Hey Cam, i love this restaging. It’s faithful enough to the original that i sang along without missing a beat, and the krimsonesque instrumentation kept me really engaged with sinuous fuzzy swimmy bliss.
This song has powerful connotations for me, it has soothed me in troubled times. And here it does it again, and it’s delivered by a friend.

i love these sounds and cool changes contained in the track. my criticism is in the spatial depth of the mix, i think you could expand the soundrange some. i like it, man.

MLM6 replied 27th Dec 2022 - 3 years ago

Hey thanks man. This is the type of criticism I was looking for. This one was hard for me to get it to sound the way I want it to even tho I was working on it pretty long. and I completely get what you saying. I'm glad you like the beat and sounds. Thanks again

on bout to get heavy by pseudoble

ah damn, ian, this is finely, weirdly spectral wordjazz music. the play of context, texture, experimentation and deep rhythms is a feast. ace track.

pseudoble replied 9th Nov 2022 - 3 years ago

Thanks mate - this is different from the other recent efforts but I liked where I got to with the cross rhythms and the stereo mix with this one. Had to go work earlier today but looking forward to hearing you new one shortly : )

on Pinky and Skinny by theHumps

well i hadda go and google whidmey isle — still out of power from the storm, it’s been out for over a century.
you are a natural with that theremin thang! go west, young man!

theHumps replied 9th Nov 2022 - 3 years ago

Whidbey Island is just north of Seattle. I chose that and Portland as landing places to and from the Klondike, sounds reasonable enough to me.

I am going through another tropical storm as I type, windy and rainy now, worse to come today and tomorrow. Hope my temporary roof from the last hurricane holds up.

The theremin is like the harmonica, all the right notes are there, it's just finding them with the right hand then, with about 20 seconds of practice you can hone in on where the good notes are. Over 20 scales to chose from which is handy. Gonna be fun seeing how i can utilize this in my music.

Be safe!
