I used to play with a band called Spirit House. We often opened with a piece called "Wu Wei" and started with a ney (Turkish end blown flute) and a didgeridoo. I made a didgeridoo out of giant timber bamboo from South China that was in the same key as the eucalyptus one the other player had.

We did a rave and were the 3AM break set. We were totally acoustic, weren't even amplified - sat on a Persian carpet on the cement dance floor of this underground event. You could put your fists together and have them both fit into that bamboo didg, it was that big around. The sound was equally as big.

And this was underground. I doubt any of the 300 + people there were over 25 years old. There was so much E floating about that it was impossible to fend off the contact highs. When we began to play, a line maybe 30 people wide stretched out in front of us about 3 feet away. Behind them, the mass of people crowded in so they could see us.

After 3 or 4 minutes of the ney/didgerido duet I came in with mine. The sound rolled out across the concrete and the audience all took a huge step backward. We nearly dropped our instruments.

That's what sound can do.

Ah. Trying to talk about the nonverbal stuff. Cool. This is my real excitement - the digital environment is finally capable of recreating sound that can achieve the same psycho-acoustic phenomena that I thought was only possible in Real Time/Space. On the other hand, talking about it is about as elusive as ever. Your imagined cinematic scenario does get the point across.

lol
thats what i was going for ;]
thanks for the review.

*OH AND THANKS FOR THE FAV! much appreciated

It's a strange composition - what may sound beautiful one day, may in turn sound rather toxic on another. Such is Nature reflected in Art.

But you see what I mean about introductions? This is an odd one, as it wanders initially, but still forecasts some of what's to come. The other point to pay attention to (I think anyway) is something the didgeridoo does fairly early in the song - a sort of rising howl - this is repeated when the song closes. This and the intro are things I've taken from writing and applied to this piece. I still have reservations, but think that it works.

da*n my dude thanx.... well put comment thats all i have to say thanx man thanx a mill..
i was going thur somethangs while making this so it kind of reflects my feelings at that moment ....

yea that would not be a bad idea, i do want 2 do more work on it but it does have that hoilday spirit in this beat , thanx for the comment , good look

Ken - I've indicated that this medium is quite new to me - starting experimentation in April/May of `09. One of the major insights I've had has been in my own connection/interface to musical production. I've always 'felt' that instruments dictate what is played on them. Not so much the traditional means of playing, but what the sounds invoke. I pluck and bend strings on my mandolin in more of a blues approach and never do the tremolo strum thing. In this digital enviroment, I'm finding the same thing to be true for me. Certain sounds (samples) dictate the approach and in turn the composition. This is true whether using only samples or a combination of live recordings of 'analog' instruments. DJ4Real's "Light Saber" loops for me sonically resulted in this song. Finding the other samples to support them was the real challenge, and the rest was tweaking everything to make it work. For example, the vocals have been transposed and are at a subsequently lower register than the original samples. I think it's why this and other songs I've made 'work' - it's really not that different in approach to what I've always done - it's just now my fellow musicians exist in their samples, and I'm playing all my electronic devices as a single complex instrument. Systems approach, maybe? Cheers for the lovely review, friend!
