the freedom (the light) but can we make it before they catch up? This is the first scene from Wrong Turn 2. Enjoy this grossness :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmOggklDl6s

now I am behind on both your literary and cinematic recommendations. I may just have to rely on your for reviews at this rate. will check out that youtube though. Did you look at the contest art? Anything there that interests? I actually started a forum thread, though it is just a few posts by me so far. http://audiosparksforart.com/forums/topic/november-2015-contest-updates/

and all the art is here: http://audiosparksforart.com/profile/Mona/

If composer's pic is there it is claimed.

I see the light and an escape from these dark woods! But I'm scared of the light hahaha 3:D> Very cool you two :p Makes me think of Wrong Turn, the deformed hill people killing everyone that comes into their woods, like The Hills have eyes. Mona's looking better, I see she had some serious plastic surgery.

I easily get a mind picture of the art this may accompany..I don`t often think in terms of genres though I think this would cross several in its evolving journey and has quite an experimental focus..certainly does have the darkness so I`m feeling those woods are not the birds, butterflys and dappled sunshine type..haha...very interesting to hear the results of a collab of two such talented artists...definitely going to check out the link...well done guys...Ed

It has been amazing discovering Pete's process a little. No - these be some "watch out" woods. Glad if you were feeling it a little Ed. Always more to do but moving on is important also - so on I move. Thanks as always for support. Dan

on princess in white lace COLLAB with STOHGS by DanGoldstein
I know this some time ago but the beginning of this track just grabbed me and the rest of the track pulled me in.

With the picture and the music I see this lady in the white dress slowly walking among a city destroyed and empty. I see the picture in grey and black and choppy. She is wandering around like a tiny glimmering hope among the endless rubble and darkness. Then the very cool kind of like a growl transitions to the drums. I love the kicks by the way. And here I see the lady ascending up as reconstruction for a new future begins.

I love what you created here Dan truly captivating.

Hey this is nice! Has a very classic sample-based feel for my ears. If I said it sounded like industrial, then I would feel like the people who tell me that my minimal techno stuff sounds like industrial, so I will refrain... oops I guess I crossed that line already! I see you already have a colab partner, and I'm eager to hear where this goes! Ambient has so many different meanings depending on the artist and the listener, which does make it interesting. This is a good theme for the artwork which you linked to. Very fun to hear, and I look forward to any enhancements!
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied 8th Nov 2015 - 10 years ago
well the FL Studio fx are classified as industrial so I don't mind you picking up on that. Pete Tebar joined the fun and he developed a groove that moves things into a new section (and out again) pretty well. The latest upload is the rough cut of Pete's work and he has kicked the ball to me so very much still in progress. I think we might find a new bit of art for it since Halloween promotion is through! Thanks, Pat.

Now this sounds like a house I want to visit!! Why is it always haunted houses and not haunted banks? I like that kick, sounds like a heartbeat. AAAHHHH!! WHAT WAS THAT!!!!! Awesome Dan!
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied 15th Nov 2015 - 10 years ago
Pete's contribution took it into the dark, mysterious woods. Of course witches love the woods. But there is a sense of journeying in his groove - like journeying through a ravine walled in by trees. At least that is my narrative of convenience so I can assign this one to one of the music for nature art contest paintings! It seems all my kick drums sound like heartbeats - except maybe Metal Bass!

I was hoping to see/hear one for the Halloween Party In Hell 3:D> Hopefully you'll get a house producer to join the hellacious fun! Just imagine a party where it's all the same person err or whatever it is! Off to a good creepy opening.

Well - it did not get adopted by the house crowd! Pete Tebar joined the fun. Still in the ambient/weird forum I think. Latest update progresses things with a groove Pete came up with and ball is in my court. Still in progress.

thanks, Orlando. there was one more edit since your listen. revised the percussion solo section to use same instruments as beginning. i had a little more patience on this track to see it to a natural finish. of course there is always more we can do. i'm glad you liked it. very best regards my friend. -Dan

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!
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied 28th Sep 2015 - 10 years ago
you always challenge me - whether intentionally or not - to push higher. I spent more time on this one to work it out some more. I appreciate that you sensed some connection with the art. in the end, it is probably pretty subjective although I think there are approaches that work better than others. all the best Pat. Dan

on bicycles in love by DanGoldstein
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!
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied 19th Sep 2015 - 10 years ago
usually the art serves as a spring board. on longer, worked out tracks I am also just making music as best I can. this is a good example. the first half does speak to the art for me. as the track progresses, I am really just working out musical ideas and process. And as you say, this one has room to grow. thanks spiv

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.

great comments and ideas. i wish I had the time/patience/technique. No doubt the drums can be developed in this one. Actually this turned more serious than I had intended at the end. Getting it back to playful would be a good thing.

:) 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"

Ivan Opium - Made in HongKong - an album from 1984 (from germany)

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

Hey, Ed. I was always falling asleep in harmony class or otherwise distracted so I have had no choice but to come up with my own musical language. It's fun trying to create connections between the visual and the sonic. It is my muse. Glad you had a chance to hear. hopefully this one has some more to come. Best regards - Dan

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!
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied 15th Sep 2015 - 10 years ago
Hey, Mudhoen - yea - I am still figuring it out also. And it does need more working out I agree. I would like to convey more sense of interaction between two musical "personalities". Anyway - that would be one approach. the other would just be to let it evolve now as a track without too much concern for the original inspiration. I did post the music now with the painting if you are curious. Best regards - Dan
