Glad you're back, Mosaic.

I hope you are doing ok. I'm not going to pry into the issues, I just know that health issues are scary as hell and they make you look at life very differently. I hope you are alright.

Thanks for the track appreciation! I enjoyed this one. This one sounds a bit Celtic, you say? I did one that apparently sounded Asian a few weeks ago, now I'm heading back to where I came from.

Take care, and welcome back.

Evan

You are correct. Strings, piano and piccolo.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback!

Evan

Thank you much!

Hello, good sir. I hope you are well.

I really enjoyed doing this one. I felt like it kept coming out like I was hearing in my head. I spent a lot more time with the VI's in this. Several lines of automation, which I almost never use. 1 in 10 tracks may have automation.

"The (high bass) guitar riff around 2:00 is a killer one"

Thanks. It was an odd one to play. A and D strings, up around 10 and 12, but I tune Drop C#, so it would be a half step higher.

Thank you for the kind words, consistent presence and appreciation of that sweet, sweet thang we call Bass Guitar.

Take care.

Evan

Howdy!

I always record everything twice and pan them. Gives a nice modulation without and added FX.

"I don't see cannibalism. i do see outdoors, the wild, adventure."

This is the hunting, not the eating. I may do that next track.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback.

Hello!

You mean Monty Python. Holy Grail, I'm guessing. Damn fine movie. Only one horse. Whole movie, only one horse. Three seconds scene where a knight rides into the shot and slashes the throat of an old historian who is giving the audience details of the story's history. That's it. The rest of the movie it's coconuts,... which are tropical.

My track "The Farcical Aquatic Ceremony" is from that movie. Dennis, the "old woman" who squabbles with the king about electing the king and how one becomes king.

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no means for a basis of government. Supreme executive power is derived from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony"

Good stuff. "And Now For Something Completely Different" is probably my favorite.

Sounds like my next track should be some Math Metal. The band Mudvayne were awesome at that, back before they started sucking. "End Of All Things To Come" was an awesome album with tons of layered rhythms and time signatures.

Were I a more patient man, I'd have that in every track, but I'm still trying to learn how to make things sound really heavy and aggressive. When I try, it sounds plunky and lifeless. Learning.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to incorporate it into future tracks.

Evan

Aaah, yes. The drum delay. I had parts in there that were off, then went in and fixed them, but a few hits are still off. I'll be fixing that soon.

Thanks for the helpful feedback, and thanks for the listen!

Evan

Thanks, Mr. Vincey!

I try to have at least one significant change in each track, besides verse/chorus/verse....

Thanks for the comment and the listen.

Evan

Well, hello!

"im not really a guitar kind of guy (sorry :D)"

Don't be sorry. I'm not into any electronic music, dance or rap, so I'm not into most people's stuff on this site. There are about 7 or 8 people here that put out live instrument based music, and I usually stick to listening to them, and other random rock-ish stuff that springs up here from time to time. I'm just glad you gave this a listen and you liked it!

Thanks for the kind words, and for stepping out of the good old comfort zone.

Evan

I'll bring up the drums next time I'm in the program.

Thanks for the feedback!
