Thank you for the encouragement and kind words! Good to hear from you again!

Evan

Hey, Domenico.

If you were repeating yourself saying "very bad track", then I would worry.

I wanted to get back to the bass guitar. Ever since I got the six-string, it's been my Sirenum Scopuli. I've been drawn to it every day, and the bass has been a bit neglected.

Glad to not have overdone it. I was right on the edge of that.

Thanks for the listen and the kind words.

Evan

The good man Danke!

I listened and compared intros and I totally hear what your saying. Yours has a better touch, I think, but I always think another's music is better than mine.

I thought the lead guitar's tone had too much bite to it as well. I'll be changing things around soon.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback. Always good to hear from you.

I've gotta get you to phonetically write your name so I know how to say it in my head.

Danke like Ankh?

Danke like Dan Key?

Danke like Frank?

Someone here did a rap once and used something of yours, and tried to say your name in the beginning, and gave a few options himself. I've just always wondered, and I've never come across that name in the states.

Evan

Still haven't heard any, but get the reference a lot. Thanks!

Evan

Inspired by a cheese-burger egg-roll.

Hello, Scott.

I've had several references to King Crimson on my stuff. Never listened to any. I'll be getting on that.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback!

Evan

Greetings!

"Not so fond of the synth sound starting at 1:49"

I believe that is the accordion and marimba combo. I've wanted to use accordion for a while. Sorry, but I've been diggin the marimbas lately.

I appreciate the feedback. Hope all is well with you.

Evan

Hello again!

"try to find some rational formula or use proportion in the tempo changes"

I don't find the tempo change odd. I see "unexpected", but that is part of what I was going for. Never tried to automate the tempo track. Sounds like something I need to look into.

"I think the piece is a bit too short to make a tempo change"

I may add to this one, or expand parts that I already have.

Thanks for the feedback,... and the automated tempo thought.

Evan

Greetings.

First off, never apologize for a negative review. You have a right to dislike anything you want. If I'm horrible, and nobody tells me, I will continue to be horrible. Your honesty helps.

"I tried many times and at least I played it in its entirety, unfortunately with some unexpected slience breaks between the 7/8 and 21/16 grooves."

I have no idea what this means. Is the music player here putting pauses in the track? I just listened to it here and there were no gaps.

Or, was the track so bad that it took several goes to finish without retching?

"I couldn't get too much into that distortion gradation, probably because I am producing slightly different stuff at the moment"

Right-on. Does that mean since you're doing very different music, you dislike what is unlike your present creations? I guess I don't understand. No matter how soft a track I'm doing, I still love Mudvayne's L.D.50.

"at some point I can hear some scottish influences in here"

I'm guessing that's the fiddle line. I've had several tracks that I wanted to use fiddle in, but this one seemed the most fitting.

"I can't see any significant variations in the volume range almost throughout"

Agreed. I guess you don't like the lack of dynamics. The waveform looks like a flat-faced eel with a fish-tail. I didn't intend to give this one any room to breathe. That's partly why it is so short. My last track was slow and soft. I wanted the opposite in this one.

Thanks for the review! I hope all is well with you.

Evan

Holy Thanks A Million, Batman! Hard to accept such kind words. I've been fixing the drum sounds in bursts and re-uploading. I think I'm getting closer.

That makes four Zappa references. I officially need to listen to some.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Evan

A-A-Ron! Among the living! Past the contagious period! Happy for you.

Rock-a-billy? I guess the verse parts do seem like they could be taken in that direction, but I had no intention of doing that.

I was thinking recently of doing other genres like country and hip-hop, just to see if I even know enough about each to attempt it.

I decided not to. I'm not that bored,... yet.

I would like to do a whole track just piano, so I can get better at writing piano parts that sound natural and more like a real piano piece.

"It's still exudes your trademark sound, but it's in a completely different arena than a good portion of your other songs."

That is what I'm going for anymore. I've found my sound, it's keeping it fresh and not repeating myself, while not abandoning anything as well.

I figure, like most other heavy music, that my music will get less heavy over time. Less anger and frustrations in life. I just hope it keeps getting better. A few years ago, I would not have thought of writing a track like "Basso Continuo" or "Hangin Round Aceldama". Far too light and vaginal, but now I think that, whatever comes out is what needed to come out. So if it is an extension of myself, and I must be true to myself, then I will accept any change that comes about.

But I will try to steer the ship more towards the Lands Of Badassery.

Thanks for the feedback, Aaron. I'll work with the kick tonight. I got a lot of high-end in the cymbals too that I need to deal with.

Take care.

Evan

Good to know. Thanks.

My sampler will do that every now and then. I figure it's what we get for doing everything digital.

Evan

Thank you!

I never got into Motorhead, but have heard some and can't imagine any being "Laid-back".

Thanks for giving my track a listen and I appreciate the feedback.

Evan

Zank, CosmicOscar and now you have compared it to Zappa so I guess I'll listen to some.

Thanks for the feedback and the kind words!

Evan

Hey, I never mind the quick drop-ins. I'm fixing stuff in this track tonight so there will be a better version up soon. Hope you kicked the flu,... I'll be wearing my particle-mask next time.

Evan

Never really listened to Frank Zappa intentionally, maybe by proximity. Didn't know he had a marimba player either.

Thanks for the kind words!

Take care.

"marimba and the synth shared similar freqs or are close so I might suggest eq or something to separate those two sounds a bit"

It doesn't help that I've got a distorted guitar line in there that is also pretty close. I'll be going in soon to fix stuff.

Thanks again! Always good to hear your thoughts.

Good to hear from you! Thank you very much! Last track was soft and this one is getting back to the heavier, though I'm really not very heavy in any of my tracks. Not as heavy as I'd like. Never learned the heavy stuff.

Thank you for the kind words. Have a good one!

Evan

No, but we can hit both with sticks! Or sausage.
